USER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The unit should be kept clean and free from moisture and dust. Clean the unit at least weekly by wiping with a
dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting fluids or debris such as sand or dirt inside the oxygen connections. Do not
immerse in water. Do not clean with a solvent based cleaning solution. Avoid dropping the unit or placing it in a
position where it could topple or fall since this can damage the device. Whenever possible, use a padded
carrying bag such as those listed in the Accessories section to carry the unit. This will help to protect it in case
of a fall. The unit should be protected from extreme temperatures. Do not attempt any other maintenance.
STORAGE & hANDLING WARNINGS
When attached to a cylinder, do not place oxygen cylinders in unventilated spaces such as car trunks.
Excessive heat can make the relief valve suddenly and quickly discharge the cylinder contents,
possibly making it a projectile and greatly increasing the oxygen level in unventilated spaces.
Do not leave oxygen cylinders in the cabs of vehicles without ventilation. If a cylinder leaks, a spark
could start a fire causing serious injury or death.
Remove cylinders from the vehicle when the destination is reached. Be sure to secure cylinders from
movement during transport.
Heat, Humidity, Sun and Artificial Light have no effect on operation as long as the device is used
within the product specifications.
