Emergency Start
The emergency start procedure shortens the self test
when the Apollo must be operational immediately.
The emergency start procedure can be performed up
to ten times in succession. After ten cancellations,
the system will not allow another cancellation and a
complete self test must be performed.

power switch on the front of the machine (1 in

oxygen flow control knob (2 in Figure 52). Verify
adequate flow by checking the total flow meter (3

workstation switches to standby mode.
