Figure 24. Pin-Index Cylinder Mounting
1. Connect a gas cylinder (1) to its yoke as
specified below
1)
:
– Remove the old washer (2) and install a new
washer on the seat of the yoke gas inlet
connection.
– Verify that the two index pins (3) below the gas
inlet (4) are present.
– Insert the head (5) of the gas cylinder into the
yoke from below. Ensure that the gas outlet
and indexing holes on the cylinder head align
with the gas inlet and index pins of the yoke
assembly (6). Engage the indexing holes with
the index pins.
Figure 25. Cylinder Connections
– Turn the yoke handle (7) clockwise against the
cylinder head, so that the point of the yoke
handle bolt is aligned with the indent on the
back of the cylinder head. Verify that the
washer is in place, the index pins are
engaged, and the cylinder hangs vertically.
– Tighten the yoke firmly.
Note: When required, the cylinder valve (8) is
opened using the cylinder wrench (9) that is
provided.
2. Connect the hose from each cylinder to the
corresponding ports of the gas supply block on
the back of the machine (see Figure 25).
With the "Operation without nitrous oxide" option,
the gas inlet block has sealing caps on the N
2O
gas inlets to prevent N
2O being connected by
mistake. These sealing caps may only be
removed by DrägerService. To start using the
device with nitrous oxide again, the device must
undergo a full check by DrägerService.
3. Open the cylinder valves.
4. To ensure that the cylinder pressures are
adequate, check that the gauges above the
cylinder yokes indicate pressures recommended
in Table 2 on the next page. Also, if the cylinder
pressures are adequate, the cylinder pressure
LEDs on the front machine panel
(1 in Figure 26) are illuminated green.
