7. Routine Maintenance
Nimbus 3 and Nimbus 3 Professional Systems
Maintenance The equipment has been designed to be virtually
maintenance-free between service periods.
Servicing Huntleigh Healthcare will make available on request
service manuals, component parts lists and other
information necessary for Huntleigh Healthcare trained
personnel to repair the system.
Service Period It is recommended that the pump is serviced every 12
months by a Huntleigh Healthcare authorised service
agent.
The “telephone” symbol will be illuminated on the
pump front panel to indicate that the pump is ready for a
service (Refer to “Service Indicator” on page 13).
Nimbus 3 Pump
General Care,
Maintenance and
Inspection
Check all electrical connections and the mains power
cord for signs of excessive wear.
Test the Power Fail Alarm before use (Refer to “Testing
the Power Fail Alarm” on page 15).
In the event of the pump being subjected to abnormal
treatment, e.g. immersed in water or dropped, the unit
must be returned to an authorised service centre.
Biofilter The internal biofilter can be run continuously for two
years before it requires autoclaving or replacement.
The biofilter can only be replaced by a service engineer.
