Before disassembly:
• Make sure that the anesthesia machine is turned off and disconnected from the A/C power
source.
• Bleed down the gas pressure inside the anesthesia machine as described below.
• Disconnect all pipeline and cylinder gas supplies.
• Prepare the tools required for disassembly.
• Maneuver the anesthesia machine to an appropriate location and then apply the brake.
CAUTION: The internal parts may be contaminated. Wear special gloves during
disassembly and inspection.
6.1.3 Bleed Gas Pressure
Make sure to bleed down the gas pressure inside the anesthesia machine before disassembling
pneumatic fittings to avoid personal injury or equipment damage. To bleed gas pressure:
1. Close other cylinder valves and disconnect pipeline gas supplies. Do not disconnect the O2
pipeline. If O2 pipeline is not available, connect O2 cylinder and open the O2 cylinder valve.
2. Set the system switch to ON.
3. Turn on all the flow controls (except O2).
4. Make sure that N2O and AIR pipeline pressure gauges read zero.
5. Disconnect the O2 pipeline supply (or close the O2 cylinder valve). Push the O2 flush button to
bleed O2 from the system.
6. Set the system switch to OFF.
