Cautions
CAUTION: This device uses high pressure compressed gas. When
attaching or disconnecting backup gas cylinders, always
turn the cylinder valves slowly. Use the AS3000 flow meters
to bleed down the pressure, watching the cylinder gauge
indicate the depleting cylinder pressure, before
disconnecting the cylinder from the yoke. Always open and
close cylinder valves fully.
CAUTION: This device operates using compressed gas at high
pressures from the hospital central supply. When connecting
gas supply lines attach the hose connection to the machine
before connecting the quick disconnect fitting to the hospital
source. Disconnect the supply hose from the hospital source
connection prior to disconnecting it from the AS3000 gas
connection fittings.
CAUTION: Refer to the “Periodic Maintenance Schedule of Service
Activities” on page 6-2, in the Periodic Maintenance section
for assistance when performing scheduled periodic
maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply
is in use and the system master switch is turned to 'ON'. If
used simultaneously, cylinder supplies could be depleted,
leaving an insufficient reserve supply in the event of
pipeline failure.
CAUTION: Use cleaning agent sparingly. Excess fluid could enter the
machine, causing damage.
CAUTION: This machine must only be operated by trained, skilled
medical staff.
CAUTION: Perform the electrical safety inspection as the last step after
completing a repair or after routine maintenance. Perform
this inspection with all covers, panels, and screws installed.
CAUTION: After changing the CO
