Setup and Inspection
1. Assembletheventilatorsystem.
2. InspecttheNewporte360ventilator,Newportaircompressor(if
used),ACpowercords,andverifythatthereisnoevidenceof
wear or damage which might contribute to a malfunction.
3. ConnectACpowercord(s)toproperlygroundedwallreceptacles.
4.
Inspect the high pressure air and oxygen inlet water traps on the
back of the e360 to ensure that there is no water or debris present.
5. Ensurethatthehighpressureairandoxygenhosesarermly
