 Inspection of gas and water feeding
When using a water container to feed water from the endoscope, inspect the air and water feeding
function as follows:
WARNING
If gas feeding cannot be stopped using the air/water valve, press the start/stop
switch to stop the gas supply and then replace it with a new valve.
NOTE
The gas flow indicator is OFF when water feeding has been continued for a certain
period. Even if the gas flow indicator illuminates again after the water supply has
stopped, it is not a malfunction.
