Installation
A permanent mounting is usually necessary only
when MEDUMAT Easy is installed as a fixture in res-
cue vehicles, helicopters or aircraft.
If MEDUMAT Easy is supplied complete on a porta-
ble system or in an emergency rucksack, it is ready
for use and requires no further installation. Separate
directions for use are supplied for portable systems
and emergency rucksacks.
In order to ensure safe and reliable operation, func-
tional tests must be carried out after installation (see
"8. Functional checks" on page 45).
Always wash your hands thoroughly before starting
any work on the oxygen supply. Products containing
hydrocarbons (e.g. oils, greases, alcohols, hand
creams, sticking plasters) may cause explosive reac-
tions if they come into contact with high-pressure ox-
ygen.
Never use wrenches or similar tools to tighten or
loosen the screw connections.
Removing the empty cylinder
1. Close the valve of the oxygen cylinder.
Switch on MEDUMAT Easy with ON/OFF switch.
This exhausts any residual oxygen and depres-
surizes the ventilator. Wait until the pressure
gauge on the pressure reducer shows an oxygen
content of zero before undoing the screw con-
nection by hand.
