Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting
There is excessive oxygen leakage from the cage.
Remedial Action
Note: Some oxygen leakage is normal. The corners of the cage are left open to help distribute the oxygen in the cage uniformly and to allow for the escape of carbon dioxide. If you feel that the amount of leakage is excessive, perform the following steps.
First: Make sure the door is properly closed and latched. If the door does not close or latch properly, the latch brackets are probably out of adjustment. Refer to Latch Adjustment on Page 11.
Second: Make sure the oxygen supply pressure is not set too high.
Third: There are black rubber seals on all four sides of the door. Check all four door seals to make sure that none are missing, loose, or damaged. If a seal is loose, tighten the mounting screws/nuts on that seal. If a missing or damaged seal is found, call SSCI and order a replacement. Refer to Page 25 for part numbers and replacement instructions.
