!DANGER
The Heavy Duty Suction Pump is a vacuum suction device designed for the collection of nonflam- mable fluid materials in medical applications only. Improper use during medical applications can cause injury or death.
For all medical applications:
1.All suctioning should be done in strict accordance with appropriate procedures that have been established by a licensed medical authority.
2.Some attachments or accessories may not fit the tubing supplied. All attachments or accesso- ries should be checked prior to use to assure proper fit.

Item # 18600 is used with a power supply allowing operation on AC voltage (115 VAC, 60 Hz). However the correct power source must be used to connect to adaptable wall power.
3. ELECTRICAL
Compressor
If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, you may have a low voltage situation. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1.The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2.Other motor operated appliances fail to operate properly. Too many motor operated appli- ances on same circuit.
!NOTE
The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats, the over- load protector will shut off the motor. If this occurs, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and allow the motor to cool (approximately 5 minutes). Restart compressor. If the compressor fails to start, wait an additional 5 minutes before attempting to restart. If this fails, inspect the fuses on your suction unit. If the unit still does not restart, call your medical equipment provider immediately.
