Using the Divider Panels

Owner’s Manual - Regal Intensive Care Unit

General

Two removable divider panels are supplied with the unit: a wire grill divider, and a clear acrylic divider. Only one can be installed at a time.Adivider panel splits the animal compartment into two half- compartments (refer to Pages 10 and 11). The two compartments have individually-controlled heated floors, however, they share the same oxygen supply, heating and cooling.

The only purpose of the clear acrylic divider is to reduce the size of the compartment to minimize oxygen usage when treating smaller animals. Always use the wire grill divider if animals are present in both compartments.

WARNING: Never place an animal in the left compartment if the clear acrylic divider is being used. This divider creates an effective seal, and prevents the flow of air into the left compartment. If this divider is in place, an animal in this compartment can easily suffocate.

Installation

To install a divider panel:

1.Open both doors.

2.Remove the PVC floor (if installed) in the right compartment.

Note: Notice the guide channels for the divider panels in the rear wall and ceiling of the animal compartment (Figure 52).
