Chapter 3 - Operating and Cleaning

Warning: Oxygen is a highly combustible gas. Avoid the use of open flames, smoking materials, or equipment capable of producing sparks in any area in which oxygen is being used.

Door and Latch

Door Seals

The door has flexible rubber seal strips (Figure 8) on all four sides to prevent the escape of oxygen. The corners are open to help distribute the oxygen uniformly, and allow for the escape of carbon dioxide.

Latch Adjustment

The door is held closed by a self-actuating latch connector (Figure 9). As the door is closed, the latch connector rides up and over the handle and then falls down, locking the door closed.

To open the door, lift up on the latch connector and pull the door open.

If the latch connector and door are not properly adjusted, you may have difficulty in opening the door, and it may not lock automatically when closed. To adjust the door, loosen the bracket screws (Figure 9), move the brackets slightly up or down as needed, then retighten the screws. Try the door again, and repeat the adjustment until the latch connector and latch work together smoothly.

If the above adjustment is not adequate, you may have to loosen the screws on the door hinge brackets and move the entire door up or down slightly.
