Suburban Mfg 12155-00-EPEPAA manual There is no oxygen flow into the cage, Remedial Action

Owner’s Manual - Oxygen Therapy Door

There is no oxygen flow into the cage.

Remedial Action

First: Make sure that the oxygen supply is turned on at the source and that your oxygen supply tank is not empty.

Second: Make sure the oxygen therapy door is properly closed and latched and not allowing oxygen to escape.

Third: Make sure the nebulizer bottle is in place and fully tightened.

Fourth: Check the regulator on the nebulizer to make sure it is properly adjusted. Refer to Oxygen Concentration Control on Page 15.

Fifth: Check the oxygen supply hose for kinks, leaks, or clogs.

If the hose is kinked or restricted at any point, straighten the hose to remove the restriction. If you find a leak, immediately turn off the oxygen supply at the source.

a.If the leak is at the oxygen source, call your oxygen supplier for repairs.

b.If the leak is in the oxygen supply hose, call SSCI and order a replacement hose, P/N 750492. Refer to Page 20 for replacement procedures.

c.If the leak is at the supply hose barb connector, remove the hose from the connector. Cut about 1.5 in. off the end of the hose, and reconnect the hose to the barb connector.

d.If the leak is between the barb connector and the 4-arm knob on top the regulator, try to tighten the barb connector with a 5/8 in. wrench. If this doesn’t stop the leak, there are probably damaged threads on the barb connector or in the regulator. Call SSCI and order a replacement barb fitting, P/N 854546 or a partial nebulizer assembly, P/N 749510. Refer to Page 21 for replacement instructions for the barb fitting, or Page 20 for the partial nebulizer assembly.

Sixth: Dirt or foreign matter may have entered the nebulizer and is blocking the oxygen flow. Refer to Cleaning Instructions on Page 16.
