Suburban Mfg OXYGEN THERAPY DOOR 12155-00-DRDRAA - Manual (Page 35)

Form No. 702703 Rev. E August, 2006 31
Owner’s Manual - Oxygen Therapy Door
There is no oxygen flow into the cage.
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.
