SECTION 6—OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Oxygen concentrators were introduced in the mid‐1970’s to
provide supplemental oxygen to those in need. Oxygen
concentrators separate nitrogen from air to create a high
concentration oxygen gas output. Until now, the size and
weight of traditional oxygen concentrator’s have limited their
portability. The XPO
2
delivers a pulse flow of oxygen in a
lightweight package that can be easily carried and used away
from home.
This operator’s manual will acquaint you with the XPO
2
and
its accessories. Please make sure you read and understand all
the information contained in this manual before you operate
your unit. Should you have any questions, please contact your
equipment provider.
Filters
Air enters the XPO
2
through an air intake filter located under
the cover on the front of the unit. This filter prevents hair and
other large particles in the air from entering the unit. Before
you operate the XPO
2
, make sure this filter is clean, dry and
properly positioned.
To clean/replace the air intake filter, refer to Cleaning, Care,
And Maintenance on page 36.
