Oxygen flow control regulators are pres-
sure-reducing devices which lower oxygen
pressure from a cylinder to levels which can
be safely used by the user. Oxygen flow con-
trol regulators are intended for the administra-
tion of oxygen to patients who need increased
oxygen levels to improve their breathing con-
ditions. In addition, some models may be
used in emergency situations. In an emergen-
cy situation, be sure to contact a physician or
Emergency Medical Services immediately.

Use
Setup
•Inspect and install the cylinder using
instructions of qualified personnel. Be
sure to purge the cylinder valve seat
of debris.
•Inspect the regulator for oil or grease.
If these are visible, DO NOT use the
regulator.
•Be sure the sealing washer is in place on
the yoke inlet.
•Inspect the washer. It should be free of
cracks and debris. If cracks and debris
exist, the washer should be replaced
immediately.
•Slip the yoke over the cylinder post and fit
the pins into the holes on the cylinder valve.
The pins should fit easily into these holes.
•Turn the T-Handle clockwise until the screw
point is seated in the dimple on the cylinder
valve. Be sure the regulator is tightened
snugly onto the cylinder.
•Attach the oxygen supply tubing to the
barbed outlet connection.
•Be sure the regulator is in the “off” position
by rotating the knob counterclockwise to
the “0” position.
•For safety, be sure you are not directly
in front of or behind the regulator when
opening the cylinder valve.
•SLOWLY turn the cylinder valve on
(counterclockwise), about one full turn.
•
If you can hear a hissing sound, there is a
leak in the systematizer. Turn the cylinder
off and turn the regulator on to relieve
any built-up pressure. Try tightening the
regulator to the cylinder and opening the
cylinder again. If this does not help, shut
the system down again and contact a
service representative. NEVER attempt to
repair a regulator or cylinder yourself.
•If you suspect leakage, inspect and/or
replace the yoke washer.
•Adjust the flow rate setting by turning the
knob clockwise until the desired setting
shows through the window. For emergency
situations, this should be at least 6 LPM.
•If the cylinder pressure falls below 300
PSI (500 PSI for 5227 only), you should
exchange the cylinder for a full one.
•To turn off the system, close the cylinder
valve, wait for oxygen to flow out of the
regulator and turn the regulator to the “off”
position.
•
NEVER try to remove the regulator unless
the cylinder is off and pressure has been
relieved.

•This unit should only be used on patients
who are breathing; do not use to resus-
citate non-breathing patients. Do not use
with oil, grease or any other flammable
material. Keep out of reach of children. Do
not smoke in an area where oxygen is in
use.
•Do not use this equipment unless you have
been trained in its proper use or are under
supervision of someone trained in its use.
•If the pressure relief valve on the underside
of the regulator begins to vent oxygen, turn
off the system and remove the unit until it
can be serviced.
•Use ONLY manufacturer-approved replace-
ment parts.
