READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE
OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING
The se of oxygen therapy req ires that special care be
taken to red ce the risk of fire. Any materials that will
b rn in air, and some that will not, are easily ignited and
b rn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety
concerns, it is necessary that all so rces of ignition be kept
away from the prod ct and preferably o t of the room in
which it is being sed. NO SMOKING signs sho ld be
prominently displayed.
A spontaneo s and violent ignition may occ r if oil, grease or
greasy s bstances come in contact with oxygen nder pres-
s re. These s bstances MUST be kept away from the oxygen
concentrator, t bing and connections, and all other oxygen
eq ipment. DO NOT se any l bricants nless recom-
mended by Invacare.
For optim m performance, Invacare recommends that each
concentrator be on and r nning for a minim m of 30 min-
tes at a time. Shorter periods of operation may be harmf l
for maxim m prod ct life. If it has a damaged cord or pl g, if it is
not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or
dropped into water, call Q alified Service Personnel for examina-
tion and repair.
Keep the cord away from HEATED or HOT s rfaces.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any opening.

SAFETY SUMMARY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A. This prod ct sho ld be gro nded. In the event of an
electrical short circ it, gro nding red ces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical c rrent. This prod ct is eq ipped with a
cord having a gro nding wire with a gro nding pl g.
The pl g m st be pl gged into an o tlet that is
properly installed and gro nded.
DANGER
Improper se of the gro nding pl g can res lt in a risk of
electrical shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or pl g is necessary, do
not connect the gro nding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with ins lation having an o ter s rface that is green
with or witho t yellow stripes is the gro nding wire. Check
with a q alified electrician or serviceman if the gro nding
instr ctions are not completely nderstood, or if do bt exists
as to whether the prod ct is properly gro nded.
B. This prod ct is for se on a normal 120 V circ it and has a
gro nding pl g that looks like the pl g ill strated in sketch
A shown at the bottom of the page. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adaptor ill strated in sketches B and
C, may be sed to connect this pl g to a 2-pole o tlet as
shown in sketch C if a properly gro nded o tlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor sho ld be sed only ntil
a properly gro nded o tlet (sketch D) can be installed by a
q alified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, l g and
the like extending from the adapter m st be connected to
a permanent gro nd s ch as properly gro nded o tlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter is sed, it m st be held in
place by the screw.
