Operation
• Set the PARI BOY N compressor on a flat and stable surface.
• Plug the ends of the power cord into the socket at the rear side of the com-
pressor and a suitable wall outlet.
• Insert the adapter of the connecting tube with a slight twist into the air supply
socket of the compressor. Attach the other end to the PARI LC extension ring.
The nebuliser can then easily be attached to the LC extension ring. The con-
necting tube may remain connected to the LC extension ring for easier han-
dling.
Make sure that the side air vents are unobstructed.
Cover the compressor in no case during the operation.
Verify that the mains supply voltage corresponds to that stated on the
compressor.
Ensure that the tube ends are securely connected to the compressor
and nebuliser.

Cleaning
• Wipe the outer surface of your PARI
BOY N compressor with a moist cloth.
Should despite all precautions moisture find its way into the compressor, please
contact an authorised dealer or the PARI Service Centre (Tel.: [phone]
or [e-mail]). Do not reuse your PARI BOY N compressor unless advised by
an authorised dealer or PARI GmbH Technical Service that it is safe to do so, or
after an inspection and any necessary repairs have been carried out by the
above.
Depending on environmental conditions, condensation may collect in the neb-
uliser connecting tube during inhalation. The moisture must be removed to
guarantee optimum treatment. Please proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the tube from the nebuliser.
• Clean the nebuliser in compliance with the appropriate instructions for use.
• Leave the tube inserted in the compressor.
• Run the compressor until all moisture has been removed.
Before cleaning always switch off the compressor and pull the power
cord from the wall outlet.
Never spray cleaning liquids into the air vents! Moisture is likely to
damage the electrical or other compressor parts and cause malfunc-
tions.

Changing the filter
Under normal operating conditions the filter in the front panel of your PARI BOY
N compressor must be replaced every 500 hours of operation or at least once a
year.
In addition, the filter must be inspected at regular intervals (after every 10th to
12th inhalation). If it is soiled (grey or brown staining) or blocked it should be
replaced immediately. If the filter has become moist it should likewise be ex-
changed for a new one.
Do not attempt to clean the filter and reuse it!
Use only the original PARI filter. Your PARI compressor could otherwise be dam-
aged or the quality of the therapy may be impaired.
Replace the filter as follows:
• Remove the filter holder from your PARI BOY N by unscrewing it in an anti-
clockwise direction with a suitable coin.
• Replace the filter and insert the filter holder into your PARI BOY N. Screw it
tight with a coin by turning in a clockwise direction.
