Draining the Anesthetic Reservoirs
Sometimes, it may be necessary to drain the anesthetic agent from the EX3000 for maintenance, transport,
and storage. Drain the anesthetic agent reservoir as follows:
WARNING!
CAUTION!
1. Turn OFF (0) the main power switch.
2. Close the oxygen supply valve and disconnect the anesthesia system from the facility oxygen
supply (if used).
3. Move the anesthesia system to a well-ventilated area.
4. Remove the drain covers from the bottom of the anesthesia system (see Figure 7-2).
Maintenance
Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated location. Refer to the anesthetic agent
manufacturer's MSDS for information concerning required personal protective
equipment and handling and disposal of waste anesthetic agent.
Do not wipe spilled anesthetic agent from any painted surfaces of the EX3000 or
the finish may be damaged. Allow the anesthetic to evaporate.
