Using the INOMAX Gas Inlet Connector
Proper use of the INOMAX inlet connectors is essential for safe and effective delivery of
INOMAX. Follow the steps below to ensure the regulator hose is attached correctly.
1. Visually inspect the two inlet connectors and the outlet connector for signs of wear or damage.
2. Prior to connecting a regulator hose, ensure the inlet connectors, on the INOmax DS
unit, have the knurled sleeve set in the back position (toward the INOmax DS
Figure 7-8). Should the sleeve be in the forward position, the inlet valve will be open and
the INOMAX regulator hose will not securely connect to the inlet (see Figure 7-9).
3. Insert the connector from the regulator hose into the gas inlet. Ensure the knurled sleeve
moves and clicks into the forward position, locking the connector in place.
4. To disconnect the INOmax DS
