Procedures

The following are proper procedures intended for use when performing scheduled
maintenance on the generator or in the unlikely event that the generator would
require minor repairs.
8.3.1 Cabinet
Removing Side Panels
To remove one or both side panels, unscrew the ¼ turn fastener(s) and
remove the panel(s).
Removing Back Panel
Remove both side panels, and lift off the back panel. Make sure the
power cord can pass freely through the power cord cutout.
Removing Lower Front Cover
Firmly grasp panel with both hands, and slightly bow panel outward to
remove.
Superstructure
The weight and forces of the internal components rest solely on three
parts: the superstructure, compressor plate, and the base. These parts
were specially designed and formed.
replacement under normal use.
Caster Replacement
Remove the cabinet panels to expose the caster nut. Remove the caster
nut with a 9/16-inch socket. (Use an extension for the two front caster nut
removals.)
Reconnect the cabinet panels.
8.3.2 Compressor
The compressor is the "pump" within the oxygen concentrator that pushes
the ambient air into the bottom of the sieve beds. This allows oxygen to
flow out of the top.
Two different aspects of the compressor cause concern: the output and
the sound level.
Output
Compressor output refers to how much compressed air the compressor
can produce. This depends upon the model of the compressor, stroke
size, bore size, and cup seal condition. The cup seals form the seal
between the piston and the cylinder wall. As the cup seals wear, the
compressor's output begins to gradually decrease.
