Checking For Correct Mounting Of The Vaporizer

w
Warning: To help to ensure correct operation, do not use a vaporizer which is visibly out of line on the
manifold or which can be lifted off the manifold when the locking lever is in the locked position.
1. If more than one vaporizer is fitted, visually check to make sure that the tops of vaporizers are square
to the manifold. If a vaporizer is visibly out of line, remove it from the manifold and attempt to mount it
correctly. Do not use a vaporizer which cannot be mounted correctly.
2. When the vaporizers appear to be level and their locking levers are in the locked position, attempt to lift
each vaporizer from the manifold.
3. If a vaporizer can be lifted OFF the manifold, remove it from the manifold and attempt to mount it
correctly. Do not use a vaporizer which cannot be mounted correctly.
4. Make sure only one vaporizer at a time can be turned ON, thus checking that the interlock rods are in
alignment.
5. Check the anaesthesia system for leaks in accordance with the relevant O&M Manual with the vaporizer
dial turned to 0% and then repeat the check with the vaporizer dial turned OFF.
4.4

Turning ON The Vaporizer

Note: Do not attempt to turn the dial if the vaporizer is
not properly locked on to the manifold.
1. Pull in the dial release illustrated on Fig. 4 and
rotate the dial counter-clockwise. Note that it is
not possible to turn ON the vaporizer if an
adjacent Tec 4, Tec 5 or Tec 6 vaporizer is turned
ON.
2. The vaporizer should not be used between OFF
and the first graduation mark. To avoid inadvertent
delivery of small concentrations the control dial
should be turned OFF when the vaporizer is not in
use.
4.5

Vaporizer Removal

1. Rotate the dial clockwise to turn OFF the vaporizer. If it is not completely turned to the OFF position it
cannot be released from the manifold.
2. Referring to Fig. 5, unlock the vaporizer from the manifold by turning the locking lever
clockwise to the unlocked position. Release the locking lever
up to the unlocked condition

and then carefully lift the vaporizer straight up and off the manifold.
