Unpacking and Setup

Unpacking
1. Inspect carton for shipping damage. Report any damage to
the freight company before signing the bill of lading.
2. Check description on carton against your order.
3. Unpack unit, including all accessories and documentation.
4. Set aside packing materials in case unit must be returned to
the factory.
Setup
1. Locate and record the C1000/T serial number.
2. Visually inspect the C1000/T for damage from improper
handling. Note any dents in the container, cracks in the
case, missing or loose hardware, and bent or damaged com-
ponents.
3. Check the vent valve for smooth operation by moving the
vent valve lever down to the open position. Verify that the
lever moves smoothly when opening and closing the valve.
4. Move the flow control knob to each flow setting. Verify
that the knob moves smoothly and encounters a detent at
each setting.
5. If possible, connect the portable to a reservoir to check for
smooth coupling, and to make sure the portable unit is in
proper alignment with the reservoir when mated and there
is no interference with the shroud or case of the portable
unit.
6. Verify operation of the liquid level contents indicator by
suspending the portable. Hold the C1000/T on a table and
carefully pull up on the end of the carrying strap nearest
the contents indicator. Verify that the indicator mechanism
moves smoothly. If the unit is empty, the contents should
display empty.
7. Inspect the carrying strap and buckle for abnormal wear.
8. Companion 1000 T Only: Inspect the moisture cup for
cracks. Verify the presence of a clean moisture pad in the
moisture cup. Verify that the quarter-turn fastener operates
properly and secures the moisture cup to the bottom of the
Companion T.
9. Check all labels for damage and wipe away any dust on
unit with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
Transport
The C1000/T are designed with carrying straps. Portable units
may be moved about or transported in a vehicle while full
without damage. However, they should not be dropped, placed
on their side, or handled roughly to prevent physical damage.
Maintain unit in the upright position at all times.
