AIRWAY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

NOTE: Before performing any disassembly, refer to the
exploded parts drawing which references all mandatory
replacement parts. These parts should be replaced with
new and must not be reused under any circumstances
regardless of the age of the product or how much use it
has received since it was last serviced.
CAUTION: Use only a plastic or brass o-ring removal
tool when removing o-rings to prevent damage to the
sealing surface. Even a small scratch across an o-ring
sealing surface could result in leakage. Once an o-ring
sealing surface has been damaged, the part must be
replaced with new. DO NOT use a dental pick or any
other steel instrument.
