Cleaning & Maintenance
CLEANING
To clean the exterior surfaces, use a lint-free cloth to remove loose dust. Use care to avoid
scratching the clear display window. For more efficient cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened
with water or an aqueous solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol.
MAINTENANCE
No special maintenance is required other than periodic lubrication of the piston O-rings and
the slide valve with the special non-toxic grease provided. To get to the slide valve for lubri-
cation:
1) Remove the four screws holding the valve to the 1/4" aluminum black back plate.
2) Remove the screws in front that hold the cylinder and valve together.
3) Lift entire valve assembly up and out of Ventilator.
4) Pull stainless steel valve rod free of valve block.
5) Lubricate sparingly.
