5 Important Handling Precautions
● Secure oxygen cylinders against toppling!
● Keep the instruments free from oil and grease!
● Before changing cylinders strictly ensure to wash the hands!
● Hand-tighten all connections only when assembling and
changing cylinders. Use no tools!
● Always open the cylinder valve slowly!
● Strictly no smoking or naked flames near oxygen fittings!
● Never completely empty gas cylinders! We recommend
keeping a spare oxygen cylinder in reserve.

● Unscrew the milled nut on the connecting bolt of the
OXYTRON
pressure reducer from the cylinder valve (5) of
the oxygen cylinder by turning it anticlockwise by hand.
● Take the pressure reducer (3), spiral hose (20),
OXYTRON
2 (6) and oxygen nasal cannula (7) from the

Note
To prevent a drop in the duration of use at temperatures
below +10° C, OXYTRON
2 should be carried under the outer
clothing.
6.7 After use
● On completing oxygen inhalation, close the oxygen cylinder
valve (5) by turning it clockwise.
● Check the oxygen supply: If the pointer of the contents
gauge is in the broken red/green zone of the scale, the
oxygen cylinder must be refilled or a spare cylinder
obtained to keep the instrument ready for use. The oxygen
cylinder should never be allowed to empty completely.
