Part No 1100873 8 HomeFill™II Compressor

SECTION 1—IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT allow oil from your hands or other sources to come into contact with the compressor coupling or bottle fittings. These substances may become flammable in the presence of oxygen and cause injury. Avoid touching the bottle fitting whenever possible. Example of items to avoid are hand creams or lotions, cooking oils, suntan oils or sunblocks and similar oily products. If you use these types of products Invacare suggests you wash your hands prior to using the HomeFill unit. If the bottle fitting should come in contact with such substances it should be cleaned off with a damp cloth prior to connecting it to the compressor.

NEVER oil or lubricate the compressor coupler or bottle fittings. NEVER use any penetrating oil or lubricant such as WD-40 or 3 in One. If connection difficulty is experienced verify that the bottle fitting is being inserted straight down into the compressor coupler. If continued difficulty is experienced contact your supplier for assistance.

Before moving or repositioning either the compressor or concentrator, ALWAYS push the power switch to the Off (O) position, disconnect the AC power cord and the interconnect hose between the compressor and concentrator. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit or personal injury.

Children should ALWAYS be supervised around the HomeFill II unit. When used with the HomeFill table or similar elevated support surfaces, a child could pull over any such table causing the unit to fall. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or product damage.

Use extreme care when handling and filling an oxygen cylinder. Full oxygen cylinders are under pressure and can become a projectile if dropped or mishandled.

NEVER transport a compressor with a cylinder connected to or stored on the compressor, otherwise injury or damage can occur.
