The pneumatic medical tents are designed to be inated with a

eg. Tent blower 0.23-0.47 bar
(Art. no. 1523017700)
Page 3/12
The ination connection for blowers is opened when air ows
through. Connect the ination hose of the blower to the ination
connection of the tent. Unscrew the cap from the ination connection in a counter-clockwise direction and check whether the valve
is closed. Make certain there is perfect locking of the couplings of
the ination hose with the tent coupling and the blower.
Start the blower and ll the tent until the maximum permitted
operating pressure of 0.3 bar/4.35 psi. The medical tent erects
automatically. The safety valve integrated into the support frame
avoids over-ination (greater than 0.3 bar/4.35 psi).
