Operating Instructions
Referring to the illustration above, the Sky-Ox® portable
oxygen system includes the following components:
•a cylinder (1) with an On/Off Valve (3)
•a cylinder pressure gauge (2)
•Click-a-Breath Regulator (5) with either a 2-port
or 4- port Quick Disconnect female receptor (6)
that will accept a male fitting of a cannula or
mask in each port.
Sky-Ox®Portable Oxygen Systems are shipped with two or four pendent style
Oxysaver® Cannulas (see photo) and one mask. Each Sky-Ox® cannula comes
complete and assembled with a connector, flow-indicator, and pendant cannula.
The pendent style offers more freedom plus comfort and the ability to drink water,
coffee, a can of soda, or to eat a sandwich .
The size of cylinder you specified is based on projected flight hours of use. Based
on your order, the cylinder arrives either filled with oxygen or empty . If empty, the
cylinder must be filled with aviator-grade oxygen before using.
Ready to Use: Filled Cylinders are ready to use.
1.
Turn the On-Off Valve (3) counterclockwise until fully on. Turn clockwise to
shut it off.
2.
Check the cylinder’s content level on the cylinder Pressure gauge (2). This
gauge will indicate how much oxygen remains in the cylinder. If the indicator
needle is in the red area, the cylinder is getting very low on oxygen. If the
indicator needle is all the way to 2,000 psi, the cylinder is full. (All cylinders
filled with 2000 psi) . Do not over pressurize the cylinder.
3.
Activate the oxygen flow with the regulator’s Flow Adjustment Control knob
(7) by turning it clockwise. You will hear it click between precise oxygen flow
settings from .3 LPM to 5.0 LPM (see table or on the Regulator’s body).
