BATTERY OPERATION: To ensure proper operation from internal baery, fully charge the
baery for 1.5 hours as explained in the Baery Charging section. To operate the unit from an
internal rechargeable baery, ensure that no external power sources are plugged into the DC
power input on the side of the unit.
Once the power source is selected, simply turn the unit on using the power switch located on the
side of the unit. The power indicator light (displayed on the front of the unit) will glow yellow to
show which power source is being used and glow green when an external power is connected.

IMPORTANT OPERATION AND BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS:
Your 18605 portable suction machine is capable to run on AC or DC power. To ensure full func-
tion of this unit, the battery must be completely charged before the first use. Do not turn on the
unit before the battery is completely charged. It takes approximately 1.5 hours to fully charge
the unit. Charge the unit when battery levels are low to ensure proper operation.
WARNING
If the unit does not receive an external power source or the baery does not get recharged im-
mediately, the low baery indicator light will remain on and the performance of the unit will drop
off rapidly. Switch to another power source immediately to avoid an interrupted suction
procedure.
Adjust the vacuum level from 0 to 600 mm Hg by turning the vacuum regulator knob located on
the side of the unit (clockwise to increase vacuum and counter-clockwise to decrease vacuum).
The desired level of vacuum can be set by using the gauge located on the front of the unit. To
accurately read the gauge, block the patient end of the hose or cap off the collection bole and
allow the gauge to reach a stable vacuum reading.
NOTE
Gauge is for reference only. If the unit sustains a severe drop, accuracy of the gauge must be
checked.
Suction at the patient is automatically obstructed when liquid level reaches the float shut-off
located on the underside of the collection bole lid.
NOTE
Always transport unit with vacuum regulator knob rotated fully clockwise in case unit is dropped.
CAUTION
When automatic float shut-off is activated, contents of the collection bole should be emptied.
Further suctioning could cause damage to the vacuum pump.
CAUTION
Should fluid be aspirated back into the unit, equipment provider servicing is necessary as pos-
sible vacuum pump damage may result.
