Owner’s Manual - Oxygen Therapy Door
Door and Latch
Door Seals
The door has flexible rubber seal strips (Figure 8) on all four sides
to prevent the escape of oxygen. The corners are open to help
distribute the oxygen uniformly, and allow for the escape of carbon
dioxide.
The door is held closed by a self-actuating latch connector
(Figure 9). As the door is closed, the latch connector rides up and
over the handle and then falls down, locking the door closed.
To open the door, lift up on the latch connector and pull the door open.
If the latch connector and door are not properly adjusted, you may
have difficulty in opening the door, and it may not lock automatically
when closed. To adjust the door, loosen the bracket screws
(Figure 9), move the brackets slightly up or down as needed, then
retighten the screws. Try the door again, and repeat the adjustment
until the latch connector and latch work together smoothly.
If the above adjustment is not adequate, you may have to loosen
the screws on the door hinge brackets and move the entire door up
or down slightly.

Warning: Oxygen is a highly combustible gas. Avoid the use of open
flames, smoking materials, or equipment capable of producing sparks
in any area in which oxygen is being used.
