The AS-200 suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is, however, necessary to inspect the unit before each use. With regard to training, given the information contained in the user
manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it doesn't appear to be necessary.
Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during
previous use. Connect the cable to electrical network and turn the switch on.
Close the aspirator outlet with your finger and with suction regulator at maximum check that the vacuum indicators reaches at
least -75kPa (-0.75 bar). Rotate the knob from right to left. The vacuum indicator should go down -25kPa (-0.25 bar). Check that no
loud noises are present. A protection fuses (F 1 x 1.6 A L 250V) reachable from exterior and situated in the plug protects the
instrument. For fuses replacing, always the type and the range.
Before changing the fuse, disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.
