6.4 Replacing the air filter
IMPORTANT!
Good filter maintenance is critical to maintain
your mattress system in optimal operating
condition. Failure to keep the filters clean will
result in system downtime and increase repair
costs. It is recommended that the air filter is
replaced annually. Replacement air filters are
available from an Invacare Service Centre.
1. Turn off the power supply to the control unit.
2. Disconnect the power cord and air hoses.
3. Place the control unit on a flat surface with its back
panel uppermost (place soft cloth under unit to prevent
scratches).
4. Carefully remove the air filter shroud. Remove and
discard the filter and attach with new filter.
5. Re-attach the air filter shroud to the control unit.
The control unit is now ready for re-connection.
6.5 Replacing fuse
CAUTION!
– Ensure the replacement of fuses is carried out
in accordance with local legislation.
– Always use the same fuse rating when replacing
a defect fuse.
1. Turn off the power supply to the control unit.
2. Remove the power cord from the electrical socket on
the side of the control unit.
3. Insert a flat screwdriver into the small cutout above the
power cord inlet.
4. Pull the screwdriver carefully towards to open the plastic
carrier.
5. Remove and discard the "blown" fuse.
6. Insert a new fuse and close the plastic carrier.
7. Reverse steps four to one in order to reinstate the fuse
carrier.
