– before cleaning and maintaining the device
– immediately after use
– Keep the power cord away from domestic animals (e.g. rodents). They may damage the
insulation on the power cord.
Danger of a device defect
To avoid a device defect, comply with the following instructions:
– Make sure that the local supply voltage matches the voltage data marked on the com-
pressor identification label.
– To avoid overheating of the compressor,
– Never operate the compressor while it is in a bag,
– Never cover the compressor while it is operating,
– Make sure that the ventilation slits on the compressor are unobstructed at all times while
it is operating.
– To disconnect the compressor from the socket, always pull the power cord out by the
power plug, not the cable.
– Make sure that the power cord is never kinked, pinched or jammed. Do not pull the power
cord over sharp edges.
– Keep the compressor and the power cord away from hot surfaces (e.g. stove top, electric
fire, open fire). Direct heat may damage the compressor housing or the insulation on the
power cord.
Treatment of babies, infants, and anyone who requires assistance
DANGER
Life-threatening situation from strangulation
For individuals who are not able to perform the therapy session without assistance or
cannot appreciate the hazards, the risk of injury is greater e.g., strangulation with the
power cord or the connection tubing. Such individuals include, for example, babies, chil-
dren, and people with limited capabilities.
• Ensure that for these individuals a person responsible for their safety either supervises
or implements the application.
