Replacing the
Fuel Cell
CAUTION: Do not remove the fuel cell from the bag
until ready to use.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when handling the
fuel cell.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with the sensing surface.
CAUTION: The fuel cell contains lead, a chemical
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
CAUTION: Wash your hands thoroughly after
handling the fuel cell.
The fuel cell powers the black calibration needle in the oxygen
concentration meter. The cell has an average life of about one year,
depending on frequency of use. Difficulty in moving the black
calibration needle in the oxygen concentration meter is usually an
indication of an exhausted fuel cell. Order replacements from SSCI,
P/N 853396. To replace the fuel cell:
1. Open the brown box, then open the plastic bag inside and
take out the fuel cell.
2. Open the electronics compartment (refer to Page 57).
3. Open the filter/fans compartment (refer to Page 58).
4. Inside the filter/fans compartment, notice the installation of
the oxygen sensor (Figure 79).
