FILLING PROCEDURES
2.
1.
The portable unit should be filled 15 minutes prior to intended use.
4.
Begin filling the portable unit by simply pulling its vent valve
handle into its open position while continuing to apply pressure
on the portable unit to maintain its connection.
NOTE: FOR HELIOS PORTABLE UNITS ONLY: After 20-30 seconds,
close and reopen the vent valve one or more times. This will help
prevent the vent valve from sticking in the open position.

Position the portable unit above the reservoir’s Quick
Disconnect Valve and align it with the indentation on top
of the reservoir. Press down on top of the portable unit to
engage with the reservoir’s Quick Disconnect Valve. Once the
portable unit is engaged with the reservoir it can be filled.
Clean the reservoir and portable unit fill connections
to remove moisture and other contaminants with a lint
free cloth. Do not disturb or depress the poppet on the
reservoir or portable while drying the fill connectors. Also,
be sure to keep the portable in the upright position at all
times while wiping its fill connector.

When disconnecting the portable unit, simply hit the
disconnect plunger on the reservoir. This will disengage
the portable from the reservoir.
The unit is full when the hissing sound changes in tone
and a dense, white vapor is seen coming from under the
shroud of the reservoir. When this is observed, close the
vent valve by raising its lever.

If the portable unit freezes to the reservoir while filling,
simply close the vent valve handle and leave it attached.
Once the fill connectors have thawed, the units can then
be easily disengaged.
If the portable unit or reservoir leak liquid oxygen from
the poppet, reattach the portable to the reservoir and
allow the connectors to warm sufficiently to melt the ice.
Your portable unit is filled and ready to use!
