Operating Instructions
NOTE:
Before starting, make sure the power cord
is unplugged and the power switch is in the
OFF (0) position.
NOTE
During high humidity
weather conditions
condensation water build
up can occur, so it is
recommended that you
run the compressor for
2 minutes before the
device is connected to
the unit.
1. Set the MaxiCompressor on a level, sturdy
surface so the controls of the unit can be
easily reached and adjusted.
2. Connect the delivery device (nebulizer,
humidifier) to the chromed medical outlet.
3. Plug in the compressor and turn the switch
to the ON (l) position.
4. To adjust the pressure, gently pull the
pressure regulator knob out of its “lock”
position. Move the regulator knob clockwise
to increase pressure or counter-clockwise
to decrease pressure. Observe the PSI level
on the unit’s gauge. When desired pressure
is reached, “lock” the pressure knob with a
gentle push.
5. At conclusion of treatment, power off the
machine.
A condensation trap is
available - for more
information contact
Global Medical Holdings.
NOTE
Cold temperatures may
result in poor compressor
performance. Bring
device up to room temperature for best results.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of possible electrical shock and
damage to the compressor, the MaxiCompressor
must be operated on the
specified power source.
The door should be removed before operation. To remove the door, grasp the hinge pin
with pliers or fingers and pull gently upwards.
To replace the door, line up the hinges on the

the nebulizer or the
humidifier are still connected. Liquids may flow
back through the device
resulting in damage of
the compressor.
WARNING:
This device is equipped with a hospital-grade cord and plug.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the power cord is
connected to an equivalent receptacle marked "Hospital Only" or
"Hospital Grade".

Troubleshooting
Cleaning & Maintenance
COMPRESSOR CLEANING:
1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (0)
position.
2. Unplug the compressor from the wall outlet.
3. Wipe compressor with a clean, damp cloth
every 2-3 days. This will keep the unit dirt and
dust free.
4. Allow compressor to completely dry before
plugging into wall outlet.
WARNING
Never submerge the
MaxiCompressor in
water, hold under
running water or
spray with water
or other liquids.
This will result in
compressor damage
and possibility of
electrical shock/
electrocution.
INLET FILTER CARE:
1. Pry off the inlet filter cap with a small
screw driver.
2. Remove the filter sponge and rinse it in
warm, soapy water. Rinse the filter
sponge in clean water.
3. Squeeze excess water from the filter
sponge and allow it to air dry. Insert
the filter into the housing, and install
the filter cap. This should be done
weekly.
NOTE
Maintenance guide
with technical information is available
through GMH upon
request.

that can occur in the home and from exposing this device to a wrong power source. To
replace a fuse, unscrew the fuse holder on
the front of the device. Take out the old
fuse, insert the new fuse and screw the
holder back on.
WARNING
