WARNINGS
- Be sure that you have read and understood these instructions and those provided with any other mangar international product, before operating the equipment.
- To avoid the risk of electric shock, NEVER recharge the battery in the bathroom, outdoors, or in a damp environment.
- Always disconnect from the battery charger before cleaning.
- Use only the supplied battery charger.
- Do not operate the Airflo compressor in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide, as these mixtures can create a combustible environment leading to the potential for fire or even an explosion in the presence of a spark.
- Ensure that when in use, the Airflo Plus and its connected hoses are laid out in such a way as to avoid any risk of tripping or strangulation.
- Ensure that children and pets do not interfere with the safe operation of the Airflo and inflatable products.
- Keep the Airflo Plus and inflatable product away from sources of heat and any sharp surfaces.

Battery Status Indicator
Before use, momentarily press the ‘Power’ button (A) to check the battery charge state. If the battery is fully charged, the battery status indicator light (B) will show a steady Green light.
NOTE:
If the battery pack has been removed and reinserted, the indicator light will
show Steady Green for approximately 16 secs before showing the true battery
state as below.
- Steady Green = Fully charged.
- Flashing Green = Recharge soon.
- Steady Red = Recharge immediately.
- Flashing Red = Over temperature cut-out. Flashing Red/Green = Current overload cut-out. (Leave for 3 seconds to self-reset).
The Airflo Plus needs to be recharged when the indicator light is flashing Green. Fully charge overnight before using the Airflo Plus for the first time and when new batteries have been fitted.
Battery Charging
The Airflo Plus is fitted with a quick-release battery pack. The batteries can either be re-charged whilst in the Airflo Plus or easily removed and re- charged in the optional charging cradle.
- Check the battery charger casing and lead for signs of damage and if damaged DO NOT USE.
- Fit the appropriate mains plug adaptor to the battery charger (A).
- Plug the battery charger into a mains outlet socket and connect the charger output lead (B) to the Airflo Plus charging socket (C).
- The battery status indicator light (D) will flash green while the battery is charging and then turn to a steady (nonflashing) light when the Airflo Plus is ready for use.
NOTE:
The charger is not capable of providing sufficient power to charge the
batteries while the compressor is running. To maintain battery condition, It
is recommended that the Airflo Plus is left continuously on charge when not in
use. The batteries cannot be overcharged using this charger.
WARNING:
DO NOT recharge the batteries in a bathroom or in a damp environment. To
disconnect the charger from the mains power supply, unplug the charger from
the mains power socket.
Operation
Disconnect the Airflo Plus from the battery charger and place it in a safe and convenient position.
- Connect the four hoses (E) from the 4-Way Hand Control to the corresponding numbered and colored connectors on the Mangar International product.
- Connect the hose (F) from the Hand Control to the Airflo Plus air outlet socket (G). The connector will ‘click’ into place when firmly pushed onto the outlet.
- To switch it on, momentarily press the ‘Power’ button (H fig.5). The light (J) will come on and will stay on while ‘Power’ is selected.
- Pressing any of the numbered Hand Control buttons will deliver air to the corresponding numbered hose (follow the user instructions for the Mangar International product that is to be inflated).
- To switch off, momentarily press the ‘Power’ button (H). The battery status indicator light (D) will go out after approximately 5 minutes. NOTE: If the Airflo Plus has not been used for 1 hour, it will switch itself off.
When the Airflo Plus is switched on, the internal microprocessor carries out a battery voltage check each time air is required and if the voltage becomes too low, the Airflo Plus will automatically switch itself off.
Cleaning
Unless contamination is suspected, periodic cleaning is all that is recommended. The Airflo Plus should be cleaned/disinfected as follows:
- Unplug the Airflo Plus from the battery charger. Clean the external surfaces using a non-abrasive damp cloth with warm water. Wipe dry thoroughly with a dry towel before reconnecting to the battery charger. Do not allow moisture to enter any part of the compressor.
- Do not use solvent-based products.
Disinfecting
Pre-clean using a damp cloth and then disinfect using a hard surface
alcohol-impregnated wipe.
Storage
When not in use, store in a dry place together with these instructions. To
maintain the batteries, when being stored for long periods, put the Airflo
Plus on charge overnight every 3 months. NOTE: Ensure that the batteries are
fully charged before storing the Airflo Plus for long periods.
Maintenance
At approximately 12-month intervals, inspect the air filter located in the base of the Airflo Plus (A), and if necessary, fit a new filter (a replacement filter is available through your supplier – part number: CA0074).
Battery replacement: (part number: CA0311)
- Turn the Airflo Plus upside down and remove the battery pack by pulling the handle (B).
- Fit the replacement battery pack, ensuring that it ‘clicks’ into place and is held by the four catches (C).
When it becomes apparent that the Airflo Plus is producing fewer than expected lifting cycles, the battery is probably reaching the end of its working life and should be replaced. The Airflo Plus contains no other user-serviceable parts. If a fault should develop or if you require assistance in setting up using or maintaining the equipment, please contact our Customer Service Department on Freephone at 0800 2800 485. A service manual (MI0338) is available for service personnel.
Disposal
When the Airflo Plus has reached the end of its working life, remove the batteries for safe disposal in accordance with local regulations, and dispose of the Airflo Plus at your local household waste recycling center (civic amenity site).
