CARE OF YOUR FREEWAY LITE
Your Freeway Lite, battery pack and power pack can be cleaned by wiping with a damp
cloth. The storage tray can be removed for cleaning by lifting the Freeway Lite unit out
of the bag and pulling the tray out from under the lip at the top of the bag. The storage
tray can then be washed thoroughly in warm soapy water.
NOTE: You must ensure that the tray is totally dry before replacing it in the carrying case.
The carrying case can be machine washed (30

ture settings.
DO NOT wipe the inlet filter or battery connections.
CLEANING THE SIDESTREAM NEBULIZER (FIGURE 1)

twisting the tubing counterclockwise.
2. Rinse out the Sidestream nebulizer and refill it with a little clean water.
3. Reconnect the coiled Duratube and run the Sidestream nebulizer with the Free-
way Lite for a few seconds to flush out any medication that has become trapped
in the nebulizer jets.
4. Disconnect the Sidestream nebulizer from the coiled Duratube again by gently
twisting it counterclockwise.
5. Run your Freeway Lite for approximately 15 seconds without the Sidestream nebu-
lizer to dry out any condensation in the tubing.

together with the mask or mouthpiece, thoroughly wash all the parts in warm soapy
water and let them all dry.
