What to buy with Polar Active Ice 3.0 Cold Therapy Ice Machine System?
How to Set Up Polar Active Ice 3.0 Cold Therapy System?
- Start with the power supply unplugged.
- Complete all connections before turning on the system.
- Ensure the hose from the cooler to the therapy bladder is free from bends or restrictions.
- Fill the reservoir with ice, preferably large blocks, for extended cooling.
- Add cold tap water to the fill line (1.5 to 2 quarts), covering the pump without overfilling.
- Connect therapy bladder hose to cooler hose, ensuring a secure click of the couplings.
- Plug the power supply into the unit and the wall outlet; follow battery pack instructions if applicable.
- Set temperature control to Coldest, turn the timer knob clockwise to turn on, and wait for temperature stabilization.
How to Use Polar Active Ice 3.0 Cold Therapy Ice Machine System?
- Do not turn the system on until all connections are complete and the hose from the cooler to the wrap is free from bends or restrictions.
- Place the bladder over the targeted area with the smooth side toward the skin. Always use this bladder with a protective layer of fabric between the bladder and the skin.
- Use the elastic belt, tab or compression wrap to comfortably hold the bladder in place. Place the bladder on the target body part and hold in place with the elastic strap.
- Connect the bladder tubes to the Active Ice System tubes with the quick connect couplings. Depress the tab on the female coupling first, then press the system coupling into the bladder coupling until the user hears a click sound. This click is the sound of the couplings connecting and locking into place.
- Be sure the hoses are not restricted or bent, as this will restrict water flow through the entire system.
