OXYGEN SYSTEM
To service the oxygen system, use the following procedures:
When filling the oxygen system, only use Aviator’s Breathing
Oxygen, MIL-O-27210.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and oxygen
equipment clean and free from grease and
oil. KEEP FIRE AND SPARKS AWAY
FROM OXYGEN. Use only recommended
leak testing soaps
.
DO NOT USE MEDICAL OXYGEN. It con-
tains moisture which can cause the oxygen
valve to freeze.
1. Ensure that all airplane electrical power is off. Do not
operate electrical switches, or connect or disconnect
ground power generators during the oxygen charging
operation.
2. Make sure that no fueling or other flammable fluid servic-
ing is in process when servicing the oxygen system.
3. Always ground the airplane and the servicing equipment
before connecting the recharging adapter.
4. Read the pressure gage on the oxygen console just for-
ward and to the left of the pilot’s seat. The gage will not
indicate cylinder pressure unless the shutoff valve on the
oxygen cylinder is open.
Pull open the cylinder shutoff valve slowly
to prevent damage to the system.
