GENERAL PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS:
•
HEED is shipped empty. Fill prior to use.
•
No special training or SCUBA certification necessary for using HEED above ground or at shallow depths.
•
Never overfill the HEED system above 3000 psi, the air pressure stamped on the cylinder. ONLY use
purified, dry compressed breathing air when filling HEED.
•
DO NOT fill or use HEED if it has been exposed to extreme heat exceeding 250ºF, or open flame. Instead,
discharge the cylinder completely and return it to an Authorized dealer or the manufacturer for inspection and
possible hydrostatic testing.
HOW HEED WORKS:
Helicopter Emergency Egress Device (HEED) is a high-quality emergency breathing system produced and tested by
people with more than four decades of manufacturing experience. HEED is made in the U.S.A. by craftsmen
dedicated to producing a quality product. Enjoy the peace of mind that having the HEED brings.

technology found in typical regulators used by SCUBA Divers around the world. Our
always-on, breathe on demand, balanced single stage regulator is easy to use,
maintain and service. HEED 3 can be used in any orientation, even upside down.
Pressure Indicator
- Dial Gauge has an easy to read, color coated display for at-a-
glance pressure check in psi and bar.
Purge Button

Mouthpiece
– High quality silicone mouthpiece.
Check Valve Refill Port

SCUBA cylinders, with the same safety features. The cylinder should be inspected
annually and hydrostatically tested every 5 years.
