With proper care and maintenance, your TUSA B.C.J. should provide years of
trouble-free service.
1. Rinse the B.C.J. thoroughly inside and out with fresh water after every use as
follows.
(a) Fill B.C.J.’s Bladder to approximately 1/4 full with clean, fresh water through
Inflator’s mouthpiece. (Manual Infration /Deflation button should be pressed.)
(b) Inflate B.C.J. by mouth and shake to distribute clean water around.
(c) Remove the Airway system by unscrewing bracket
counter clockwise. (Fig. 96)
(d) Pull the valve assembly away from the nut bracket.
(e) Hold the B.C.J. upside down and allow all water and
air to drain out of the nut bracket opening.
( f) The Airway system should be cleaned separately from the B.C.J. With the
inflation button depressed, flush with fresh water through the opening of the
shoulder dump (water should run out through the mouth piece.)
* During this procedure some residual water will remain in the inflation/deflation
head. To drain the water hold the Airway system upside down (Inflator side up/
Exhaust side down) and press the Auto inflation button. Water will then drain from
the inflation plug.
(g) Reinstall the Airway system. (Follow steps (d) & (c) in reverse.)
(h) Rinse the entire B.C.J. by dipping B.C.J. in tub of fresh water or flushing with
hose.
(i) Dry the B.C.J. in a shaded area out of direct sunlight. (B.C.J. should be
completely dry before storage.)
2. Do not store damp or while folded. Store slightly inflated in cool, dark, dry location.
