The BACKUP needs to be opened, aired out and newly packed every 12 months. The packing
needs to be recorded in the service record of the rescue system. The periodic check-over of the
rescue system needs to be executed every 24 months and recorded in the service record. The
required packing interval can be shortened when under extreme environmental influences like
moisture, sand, water, salt or other factors.
The check-over and packing may only be handled by the manufacturer or authorized compe-
tence centers.
