If  a  Scuba  air  compressor 

is  available,  then  the  Filling 

Whip  Adapter  shown  below 

would  be  the  preferred 

method of filling the SBA.  The 

330-FA52-AA  Filling  Whip 

Adapter  (Fig  8),  is  attached 

to  the  SBA  in  the  same 

manner  described  earlier 

for  the  Transfiller.    Turn  the 

SBA’s Valve Handwheel fully 

counter-clockwise to open it.

Attach  a  Scuba  Yoke  Valve 

Filling Whip on the other end of 

the  Filling  Whip  Adapter.    The 

Valve  and  Bleed  Screw  on  the 

Scuba  Filling  Whip  are  used  in 

the  same  manner  as  the  Tank 

Valve  and  Bleed  Collar  on  the 

Transfiller  procedure  describing 

in this manual earlier. Remember 

that the working pressure of the 

SBA’s  cylinder  is  3000  psi  (207 

Bar).  DO NOT OVERFILL THE 

SBA CYLINDER.  Allow the SBA 

cylinder  to  cool  to  room  tem-

perature to get the final pressure 

reading  on  the  SBA’s  HP  Port 

Pressure Gauge.
