About This Training Session
In about 20 minutes, this session will help you learn two
important lessons:
▸ How to don and manually start your
SCSR
▸ What it feels like to use your
SCSR
for an extended period
How to Practice with the
SR-T
Your trainer will supply you with an
SR-T
. Ordinarily, you would
start your
SCSR
by pulling the orange starter tag, causing the
breathing bag to inflate automatically. You will start the
SR-T
by
filling your breathing bag with lung power alone. Here’s how:
1 Put on the
SR-T
1
Empty your mouth of chewing gum, tobacco,
or anything else that could block your mouthpiece
or cause you to choke.
2
Loop the neck strap over your head. Make sure that
the
CSE
logo on the case is facing away from you, and
that the orange starter tag is next to your right hand.
3
Pull the starter tag, just as you would on your
SCSR
.
Your breathing bag will not inflate.
2 Start It
1
Grab the nose clamp attached to the mouthpiece,
and clamp your nose shut.
2
With the mouthpiece out of your mouth …
3
Inhale a deep breath.
4
Put the mouthpiece in your mouth.
5
Exhale into the mouthpiece to activate the oxygen-
producing chemical bed. Exhale hard enough to push
air into the breathing bag.
6
Repeat the cycle (Mouthpiece out. Inhale. Mouthpiece in.
Exhale.) three to six times, until the breathing bag fills.
7
Breathe normally. Don’t let any air leak between the
mouthpiece and your lips. You want to keep smoke and
toxic gases out of your lungs.
8
Tighten the neck strap to take the
SR-T
’s weight off the
mouthpiece and breathing hose. Not too tight — you’ll
still need to be able to raise your head.
