Preparing and maintaining the
saver
CF
The tasks in this section must be carried out to prepare and maintain the
saver
CF in a ready-for-use condition.
4.1 Maintenance periods
4.1.1 Daily checks
It is essential that escape apparatus is ready for use at all times, and Dräger therefore recommend a daily check. If the customer’s
on-site risk assessment concludes that less regular checks are acceptable, this can be extended to a maximum of one month. It is the
customer’s responsibility to ensure that the equipment is ready for use at all times.
● Check that the pointer of the cylinder pressure gauge is inside the green area.
● Check the anti-tamper tag(s) on the lid of the bag (Fig 3).
If the pressure gauge is in the red area or if an anti-tamper tag is broken, inform trained service personnel or Dräger immediately.
4.1.2 Maintenance table
Service and test the breathing apparatus, including out-of-use apparatus, in accordance with the maintenance table. Record all service
details and testing.
Additional inspection and testing may be required in the country of use to ensure compliance with national regulations.

Notes
Dräger recommendations
1 These maintenance tasks may only be carried out by Dräger or trained service personnel. Details of the tasks are contained in the
technical manual which is issued to service personnel that have attended a relevant Dräger maintenance course.
4.3 Cleaning and disinfecting
!
CAUTION
Cleaning agents and disinfectants listed below are not
manufactured by Dräger and have been reviewed only for
compatibility when used to clean or disinfect the subject
Dräger product(s). Read and comply with all safety
precautions provided by the manufacturers of such agents
and disinfectants.
Do not exceed 30 °C for washing, disinfecting and rinsing
solutions. Do not exceed 60 °C for drying, and remove
components from the drying facility immediately when dry.
Drying time in a heated dryer must not exceed 30 minutes.
Do not immerse pneumatic or electronic components in
cleaning solutions or water.
If water is trapped and then freezes inside the pneumatic
system of the breathing apparatus operation will be
impaired. Prevent any liquid from entering, and thoroughly
dry the breathing apparatus after cleaning to prevent this
from occurring.
Recommended cleaning and disinfecting materials
:
● Cleaning agents – Sekusept (concentration: 0.5 % – 1 %) or
Safetywash (concentration: 0.7 %)
● Disinfecting agents – Incidin Rapid (concentration: 1.5 %) or
Safetywash (concentration: 20 %; meets the requirements of
EN 13727:2012 as a bacterial disinfectant)
● Use only or clean lint-free cloths.
1. Prepare cleaning solution as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Clean the breathing apparatus manually using a cloth
moistened with cleaning solution to remove excess dirt.
2. Prepare disinfecting solution as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Apply to all internal and external surfaces, ensuring that all
surfaces remain visibly wet for 15 minutes.
3. Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water to remove
all cleaning and disinfecting agents.
4. Dry all components using a dry cloth, in a heated dryer or in air.
5. Contact service personnel or Dräger if disassembly of
pneumatic or electronic components is required.
5 Troubleshooting
There is no user troubleshooting on the
saver
CF. Contact
trained service personnel or Dräger to report any issues with the
product.
6 Storage
Store the equipment between -15 °C and +25 °C. Ensure that the
environment is dry, free from dust and dirt, and does not subject
the equipment to wear or damage due to abrasion. Do not store
the equipment in direct sunlight. Note also the following:
● Extend the neck strap and, if fitted, the waist belt. On the hard-
case carrying bag, the neck strap can be fed into the bag at the
front and rear slots to tidy the strap.
● Fix the apparatus securely to any raised mounting point to
prevent it from falling.
● Contact Dräger for suitable storage cabinets and wall mounting
kits.
7 Disposal
When required, dispose of the
saver
CF in accordance with
national or local regulations for waste disposal.

4.2 Maintenance tasks
4.2.1 Visual inspection
Carry out a visual inspection, checking the full breathing apparatus
including all component parts and accessories. Check that the
equipment is clean and undamaged, paying particular attention to
pneumatic components, hoses and connectors. Typical signs of
damage that may affect the operation of the breathing apparatus
include impact, abrasion, cutting, corrosion and discoloration. Report
dirty or damaged equipment to trained service personnel or Dräger,
and do not use until faults are rectified and the product is cleaned.
4.2.2 Air cylinder charging
i
i
NOTICE
The charging procedure in this section describes recharging
a cylinder that has been fully discharged during use of the
saver
CF. If during a check the cylinder pressure gauge is
found to be in the red area, do not use this procedure and
inform trained service personnel or Dräger immediately.
!
WARNING
Air quality for compressed-air cylinders shall meet the
requirements for breathing air according to EN12021.
● The charging connector is a G5/8 connector as per EN 144-2.
● Refer also to the instructions supplied with the cylinder and the
charging unit for recharging the cylinder.
● Only charge compressed-air cylinders which:
○ Conform to national standards.
○ Feature the original manufacturer’s test date and test mark.
○ Have not exceeded the test date indicated on the cylinder
by the last testing station.
○ Are not damaged.
● Dräger recommend a charge rate of 27 bar/minute (rapid charging
will increase the temperature resulting in an incomplete charge).
● To prevent overcharging of the cylinder, Dräger recommend
using a pressure-limiting device on the charging compressor.
1. If the carrying bag is closed, open the lid and remove the hood
from the bag.
2. Remove the air cylinder as follows:
○ Soft-case carrying bag: release the Velcro strap and
carefully remove the cylinder.
○ Hard-case carrying bag: remove the screws from the
carrying bag body (Fig 5) (5 mm hexagon key and a 10 mm
socket required), fully open the carrying bag body and then
carefully remove the cylinder. Remove the lid from the slot
on the bag.
3. Using the probe (Fig 6, Item 1) (Dräger part no. 3310488),
press the plunger down and insert the locking clip (Fig 6,
Item 2).
4. Remove the protection cap from the charging port and connect
the charging adaptor (Fig 7).
5. Recharge to the rated working pressure of the cylinder
(200 bar).
i
i
NOTICE
Compression of cylinder air can cause a small temperature
increase during refilling, resulting in an incomplete charge.
If necessary, top-up the cylinder when it cools.
As charging commences, the whistle will sound briefly until
the cylinder pressure reaches approximately 10 bar.
6. When the cylinder is fully charged, vent pressure from the
charging hose and then remove the charging adaptor from the
valve.
7. Refit the air cylinder as follows:
○ Soft-case carrying bag:
i. Fully insert the cylinder into the carrying bag.
ii. Fit the pressure gauge shroud into the cut-out section
in the side of the bag.
iii. Connect the Velcro strap around the cylinder.
○ Hard-case carrying bag:
i. Place the cylinder on the fully open case (Fig 8) and fit
the neck strap as shown.
ii. Close the carrying bag body, ensuring that the pressure
gauge shroud remains in its holder.
iii. Fit the securing screws (5 mm hexagon key and a
10 mm socket required). Dräger recommend a torque
of 2 Nm (1.5 lbf ft). The nylon in the locknut must exhibit
an interference with screw threads – if interference is
not felt, replace with a new M6 self-locking nut.
iv. Refit the lid into the slot on the bag.
i
i
NOTICE
Route the rubber hose in such a way that the bend radius
is not too acute and the hose is not stretched, compressed
or twisted.
8. Carefully roll up the escape hood, ensuring that the visor is
not creased or folded, and fit the hood into the carrying bag
(Fig 9).
9. Seal the lid along the Velcro fastening strip leaving sufficient
opening to insert a hand and, taking care not to detach the
locking clip from the cylinder valve, connect the sprung-gate
clip (Fig 1, Item 2) to the D-ring (Fig 1, Item 1).
10. Fit the anti-tamper tag(s) and close the lid (Fig 3).
