(10) Briefly open cylinder valves and check for escaping air, retighten if
necessary.
(11) Tighten cylinder strap gently by pulling the free end.
Attention!
Do not overtighten the cylinder strap! Damage can occur when using
excessive force to close the tension clamp and the SCBA might not be
ready for use.
The final fastening tension will be achieved when closing the tension
clamp.
(12) Hinge tension clamp down until it catches.
(13) If push force/tension is too high during hinging of the tension clamp, re-
adjust the strap length at the tension clamp. If the strap tension is too low,
re-adjust the strap length at the tension clamp (
(14) Fasten end of the cylinder retaining strap onto Velcro strip.
(15) Check that compressed air cylinders are held securely, retighten if
necessary.
3.3.2. Pressure Reducer with
alphaCLICK 2
(1) If necessary, screw the
alphaCLICK 2
cylinder adaptor with a specific torque
of 20-30 Nm into the T-piece.
(2) Hinge cylinder separator (3) into a vertical position until it catches.
(3) Open tension clamp on cylinder strap and extend the strap (
(4) Push one compressed air cylinder through the cylinder retaining strap so
that the cylinder valve points to the T-piece, and lies on one of the outer
supports.
(5) Screw the cylinder valve onto the T-piece.
(6) Push a second compressed air cylinder through the cylinder retaining strap
so that the cylinder valve points to the T-piece, and lies on the outer support.
(7) Screw the second cylinder valve onto the T-piece.
When fitting the T-piece with
alphaCLICK 2
on the coupling of the
pressure reducer it may tip down.
In this case, support the pressure reducer with your hand.
(8) Align the T-piece with the
alphaCLICK 2
axially to the coupling and fit on the
alphaCLICK 2
coupling.
Attention!
Never push the coupling system together using excessive force.
