REMOVING THE APPARATUS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR MSA SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS CYLINDERS
Breathing apparatus cylinders should be fully recharged
as soon as practicable after use. Cylinders should not be
stored partially charged for two reasons:
1. If used partially charged, the duration of the apparatus
is reduced.
2. The pressure relief device is only designed to protect
a fully charged cylinder from the effects of a fire.
For maximum safety, the cylinders should be stored full or
at a pressure above ambient but less than 100psig. Prior
to recharged, cylinders must be examined externally for
evidence of high heat exposure, corrosion, or other evi-
dence of significant damage.
Additional information of value when performing external
and internal inspections of cylinders may be found in the
latest editions of CGA Publication C-6: "Standards for
Visual Inspection of Steel Compressed Gas Cylinders",
CGA Publication C-6.1: "Standards for Visual Inspection
of High Pressure Aluminum Compressed Gas Cylinders",
and/or CGA Publication C-6.2: "Guidelines for Visual
inspection and Requalification of Fiber Reinforced High
Pressure Cylinders" available form the Compressed Gas
Association, Inc., 1725 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite
1004, Arlington, VA 22202-4102.
If there is any doubt about the suitability of the cylinder
for recharge, it should be returned to a certified hydrostat-
ic test facility for expert examination and testing.
Always check to be sure the retest date is within the pre-
scribed period and that the cylinder is properly labeled to
indicate its gaseous service. New labels are restricted
items which are not available except through certified
hydrostatic test facilities.
When replacing cylinder valves or after the retesting of
cylinders, make sure the proper cylinder valve, burst disc,
and O-ring are installed prior to cylinder recharging.
Establish the service pressure of the cylinder. All cylinders
shall be filled to the designated service pressure only (as
found on the DOT approval or stamping). For cylinders
manufactured under a U.S. DOT exemption (i.e., DOT-E-
#####), the exemption should be consulted and is avail-
able from the Associate Administrator for Hazardous
Materials Safety, Research and Special Programs
Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400
7th Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20590-0001.
Appropriately connect the cylinder to the filling system
and refill. Terminate the filling when the pressure reaches
the service pressure and allow the cylinder to cool to
room temperature. If necessary, top-off the cylinder such
that the service pressure is attained with the cylinder at a
temperature of 70°F. Close the valves on the cylinder and
the filling system and remove the cylinder. Apply a leak
solution to determine if there is any leakage between the
cylinder and the valve. If there is no leakage, the cylinder
is ready for use.
STORAGE
Do not store the apparatus or spare cylinders within or
near an area where the apparatus can or might be
exposed to any substances that will or might attack any
part of the apparatus, causing the apparatus NOT to per-
form as designed and approved.
Be careful not to drop cylinder or bump valve knob. An
unsecured cylinder can become an airborne projectile
under its own pressure if the valve is opened even
slightly. Failure to follow this precaution may result in
serious personal injury or death.
Do not store the NightFighter Heads-Up Display System
with the batteries installed. Do not store the apparatus
with an empty or partly filled cylinder. Always install a ful-
lycharged cylinder so that the apparatus is ready for use.
Complete Inspection and Cleaning and Disinfecting
Procedures outlined in this manual. Ensure the complete
apparatus is clean and dry. Ensure the facepiece head
harness adjustment straps are fully extended. Place the
complete apparatus in the storage case or suitable stor-
age location so it can be easily reached for emergency
use.
To store the NightFighter Heads-Up Display System com-
ponents, be sure that the unit is in the OFF (LED is not
illuminated) position. Remove the batteries to prevent bat-
tery corrosion. Store units in a cool, dry place.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
In continuous service, battery life will vary depending on
user conditions. The battery is not rechargeable.
Use only Duracell MN2400, Energizer E92, or Eveready
A92 AAA alkaline batteries in the TRANSMITTER. Use
of other batteries, or a combination of batteries from
different manufacturers, will affect performance of unit
and will void the Intrinsic Safety approval. Failure to
follow this warning can result in serious personal
injury or death.
1. Unfasten transmitter shroud strap(s).
2. Slide shroud off transmitter to expose battery door
screws.
