QUICK-FILL SYSTEM OPERATION
the SCBA will separate. A hiss or pop may be heard
as the fittings separate and the high-pressure air is
sealed off.
5. Immediately install the dust cover on the SCBA male
fitting.
6. The SCBA cylinder is ready for service if the cylinder
pressure gauge is on the corresponding color band.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
1. If you are transfilling in fresh air and the dust cover will
not stay on the SCBA male fitting because air is leak-
ing, correct the condition before using the SCBA.
2. If you are transfilling in a contaminated atmosphere
and the dust cover will not stay on the SCBA male fit-
ting because air is leaking:
a. Immediately reconnect the Quick-Fill System hose
to seal off the leak and return to fresh air.
b. If you cannot reconnect the hose, reach behind and
close the cylinder valve. Air pressure in the regulator
will drop, and the leak will slow down.
c. Quickly replace the protective dust cap on the
SCBA male regulator fitting. This will form a redun-
dant seal.
d. Open the cylinder valve and return to fresh air
immediately. The dust cover prevents dirt, water,
and debris from entering the fitting, and acts as a
redundant seal.
TRANSFILLING BETWEEN SCBA FROM MSA
(EMERGENCY BREATHING SYSTEM)
Note:
The SCBA with the higher pressure reading is the
donor. The SCBA with the lower pressure is the receiver.
Transfilling between users of SCBA should be performed
only during life-threatening emergencies, or simulated
training exercises. Both donor and receiver must return to
fresh air immediately following the procedure.
Do not transfill if the donor's NightFighter Heads-Up
Display System is flashing. Failure to follow this warn-
ing may result in shorter escape time to return to fresh
air, causing serious personal injury or death.
NIGHTFIGHTER HEADS-UP DISPLAY SYSTEM
RECEIVER PRESSURE READING
The NightFighter Heads-Up Display System Red LED
begins flashing to indicate that the pressure in the cylinder
has been reduced to 25% of its rated working pressure.
Remaining service time must be used for escape to fresh
air. If the donor's NightFighter Heads-Up Display System
Red LED begins flashing during transfilling, the donor
should disconnect and preserve his escape time.
1. If the donor's NightFighter Heads-Up Display System
is not flashing and you have sufficient air to transfill air
to a receiver, (greater than1000psig for Low Pressure
SCBA and greater than 2000psig for High Pressure
SCBA), follow these steps.
a. Remove the 3 foot emergency transfill hose from its
protective pouch.
b. Remove the rubber dust cover from both female fit-
tings on the Quick-Fill System hose assembly.
c. Remove the rubber dust cover from the male quick-
fill fitting.
d. Push the female fittings on to the male fittings until
they click in place. Pull on the hose to be sure it
snapped in place.
If serious leakage is noticed from either of the two
female fittings, or anywhere along the hose, discon-
nect the female fittings and return to fresh air immedi-
ately. Failure to follow this warning may result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
e. After approximately 30-60 seconds, pressure
between the SCBA cylinders will be equal.
f. Disconnect the Quick-Fill System hose from both
SCBA by pulling the gray sleeve back on both ends.
A hiss or pop may be heard as the fittings separate
and the high pressure air is sealed off.
g. Immediately install the dust cover on the quick-fill
male fitting. The dust cover prevents dirt, water, and
debris from entering the fitting, and acts as a redun-
dant seal.
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
1. If the dust cover will not stay on the SCBA or Quick-
Fill male fitting because air is leaking:
a. Immediately reconnect the Quick-Fill System hose
to seal off the leak and return to fresh air.
b. If you can not reconnect the hose, reach behind
and close the cylinder valve. Air pressure in the reg-
ulator will drop, and the leak will slow down.
c. Quickly replace the protective dust cap on the
SCBA male fitting. This will form a redundant seal.
d. Open the cylinder valve and return to fresh air
immediately.
2. Preparing the Quick-Fill System for Storage:
a. Press in on the center of the quick-disconnect dust
cap to release any pressure in the Quick-Fill System
hose.
b. Roll up the hose and place it in its protective pouch.
Note:
Only persons trained in MSA Maintenance are
authorized to repair or disassemble the Quick-Fill System.
If repairs are required, contact your nearest MSA office.
