Roll out your length of fire Hose in the location where it is required.
Connect Male Tail End (Yellow) into the Female Coupling on the Fire Hose.
Connect Female Tail End (Red) into the other end of Fire Hose.
Connect the Regulator into the Compressed Air Cylinder: See Fig 1
Connect the other end of inflation hose into the Inflation Valve on the Hose Tail End by
screwing the adaptor into the inflation valve as shown in Fig 2, ensuring first that the
inflation valve is in the closed position by pushing the valve spring with your finger and
turning clockwise so the spring is in the out position: See Fig 3&4
Before you commence inflation ensure the fire hose is straight with no kinks along the
full length of it.
Gently turn the valve on the cylinder to inflate the fire hose, do not open too quickly or
open the cylinder valve fully. Continue inflating until the pressure relief valve (See fig 5)
starts to operate.
When the hose has reached its operational pressure you will hear the pressure relief
valve releasing air. When the hose is fully inflated carefully un-screw the hose fitting
anti-clockwise from the inflation valve on the hose tail end. Then make sure you place
the protective cap onto the inflation valve body, to avoid any potential damage to the
valve mechanism.
You can now start to feed out the fire hose to the incident location. The fire hose can be
twisted clockwise so it acts to assist with manoeuvring the hose to its intended position.
Dismantling The System
Remove the fire hose from the water.
Remove the protective cap from the inflation valve: See fig 3&4
Place finger into the inflation valve and gently push down and twist the valve spring anti
clockwise to deflate hose: See fig 6&7
When the hose is fully deflated, remove both tail ends from the fire hose and replace
the protective cap on the inflation valve to mitigate any damage to the valve.
