If circumstances prevented cleaning of the EBS before transport, or if it became exposed to
wet or unclean conditions it must be subjected to the cleaning procedure described above
before being returned to storage.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
As with any equipment that may be called upon for assistance in an emergency, the readiness of the
equipment to perform as intended is crucial. Therefore it is extremely important that your organization
have and follow a plan that prescribes the frequency of inspection and servicing to ensure the EBS
condition has not been compromised such that its ability to perform is in jeopardy. Needs vary from
one organization to another and the proper interval for inspections is at the discretion of your safety
officer. However, at a minimum, the following should be performed.
At any time during the handling or observation of the EBS there is evidence of loss of pressure or
physical damage to the unit, it must be taken out of service and inspected by an authorized service
technician.
According to the composite cylinder manufacturer, the EBS cylinder must be inspected
by an authorized facility for compliance with ISO11623 at five year intervals from the certification date
appearing on the cylinder label.
Further the cylinder must be taken out of service if it has been exposed to a temperature greater than
176°C (350°F) or has received a scratch or scuff on the cylinder body with a depth greater than
0.127mm (0.005 inches).
Operational units
must be serviced at least annually. Service may include comprehensive inspection
and disassembly, cleaning and adjustment.
Disassembly of the EBS is to be done only by a technician that has received training
and authorization to service the EBS, using Zeagle or Huish Outdoors supplied parts only.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit without training and authorization. Such activity could lead to a
serious malfunction of the unit resulting in a loss of air delivery in a critical situation, possibly leading to
serious injury or death.
Training units
must be serviced at least annually, after not more than 200 uses or after any
observation of improper operation or physical damage to the EBS unit. If it is suspected that water or
other contaminants has entered the unit, it should be taken out of service and submitted for
maintenance. If there are any questions as to the need for maintenance, contact your distributor.
