The Laerdal suction unit is a powerful and effective tool that can achieve a vacuum of almost 10 psi and has a flow rate of 30 liters per minute, exceeding international standards. The LSU device test determines if it is ready for use in 10 seconds by checking for blockages, vacuum efficiency, maximum vacuum level, and air leaks. The suction unit automatically charges to 80% within 3 hours when connected to an external power source. If it does not charge or notify of issues, the user replaceable rechargeable battery needs to be replaced by opening the blue rubber plug on the side of the unit and replacing the dead battery.
1) The document provides instructions for properly starting a Stihl chainsaw, including engaging the chain brake, starting outdoors at least 10 feet from fuel, and not drop starting which can cause loss of control.
2) There are two recommended starting methods - either starting the saw on the ground with the chain brake engaged, or holding the rear handle between the legs with the front gripped and chain brake engaged.
3) The process involves setting the choke, pulling the starter cord until it resists then giving a strong pull, taking the choke off and repeating until it starts on high idle to avoid clutch damage. Flooded engines should be dried before restarting on high idle only.
The SmartDock is a hands-free holder for self-contained breathing apparatus that uses inertia to keep air packs locked in place during vehicle deceleration or crashes. The SmartDock should just touch the top of air cylinders during normal use - contact maintenance if adjustment is needed. When riding in fire trucks, firefighters should wear gear, enter safely, store loose air packs in seat backs, buckle up, and wait for all-clear before exiting seats and tightening harnesses. Air packs should be gently rolled out of brackets to avoid damage, rather than pulled or yanked from steps.
There are two batteries in a SCBA that can cause issues - a 9V battery in the compass that powers the PASS device, and a 123 battery in the transducer that powers the heads up display. The transducer battery will blink more frequently when low. A repair tag was received about a battery issue, but the actual problem was a low battery light on the HUD that occurred when the SCBA got wet, compromising the electrical potting and causing a temporary fault that will clear once dried.
This document provides step-by-step instructions for properly cleaning a fire fighter's facepiece mask. It outlines 19 specific steps for disassembling, cleaning, sanitizing, rinsing, drying, and reassembling all components of the mask. This includes removing parts like the air klic, nozzle cover, and exhalation valve assembly. It emphasizes thoroughly cleaning folds and crevices, sanitizing the nosecup, and testing the reassembled mask for leaks before use. Following these cleaning instructions helps ensure masks are functioning properly to deliver breathable air during fires.
Frontline firefighters use several gauges on their self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to monitor air pressure. Mechanical gauges have an accuracy of ±5% of full scale as required by regulations. However, their readings can vary more based on viewing angle compared to the digital dashboard gauge, which has accuracy of ±50 psi at high pressures and even greater accuracy at lower pressures. The digital dashboard and LED display are the most accurate gauges, so firefighters should use them as benchmarks when multiple gauges show discrepancies of up to 450 psi, though mechanical gauges are still acceptable if within 5% tolerance.
OSHA regulations require self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) air cylinders to be maintained at a minimum of 90% of the manufacturer's recommended pressure level. Cylinders must be recharged when pressure falls below this level. Even with monthly inspections and testing of regulators and alarms, cylinder pressure naturally reduces over time due to small amounts of air usage. Rotating the air in cylinders annually helps ensure sufficient air remains available for emergency responders. Cylinders should not be stored with open valves, as this allows moisture and other contaminants to enter. All cylinder refills must be logged per OSHA requirements.
The document provides instructions for maintaining breathing air compressors used by firefighters. It discusses the importance of getting annual fresh air certificates for station compressors and ensuring the certificate is displayed. It also describes how to properly open and close the black plastic fill knobs on the cascade system to avoid damaging valves. The document emphasizes the need to drain the condensation muffler weekly to prevent backups, and to run the compressor for at least one hour each week to lubricate internal components and prevent costly repairs from condensation buildup.
The document provides instructions for cleaning different parts of a firefighter's self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). It details a multi-step process for cleaning the facepiece, including making a mild detergent solution, immersing and agitating the facepiece, rinsing, and disinfecting. Similar procedures are outlined for cleaning the second stage regulator and exterior surfaces of the SCBA, taking care not to allow water or cleaning solutions into the breathing system. Cylinders should remain attached to the first stage regulator when cleaning backpacks to prevent water and debris from entering the breathing system.
The document discusses an upgrade to second stage regulators on self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The new regulators have the same manual override and reset buttons in the same locations under a new exterior. The upgrade improves the seal between the regulator and facepiece mask, reducing slight air leakage when the hose is pulled forward. The manufacturer discovered this potential minimal leakage issue and developed the upgraded regulators to address it, while noting the original regulators remained safe and effective. The upgrade is being implemented on frontline SCBAs.
