System Use
The system is now set-up and ready to be put to use
Use one FF to set cribbing under load to be lifted
Capture load at all times, Crib as you lift, NEVER rely solely on the airbags to support the load!!
NEVER stack more than 2 bags
System Use Lifting the load: Select the colored line that feeds the BOTTOM bag Turn the in-line valve to the ON position Press the + (plus) button to inflate Lift bag/ bags to the require height or 116psi max If utilizing 2 bags stagger lifting bottom bag and top
bag This creates more surface area contact, thus greater
stability
Lowering the Load
Ensure that the load is stable enough to be lowered
Lift slightly off the cribbing
Remove the first level of cribbing and continue
removing as the load is slowly lowered to the
ground
Use common sense when placing and removing
cribbing and airbags, Watch Out for Pinch Points!!
Lower the load
• Use the – (minus) button on the controller to lower the airbags
• Remember to open in-line valves if you have them closed
• Lower the top bag first- then the bottom bag
Returning the System to ‘ready’
Once the airbags are drained and no longer needed, close the SCBA
cylinder
Bleed remaining air from the system with the + or – buttons
Disconnect the lines, controller and regulator
Tightly coil airlines
Replace all equipment in the grey toolbox
Return airbags to the original position on Engine 71
