QUICK-FILL SYSTEM OPERATION
• Do not connect a Quick-Fill System equipped Low
Pressure SCBA to an unregulated secondary air
source with a pressure greater than 2216psig. The
Quick-Fill System equipped low pressure air mask
i
s rated for a maximum working pressure of
2
216psig. As an additional safety feature, the SCBA
h
as a pressure relief valve which automatically
vents at 2525psig.
• Do not connect a High Pressure SCBA to a sec-
ondary air source with a pressure greater than
4500psig. The high pressure air mask is rated for a
maximum working pressure of 4500psig.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING QUICK-FILL SYSTEM
1. The Quick-Fill System can only be used to fill
approved SCBA cylinders.
2. The Quick-Fill System is not to be used as a "Buddy
Breather" such that two (2) users are sharing the air
supplied by one (1) SCBA cylinder simultaneously
doing so will void NIOSH approval.
3. The user is responsible for the air source, which must
meet the requirements of Compressed Gas
Association Specification ANSI/G-7.1, Quality
Verification Level (Grade) D Gaseous Air or better, with
a moisture dew point of not greater than -65°F
(24ppm water vapor, normal). Pressures at the inlet of
the Quick-Fill System hose must not exceed that of
the SCBA (2216psig or 4500psig).
4. Using the 3000psi URC Assembly to fill cylinders, the
cylinder can only be filled to 2216psig. If the pressure
exceeds 2216psig a relief valve in the URC Assembly
will vent at approximately 2525psig or as low as
2400psig. A 3000psig cylinder can only be filled to
3000psig by using a secondary air source; the 3000psi
URC Assembly cannot be used for filling a 3000psig
cylinder
.
5. The user also is responsible for connecting the Quick-
Fill hose to an appropriate secondary air source.
6.
The cylinder must be inspected for damage before
charging.
7. If filling cylinders in fr
esh air using the Quick-Fill
System topping off the cylinder is recommended after
the cylinder has cooled from initial fill. Topping off a
cylinder after it has cooled will ensure proper service
time.
FILLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUICK-FILL SYSTEM
1. To connect the Quick-Fill System hose.
a. Push the female fitting on the male fitting until it
snaps in place. Pull on the hose to be sure the fit-
ting snapped into place.
b
.Turn the air source on.
c
. The following components are available for con-
n
ecting to a secondary air source.
If there are leaks from either female fitting, or along
the hose, depressurize the hose and cor
r
ect the prob
-
lem. Such leakage can result in increased fill time.
2. T
o attach the Quick-Fill System hose to the SCBA.
a. Remove the rubber dust cap from the male inlet fit-
ting on the SCBA. Be sur
e that the cylinder valve is
fully opened.
b.Remove the rubber dust cap from the female fitting
on the Quick-Fill System hose.
c.
Push the female fitting on the male fitting until it
snaps in place. Pull on the hose to be sure the fit-
ting snapped into place. Transfilling begins when
the female fitting is snapped on the SCBA male fit
-
ting.
