11. Airbag System Set-up Attach working lines to control valve, use the “T” if 3rd line is needed

12. Airbag System Set-up • Attach working lines to Airbags • Gather cribbing and plywood protectors • Place Airbags in desired position • Clear your work area

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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!!

16. 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

17. 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
