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
