14.0 MAINTENANCE OF AIR LIFTING BAG INSPECTION in accordance with NFPA 1936 Chapter 6

Scope of Work - Inspection and maintenance of air bag

INSPECTION.

a. While the lift bag is still wet with the cleaning solution, inflate to 30 psi and check for air bubbles denoting a leak(s) including system quick connect safety couplings. Except for air leakage from between the air inlet fitting and the male nipple, replace rather than attempt to repair a leaking lift bag. If air leakage is detected from around the male nipple threads, proceed as follows:

i. Deflate the lift bag.

ii. Disconnect the quick connect safety coupling from the lift bag male nipple.

iii. Unscrew the lift bag left-handed male nipple by inserting a 3/16” hex key into the hex socket located in the air inlet hole of the fitting and rotating it clockwise. Be sure to hold the air bag over the inlet fitting stationary.

iv. Clean the interfacing threads and inspect the male nipple for visual damage. If damaged, discard. If not damaged, install back into the inlet fitting by turning it counterclockwise. The nipple is to be torqued to 84 in.*lbs (7 ft.*lbs).

v. Reconnect the lift bag to an air source, re-inflate to 30 psi and recheck for air leaks. If none are found, deflate the lift bag, disconnect the quick connect coupling and install the tethered protective cap over the male nipple in preparation for storage.

b. After a lift bag is clean and dry, all surfaces should be thoroughly inspected for cuts, abrasion, air bubbles and bulges (ply separation), and other similar damage.

c. Remove all debris from the surface. Minor surface cuts and abrasion can be repaired with rubber cement and should not be considered a problem unless they are deep enough to expose the Kevlar reinforcement layer.

d. Inspect hose assemblies for cuts, cracks, crimps and brittleness. Inspect the hose quick connect safety coupling and nipple for secureness of attachment and burrs, nicks, corrosion and other similar damage that would prevent a leak proof interconnection. Install a G2 safety inline relief valve onto each hose end and turn the shut off knob cw(off). Apply 30 psi to the system and use a soapy water cleaning solution to check for air leaks (bubbles) around the quick connect safety couplings. Replace the couplings if bubbles are detected.

e. Refer to the separate instruction manuals provided with the G2 pressure regulator and G2 controllers to inspect these components.

f. If during the last three (3) months the MAXIFORCE® G2 Air Lifting Bag System and accessories have not been used for training or actual operational functions, they should be field tested to ensure they do not leak and are fully operational in preparation for their next use.

15.0 MAINTENANCE OF PPE INSPECTION in accordance with NFPA 1851 Chapter 6

15.4 The findings of the advanced inspection shall be documented.

15.5 The advanced inspection shall include, at a minimum, the inspections specified in

15.1
