TITAN SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS: INSPECTION, TESTING,

CLEANING AND SANITIZING

DAILY INSPECTION: Titan SCBA's shall be visually inspected at the beginning of

each duty day and after each use. After completing the inspection, initial and note the

air cylinder pressure on the appropriate Form-20.

BACKPACK HARNESS AND FRAME: Assure that the air cylinder is properly seured

and the stainless air cylinder strap and latching mechanism are working properly. In-

spect the backpack frame for bends, breaks and cracks. Check the harness assembly

for discoloration, excessive wear or fraying, cuts or damaged stitching. Check all buck-

les for damage or corrosion. All straps should be stored fully extended to allow for rapid

donning. Change batteries if low battery amber LED light indicates a low battery condi-

tion.

AIR CYLINDERS: Check air cylinder pressure; change the air cylinder if the pressure

is below 4000 psi. Inspect the exterior of the cylinder for dents, gouges, or cuts which

have penetrated and caused separation of the composite over-wrap. Check for evidence

of exposure to high temperature, such as darkened or blistered paint, or charred compo

site over-wrap. The cylinder valve should also be

age.

FIRST STAGE REGULATOR CONNECTION: Check hand wheel for a snug connec-

tion to the air cylinder valve. The high pressure hose should show no signs of separa

tion.

PRESSURE HOSES: Inspect all rubber hoses for cracking, obvious physical damage,

and separation at the connections. Check hoses for secure attachment to the frame

at the top of the backpack. Inspect the braided stainless air line for separation at the cou

plings, fraying and kinks. The quick connect fitting on the intermediate pressure hose

should be properly connected.

SECOND STAGE REGULATOR: Fully depress the shutoff button on the second stage

regulator and check that the red bypass knob is in the closed position. Inspect for cracks

or damage to the regulator housing Check for dirt or debris in the air outlet port and

cracks in the screen and grill. Dirt and debris can be cleared by opening the air cylinder

valve and the bypass valve with the outlet port facing down. Check both gray release

buttons for proper operation and good spring tension. Assure HUD display lights are

fully visible.
