● Open the cylinder valve (counterclockwise) slowly, but fully, and
breathe normally.
● Disconnect the hose of the independent air supply from the male
coupling of the airline hose connection. Breathe normally and
immediately leave the hazardous area by the shortest and safest
route.
The remaining duration begins from the time of opening the cylinder
valve and disconnecting the independent air supply. The time
required to allow the wearer to escape to a safe area must be within
the remaining air capacity (volume) of the cylinder taking into
account the breathing rate of the wearer.
● Use of the RIC UAC should be by trained and competent personnel
only.
● The RIC UAC must only be used to recharge a cylinder in emergency
situations as defined in NFPA 1981.
● The RIC UAC filling hose is a component of the NFPA 1981
certification. Only use a filling hose which has been certified to NFPA
1981 for use in immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)
atmospheres.
● Can not use the RIC UAC connection for second person (EBSS).
● Can not use the RIC UAC to transfer air from one compressed-air
breathing apparatus to another.
● Do not allow oil, grease or other contaminants to contact the RIC UAC
connection.
● Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the RIC UAC connection.
● Caution: The secondary air supply pressure to the RIC UAC must not
exceed maximum rated working pressure of the cylinder(s) being filled.
● Caution: If the pressure relief valve of the RIC UAC is activated, the
SCBA must be returned to the nearest Dräger branch or agent.
● Caution: If a leak is detected while refilling in a contaminated or
oxygen-deficient gaseous atmosphere, stop refilling and immediately
leave the hazardous area.

Safety Warning: Use of an Emergency Breathing Support System
(EBSS) must comply with NIOSH and NFPA 1981 requirements.

● EBSS may not be engaged or activated in donor mode after the donor end-
of-service-time-indicator (EOSTI) has activated.
● Users must be fully trained in the operation of EBSS in accordance
with a training program conforming to the requirements of NFPA
Standards 1404, Fire Service Respiratory Protection Training and
1500, Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program.
● Simultaneous connection of more than two users, one donor, and one
receiver, is not permitted.
The time required to allow the wearers to escape to a safe area must
be within the remaining air capacity (volume) of the cylinder taking
into account the breathing rate of the wearers.
