To store the respirator on a wall
If a wall storage bracket is used to store the SCBA, follow the instructions of the bracket manufacturer for
mounting as well as for placing arms through the shoulder straps and freeing the respirator from the bracket.
To store the respirator in a vehicle
The method of storage of a respirator in a vehicle must minimize the possibility of injury to persons in or near the
vehicle while it is in motion, especially during rapid deceleration or acceleration, sharp turns, or a collision.
When storing or transporting an SCBA, its spare components, or related equipment within a vehicle, use one of
the following methods to secure the items:
•
a positive mechanical means designed to hold the item in its stowed position
•
in a compartment with a positive latching door, or
•
in a closed container suitable to transport and contain the SCBA and/or its spare components and associated
equipment
If a vehicle mounting bracket is used to store the SCBA in a vehicle, follow the instructions of the bracket
manufacturer for mounting as well as for placing arms through the shoulder straps and freeing the respirator
from the bracket.
