necessary to disconnect this lead from the auxiliary
microphone jack so that the adapter cord from the oxygen
mask microphone can be plugged into the jack). A switch
is incorporated on the left hand control wheel to operate
the microphone.
A remote shutoff valve control, located adjacent to the pilot's oxygen
outlet, is used to shut off the supply of oxygen to the system when not in
use. The control is mechanically connected to the shutoff valve at the
cylinder. With the exception of the shutoff function, the system is com ­
pletely automatic and requires no manual regulation for change of alti­
tude.
The oxygen cylinder, when fully charged, contains approximately 48
cubic feet of oxygen, under a pressure of 1800 psi at 70°F (21°C). Filling
pressures will vary, however, due to the ambient temperature in the filling
area, and because of the temperature rise resulting from compression of
the oxygen. Because of this, merely filling to 1800 psi will not result in a
properly filled cylinder. Fill to the pressures indicated in figure 1 for
ambient temperature.

WARNING
I
Oil, grease or other lubricants in contact with oxygen
create a serious fire hazard, and such contact must be
avoided when handling oxygen equipment.
