(1) Quick-connect fittings require a single action to connect: Push the coupler firmly over the plug to
engage.

Emergency Breathing Hose
(1) Inspect the elbow connection to the G1 First Stage Regulator as
well as the hose connection to the elbow. Ensure that the hose is
properly secured.
(2) Inspect the dust cover. Ensure that the cover is securely attached
to the male and female quick-connect fittings.
(3) Ensure that the emergency breathing hose is coiled in the pouch
such that it is not twisted. Position the manifold end of the hose
toward the flap opening to ensure that it is accessible in an emer-
gency breathing situation.
