(5) Locate the manifold end of the emergency breathing hose and remove it from the receiver's
pouch.
(6) Connect the donor's and receiver's manifold blocks using a male and female quick-connect
fitting with a single action.
NOTE: Each manifold has both male and female quick-connect fittings to either supply or receive air.
(7) Check that the hose is properly routed and not tangled with any other part of the apparatus (for
example neck strap, chest strap, etc.).
(8) Check for full engagement by pulling on the quick-connect to ensure that the female socket does
not separate from the male plug.
(9) Upon reaching a safe, non-toxic atmosphere, a staging area or after performing other egress
procedures, uncouple the receiver's hose at the quick-connect.
(10) Replace the dust cap on the manifold fittings.
WARNING!
The receiver's facepiece or regulator must be removed upon disconnection from the donor's air
supply. Misuse can result in serious injury or death from suffocation.
