Amkus GH2S2-XL User's Information Manual

Routine Maintenance for Couplings

Couplings should be kept free of dirt and contaminants.
They may be most easily cleaned by immersing in,
or scrubbing with, a petroleum based solvent such as
SAFE-SOL ® 140. Couplings should then be lubricated
with a non-water based lubricant such as WD-40 ® .
The rubber dust caps which are provided with the tools
should also be cleaned periodically. Be aware that
while the couplings may be clean, the dust caps will
accumulate dirt during use. Do not cover a clean cou-
pling with a dirty dust cap.

It is the responsibility of the user to keep maintenance
records for each component of the rescue system.
