WARNING:
the safety plug assembly from functioning properly in the event of fire
or exposure to extreme heat. This may cause the cylinder to rupture or
explode, possibly resulting in severe injury or death.
6. Due to the possibility of fire and exposure to extreme heat, the EBIS must
be stored either completely full or completely empty. If the system is exposed
to fire while partially filled, the cylinder wall may rupture before the internal
pressure becomes great enough to burst the safety plug assembly. For this
reason, Aqua Lung recommends that the cylinder be completely emptied and
the handwheel closed to prevent the entrance of moisture before storing the
system for an indefinite period.
7. Store the EBIS completely dry, in a clean equipment box or sealed inside a
plastic bag. When possible, avoid storing it where it may be exposed to extreme
heat or an electric motor, which produces ozone. Prolonged exposure to extreme
heat, ozone, chlorine and ultraviolet rays can cause premature degradation to
certain parts and must be prevented.
8. When transporting the EBIS, take the necessary precautions to ensure that
it is surrounded by a protective cushion to prevent undue shock or impact.
9. Do not use any type of solvent or petroleum based substances to clean or
lubricate any part of the system. Do not expose the system to aerosol spray, as
some aerosol propellants attack or degrade rubber and plastic.
DO NOT store the EBIS partially filled. Doing so may prevent
