WARM WEATHER USE:
Recommended for use in temperatures to +56 C (+132.8 F)
When temperatures during use are to exceed 30 degrees C (86 F) be
aware hot air expands and so manually reduce the air pressure in the
air berms or allow over pressure valves to activate. As the evening
shift arrives in continued use, and air temperature drops re-inflate
the unit as colder air causes internal air pressure to decrease.
AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF EACH SHIFT PRO-SAFE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGES AND RECOMMENDS THAT THE AIR PRESSURE
INTERNALLY BE CHECKED AND ADDRESSED AS ABOVE, AND THAT A
COMPLETE SYSTEMS CHECK OCCUR ON ALL ITEMS IN USE WITH THE
SHOWER OR SHELTER SYSTEM.
ATTENTION: When removing shelter from the carrying bag, ensure
there are no sharp objects or glass on the floor that might tear or
puncture the inflatable structure. Avoid dragging the
unit over rough surfaces. The use of a tarp/groundsheet
is strongly recommended for inexpensive protection
and maximum longevity of the floor and berms.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Shelters are inflated via the use of a compressed air source/electric
inflator/deflator and inflation time is approximately 45 seconds to 5+
minutes (size of unit dependent). Over-inflation of the structure is
designed to be prevented via the inclusion of a pressure relief valve fitted
to the unit. If using compressed air to inflate unit, an operator must
stand by at all times and immediately turn off compressed air source
when the pressure relief valve is activated as noted by the "hissing"
sound of escaping air. The structure has reinforced air inflated berms.
The structure is usually fitted with two external zipped doors, the first is
the entrance door, and the second is the exit door as determined by on-
scene coordinators.
