Page 3: Introduction
This operation manual should be thoroughly reviewed and understood prior to initial use of the unit. If you are new to FSI® Shelters/Decon Showers, for your own comfort and safety, we strongly recommend you obtain handling and operation experience before assuming command of the unit. Your FSI® authorized distributor will be pleased to advise and assist you. -

When used in a hazmat incident, FSI units may come in contact with substances ‘hazardous to health’. Should this happen, they should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination of personnel and any possible cross contamination of equipment etc. - Page 5 PNEUMATIC DAT SERIES SHOWERS AND SHELTERS ATTENTION: Hot air expands and cold air compresses and so the weather impacts the air berms of your DAT series product in use. COLD WEATHER USE: Recommended for use in temperatures to -30 C (-22 F)

To deflate the unit an inflation/deflation valve is so equipped to release the air in the structure via a quarter turn ‘push in’ stem, allowing the FSI® shower/shelter to deflate. Use the supplied inflator/deflator to ’suck’ all air out of the unit until flat to the naked eye. The unit can then be carefully folded, as it was received, and packed into the carry sleeve/bag supplied for safe transportation and storage. -

However, under certain circumstances the potential exists for issues to occur; and their identification and possible rectification are as listed below: INFLATABLE BERM LEAKS: Identified by the FSI unit collapsing with time. A “hissing” sound might be heard if leak is severe. - Page 13 TO FIND A LEAK: Listen for “hissing” sound of air escaping. Check likely sources of leaks, such as all valves. Check overpressure valve and both high and low pressure air inflation valves for the sound of escaping air. Remove closure cap and check that the low pressure infla- tion/deflation valve is closed and not leaking.
