UNPACKING FSI® SHOWERS/SHELTERS
To unpack FSI® shower/shelter and if a pneumatic unit, make ready for inflation
INFLATING FSI® SHOWERS/SHELTERS FOR USE
Allow a steady, clean flow of air to inflate the unit. It will take approx. 45 seconds to 5+
minutes to inflate the unit (size of unit dependent) from an SCBA cylinder, and slightly
longer if using a compressor or the electric inflator/deflator. Remove/disconnect inflat-
or/deflator once unit is fully inflated.
NOTE! Support roof of FSI shelter as it inflates! (help unit stand) . In deflation mode en-
sure the tie down ropes are used to assist the unit in returning to the ground by pulling
them toward each other allowing the unit to collapse into its' own footprint.
Undo carry bag/sleeve and remove unit. If no groundsheet
or tarp is readily available, the carry sleeve/bag fully
flattened out can be used as a partial emergency
groundsheet to protect the shower/shelter.
Ensure surface is flat and free of sharp objects, place
groundsheet / tarp on ground (FSI® offers as an option),
then unroll FSI® unit either onto groundsheet or onto
ground carefully.
NOTE! LIFT - Do not drag on ground!
Place FSI® unit to suit all site and incident requirements,
ensuring entry/exit doors are aligned in right direction.
On-scene coordinator must make these decisions.
Follow all instructions located above the fill
valves on every unit EXACTLY.
If using an SCBA cylinder and the
supplied black color high pressure fill
hose with locking clip and fitting please
review those instructions carefully and
follow them exactly.
Follow all instructions located above the fill valves on every
unit EXACTLY.
If using the supplied inflator deflator use in the manner as
shown herein following all instructions located on the berms
