  • Page 10 Aviation CAFS 50 Replacing the pressure bottle A compressed air cylinder with 6.8 Liter volume serves as propellant. It needs to be filled with a suitable compressor; the maximum pressure of 300 bar must not be exceeded. Close the valve completely by turning it clockwise.

    Aviation CAFS 50 Applying the system Pull the safety cotter and remove the cap Open the valve fully. A howling indicates pressure build up in the vessel. The pressure gauge shows the filling status of the compressed air cylinder. Take the jet gun from its holder and uncurl the hose.
  • Page 12: Optional Jet Gun

    Aviation CAFS 50 Optional jet gun Every Aviation-CAFS system can be optionally equipped with a multifunctional jet gun. Range and flow rate are variable by stepless actuation. This increases efficiency and duration significantly when fighting small fires. A foldable safety catch prevents accidental actuation.
