Don't forget to open the air bleed on the inlet port on the engine. This will bleed the line of air as you charge the line, so you don't cavate the pump. 32 years as a firefighter/driver.
oooow you forget the MOST IMPORTANT step, FIRST check if it is depressurized. The stem should be inspected and cleaned each time. This is a dangerous video! Please read the Johnson Controls/Sentry manual!
This only works if the victim holds his arms at his sides. It slides off as soon as the victim goes limp. It’s not practical for movement over more than a short distance. (Bonafides: 30yr firefighter, 10yr training officer, 20yr tactical medic)
I remember first day of hose skills before I learned to stand on roll and kick to tighten my assistant chief came and punched the middle out when I said I though it was tight lol. Then he showed me the heel trick lol.
The high pressure hose supplies air directly to the tank. Scbas have 2 air regulators. The first one is on the side of the pack and reduces the air to only a couple hundred psi, this air feeds the regulator that attaches to the face piece. The pressure from the high pressure hose on this ric pack would be too much for the face piece regulator, which is why you would use the low pressure hose.
