2. Inspect the anti-exposure coverall over its entire surface for obvious signs of damage. Repair minor damage within unit capabilities; otherwise contact the manufacturer for repair facilities. 3. Inspect the entry and leg slide fasteners for ease of operation over their entire length. Lubricate slide fasteners with paraffin. 4. Inflate the head pillow with low-pressure air. Inspect entire surface for leaks using leak detection compound. Leaks shall be repaired by the manufacturer. However, do not exceed the cost of replacing the suit. Deflate and stow head pillow. 5. Inspect the oral inflation tube over the entire length. Damaged tubes shall be repaired by the manufacturer, however do not exceed the cost of replacing the suit. 6. Inspect personal marker light. a. Inspect tube seal and expiration date. If the seal is broken or 3 years from date of manufacture will elapse within the next 180 days, replace the PML. 7. Inspect strobe light. a. Obvious defects. b. Check the security of the hook tape. Repair/Replace as required. c. Remove and discard old batteries IAW local procedures. d. Install new batteries. Do not over compress the gasket. e. Activate the light and measure the flash rate. It shall be between 50 to 70 flashes per minute. f. Replace lights that are broken or that do not flash at the desired rate g. Check lanyard security and install in equipment pocket 2. Inspect whistle. a. Inspect whistle for seam separation and cracks. Damaged or defective whistles shall be replaced. b. Blow whistle normally (regular exhalation); then with forced exhalation. If whistle fails to emit a highly audible sound, replace it c. Wipe whistle 8. Check lanyard security and install in equipment pocket. Anti-Exposure Coverall Page 3of 3 9. Hand-wash the suit as required in a solution of water and disinfectant/detergent. Rinse completely and hang dry. 10. Record date and inspection complied with on the anti-exposure suit maintenance log |
