TASK 12-14-35-600-001-A
Servicing of the Oxygen-Replenishing


WARNING: KEEP ALL HYDROCARBONS (FUELS, LUBRICANTS, ETC.) AWAY FROM ALL SOURCE OF OXYGEN. OXYGEN BECOMES EXPLOSIVE WHEN IT TOUCHES HYDROCARBONS.
WARNING: CLEAN THE TOOLS AND MAKE SURE YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF THE OXYGEN SYSTEM.
WARNING: OBEY THESE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE:
  • CAREFULLY OBEY THE REPLENISHING INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE INSTRUCTIONS, YOU CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION.
  • PREVENT ALL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES NEARER THAN 5 M (16.4 FT) TO THE WORKING AREA OF THE AIRCRAFT.
  • STOP ALL REFUELING, ALL REPAIRS ON FUEL AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS, AND ALL PROCEDURES THAT USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SUCH AS CLEANING AND DE-ICING MATERIALS.
  • PUT A WARNING NOTICE IN THE COCKPIT, THE WORK AREA AND THE CABIN TO TELL PERSONS NOT TO OPERATE ELECTRICAL SWITCHES DURING THE OXYGEN FILLING PROCEDURE.
  • TELL ALL PERSONS IN THE AIRCRAFT THAT THE OXYGEN FILLING PROCEDURE IS IN PROGRESS.
  • IF YOU THINK THAT A THUNDERSTORM WILL OCCUR, IMMEDIATELY STOP ALL OXYGEN FILLING OPERATIONS.
WARNING: BEFORE YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT THE OXYGEN GROUND FILLING EQUIPMENT IS ELECTRICALLY BONDED TO THE AIRCRAFT. IF THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT CORRECTLY BONDED, AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE CAN OCCUR WHICH CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
CAUTION: BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON OR NEAR THE AIR-CONDITIONING DUCTS. THE DUCTS ARE MADE OF THIN MATERIAL AND YOU CAN EASILY BREAK THEM.
