IIPS Jor SAFE sndEFFICIENT OPERATIONS

Always wear personal protection when working with HurstRescue Bags. lf you are a firefighter or a member of arescue squad, wear a full set of approved turnout gear. lfyou are a contractor's employee, an industrial craftsman ormaintenance worker, wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves,and whatever other personal safety items provided by youremployer.

Correct transportation of Hurst Rescue Bags is important.Carry a smallAirbag under one arm with one hand support-ing the lower edge, and your other hand supporting the frontof the bag. Carry largerAirbags by gripping the oppositesides with both hands. Always keep bag nipple facing up sothat it will not be damaged if the Airbag is dropped.

When transporting a large, heavy Airbag from the storage

area to the worksite, have another penson help you carry it.Do NOT drag the Airbag; if the nipple is pointing down, it maybe damaged to the point where coupling to an air supplyhose is not possible.

Protect the lifting surface of a Hurst Rescue Bag with asquare of plywood when the Airbag will be used to lift anobject that has a temperature greater than 135o F. Heat inexcess of that temperature may damage the Airbag.

Working in the dark is dangerous, even when the task is assimple as positioning and inflating a Hurst Rescue Bag.Place floodlights or bright handlights in such a way thattheyprovide shadow-free illumination of the work area. Don'tdismiss the idea of using lights during daylight hours whenvisibility is decreased by deep shadows.

indicated in pounds per square inch (psig) andatmospheres (BAR) on the console's center gauge (6).

When the operator pulls back on the joystick of the rightside command console valve (7) airflows through the rightbag supply hose (8), past the quick-disconnect safetycoupling (9) and the bag nipple (10), and into the Airbag(11). A similar action occurs when the operator pulls backon the joystick of the left side command console valve.Non-adjustable, automatic relief valves that are built intothe controller release compressed air into the atmospherewhen pressure in an Airbag exceeds 118 psig (8 BAR).

Airbag supply hoses are field repairable; hose fittings andnipples are also field replaceable.

How lhe HURS7REICU E BAO gYSTEilt Wotlc

A steel or composite air cylinder (1) provides up to 300 cubicfeet of compressed air at pressures up to 4500 psig (310BAR).

A truck or train air brake system, a vehicle mounted, cartmounted, or skid-mounted cascade system, a wheeledstationary compressor, or an inflated truck tire can be usedas an alternate source of compressed air.

When the cylinder valve (2) is opened, a perma-set regulator(3) reduces the air pressure to approximately 180 psig (12.6BAR).

Compressed air at 180 psig fills the remainder of thecontrollerairsupply hose (4) and piping within the commandconsole (5) up to the console's valves. Inlet pressure is

How s ,ilURSTRETCU E nO gilgfEltll Worlc

A Hurst Rescue Bag has been placed under aload in preparation for making a lift. Threelayers of cribbing are in place under theAirbag so that maximum lift ing heightwil l beavailable.

A fully-deflated Airbag has very little airtrapped inside. Nonetheless, the trapped aiihas the shape of a square column. lt is thiscolumn of air that will lift the load when theAirbag is inflated.

When air flows into the Airbag, the column ofair within the bag becomes taller. Theinflating Airbag contacts the underside of theload, and lifting begins. Maximun liftingcapacity is possible for just one inch,however.

As the Airbag inflates, it takes on the double-dome shape that is characteristic of all highpressure Airbags. The column of air growstaller, but the cross-section of the columndecreases, and so does the Airbag's liftingcapacity.

As the Airbag nears full inflation, thecross-section of the column of airdiminishes considerably, and so doesthe lifting ability.

As the operator ofa Hurst Rescue BagSystem, you must know the maximumload that each Airbag can lift, themaximum inflation height, and themaximum load that can be lifted to thefull inflation height. Then you will be ableto correctly match a Hunst Rescue Bagto the lifting application. These figuresare included in the table that appears onthe inside back cover.

Increasing Lilling CapaciJy

Contrary to popular opinion, the lifting capacity of high pressureairbags is not increased by stacking one bag on top ofanotherand inflating both bags. A stack of two high pressure airbagshas only the lifting capacity of the smaller bag. Remember thatlifting capacity depends on the size of the column of air that isin contactwith the underside of the load. However, the liftingcapacity of high pressure airbags canbe increased by placingtwo bags side by side and inflating them simultaneously. In the

snd Lilring Heighlillustration below, two Hurst Rescue Bags have beenplaced side by side on support cribs. One bag is rated fora 26 ton lift, the other is rated for a 21 ton lift. Neither bagcan exert sufficient force to lift the 30-ton object, even fora short distance. When the bags are inflated together theywill have the potential to lift 47 tons and can now lift the 30ton load. Cribbing helps to maximize lifting height as wellas lifting force.

Increasing Lifiing Heighl

Lifting height can be increased by stacking twoHurst Rescue Bags. In the illustration at the left,a bag that has a maximum inflation height of 17inches has been centered on a bag that can liftto a maximum 20 inches. When fully inflated,the two bags will provide a maximum lift ofabout 37 inches.

A WARN]NOUnder no circumstances should more than twoHurst Rescue Bags be stacked in the mannershown below. The effect of stacking threeAirbags is like trying to balance three inflatedfootballs.

Lifiing Wilh One HursI Re*ue Bsg

Sweep broken glass, small metalparts, and other potentially-damagingdebris from the surface on which thebag will be placed. While HurstRescue Bags are tough, they are notcompletely damage-proof .

Spread a layer of sand, gravel, orother granular material when the bagmust be placed on an icy or oil-slicksurface. Lay down a solid base ofcribbing or a plywood panelwhen aHurst Rescue Bag must be used onsoft ground.

Construct a bag support crib under thelifting point of the load if the spacebetween the load and the surface beneaththe load is greater than 3 inches. Leavejust enough space for the deflated Airbag.

Make the top layer of the crib solid;otherwise the crib will collapse when theAirbag inflates to it's characteristicdouble-domeshape.

Safety cribs should be built on each sideof the Airbag support crib. The safetycribs minimize the distance the load willdrop in the event of air loss from the bagor failure of the Airbag's supply hose.

Center the Hurst Rescue Bag on thesupport crib with the nipple pointingaway lrom the load toward the left orr ight.

Be sure to position the Airbag so thecenter of the bag's lifting surface willalways be in contact with theunderside of the load. An Airbag thatis improperly positioned under a loadmay slip during inflation.

Lifiing Wilh One ltursl Rexue Bsg

Inflate the Airbag until the load islifted to the desired height. Thenincrease the height of the safetycribs until it is not possible to insertanother layer.

lf one or two rescuers are available,they can add to the satety cribs asthe Airbag inflates. "Lift an inch, criban inch" is the rule when using anysort of lifting device.

Deflate the Airbag slowly to allow theload to settle onto the safety cribs.

Remove the Airbag and the supportcrib if working space is neededdirectly under the lifting point.

A WARI{INO ASafety cribs are essential tor all lifting operations. Do not

under any circumstances work under a load that issupported only by an inflated Airbag.

Lifiing Wilh llnrc llurcI Re*ue Bags

lf two Hurst Rescue Bags will beused to gain lifting height, center thesmaller bag on the larger bag withthe nipples pointing away from theload and away from each other.Because of the skid-resistantsurfaces of the Airbags, it will benecessary to do the centering on theground or road rather than on theAirbag safety crib.

Position the two Hurst Rescue Bagson an Airbag safety crib. Rememberto make the top layer of cribbingsolid so the crib will not collaPsewhen the bottom Airbag inflates andtakes on the characteristic double'dome shape.

Build a safety crib on each side ofthe Airbag support crib. The safetycribs will minimize the distance thatthe load will drop in the event of airloss from one or both Airbags, orfailure of a hose line.

Lifiing Wilh llnto HurcI Re*ue Bags

Operate the Airbag Command Consolefrom a position to one side of the bagstack. Inflate the bottom Airbag until thetop Airbag firmly contacts the undersideof the load. Then fully inflate the topAirbag. lf additionallift is needed,continue to inflate the bottom Airbag untilthe load is at the desired height.lf sufficient personnel are available,cribbing can be added to the safety cribswhile the Airbags are inflating. In alimited personnel situation, cribbing canbe added to the safety cribs after the loadhas been lifted to the desired height. Theindividuals who are cribbing must do soin such a way that their hands and armswill not be trapped if the load suddenlyshifts or drops.

When the safety cribs are at thedesired height, slowly deflate the topAirbag and allow the load to settleonto the cribs. Remove the Airbagsand the support crib to create spaceif someone is required to workdirectly under the lifting point of theload.

Lilling Odd Shaped Obierl*s

Lifting Beqms qnd PipesSpecial Care should be taken when lifting a beam orpipe with a Hurst Rescue Bag. The maximum liftingforce of the Airbag cannot be employed when it takeson the shape of a saddle or pillow during inflation.Also, the steel cord or Kevlar reinforcement layer canbe damageil when it becomes a sling.

Position a plywood panel between the Airbag and theundercide of the load so that the weight of the load isdistributed over the Airbag's lifting surface as itinflates.

Lifiing o Cylindricql Obiect

Lifting a large-diameter cylindrical object such as atank with a single Hurst Rescue Bag is impossible. lfthe object is not firmly anchored, it will roll to one sideas soon as the Airbag starts to inflate and take on thecharacteristic doubledome shape.

Use two Hurst Rescue Bags to lift a cylindrical object,one under each side of the load. Operate theGommand Console valves in such a way thattheAirbags make a smooth, level lift.

Pushing wirh o HighPressure AirbogHurst Rescue Bags can be used to push or separate aswell ae lift. Pushing a solid object is usually not aproblem. But when the object has a thin skin' a highpressure Airbag can dimple and even tear the skin asthe bag inflates.

Position the Airbag against a strut, rib or other rigidstructural member. lf this is not possible, place a thicksquare of plywood between the base for the Airbag andthe object that must be moved to distribute pushingforces over a wider area.

Cleaning Hurrt Rexue BagsAfur Ilre

Hurst Rescue Bags should be cleaned aftereach use. Oil and grease make the Airbagsslippery and caked dirt can prevent thecoupling of hoses to the bags.

Hold the Airbag vertical with the nipplepointlng up. Shake the Airbag vigorouslyand tap it against your foot to rid the top andbottom surfaces of loose dirt.

While the Airbag is vertical, inspect thenipple. lf you see that it is plugged with dirt,insert a length of thin wire between the dirtplug and the nipple wall. Pullthe dirt fromthe nipple rather than push it into the Airbag.

Use a stiff-bristle brush to remove anythickaccumulations of dirt from between the conesthat make up the top and bottom surfaces ofthe Airbag. Be sure to brush in severaldirections. Do not use a sharp-pointed objectto remove caked dirt from between the cones.

When all of the caked dirt has been removed,pour a mild solution of dishwashing liquidand warm water onto the soiled areas.Remove any remaining dirt film with a stiff-bristle brush.

Rinse the Airbag thoroughly with cool, clearwater. A high velocity spray from a hosenozzle will usually remove any film of dirtand soap, although a final brushing underthe water spray may be necessary.

Stand the Airbag upright on edge with thenipple pointing up. Wipe the outside of thenipple with a clean rag. Allow the Airbag toair dry.

Do not place the airbag in a hose dryer, orsubject it to any form of artificial heat in anattemptto dry it more quickly.

Preventive MqintenqnceWhen Hurst Rescue Bags are properly cared for and correctly stored after use, there is little to do to keep them inpeak operating condition and ready for immediate use. Just follow this simple procedure every six months:

1) Wipe dust from each Airbag and nipple with a clean cloth.

2) With a bright light, carefully inspect both surfaces and all four edges of each Airbag. Look for abrasions, cuts,air bubbles, and bulges that may have been missed during the last inspection. Keep in mind that minorsurface damage is not a problem unless the underlying Airbag reinforcement layer is exposed.

3) Wipe down the command console, air supply hoses and accessories with a clean cloth.

4) Assemble the system components and inflate all of the Airbags to one half operating pressure 59 psig (4 BAR).You will have the opportunity to refresh your memory of the assembly procedures while at the same timeassuring that the system is fully operational. Check all of the components for air leaks.

5) Inspect each inflated Airbag for leaks, bulges, bubbles, cuts and abrasions that may have been missed whenthe Airbags were inspected after the last cleaning. lf you see what appears to be a serious defect, markthe area with chalk and contactthe manufacturer or distributor for advise.

Inspecling Hurst Rescue

When the Airbag is dry, thoroughly inspectallfour edges for air bubbles, cuts andabrasions that may have been hidden by theaccumulation of dirt. lf you see what appearsto be serious damage, markthe damaged areawith chalk. Remove the Airbag from serviceand callthe manufacturer or distributor foradvice.

lnspect the nipple for burrs and other damagethat may prevent coupling the Aurbag to anair supply hose. Replace the nipple ifneoessary.

P revenlive Ms i nJena nceThe care and maintenance of Hurst Rescue Bags involves more than simply cleaningthe Airbags after use. They should be inspected, properly stored, and periodically

maintained during extended storage periods.

Bogs After Cleoning Storing Hurst Rescue Bogslf the Airbags are to be stored flat in a truckcompartment, store them with the nipplefacing the compartment door. When theAirbags are removed for the next job, thenipples will not be dragged across thecompartment floor or snagged on the lip ofthe compartment door opening.

lf the Airbags must be stored on an edge in acabinet or truck compartment, be sure thatthe nipples are pointed up and toward thecompartment door. The next user will be ableto protect the nipple with one hand whileremoving the Airbag from the storage area.

CHEMTCMCOMPAJTBILIYThe following chemical compatibilty sheets applyto the Hurst Rescue Bags. The time parameters listed forexposure time for various chemicals will change according to the strength of the chemical, temperature and ageof the Rescue Bag. These ratings are based on the neoprene compound used to manufacture the Hurst RescueBag. Hurst Rescue Bags can be safely used in ambient temperatures of -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F. Foroperation at high temperatures the Rescue Bag must be protected and isolated from the heat source.

The following pages list some of the known chemicals and the reactions that can be expected when using HurstRescue Bags with or around these chemicals.

Contact with any chemicals in this category will not harm the l-{urst Rescue Bag. The Hurst RescueBag can be in contact with these chemicals for no longer than 12 hours.

Contact with any chemicals in this category may atfect certain properties of the Hurst Rescue Bag.The Hurst Rescue Bag can be kept in contact with these chemicals for a time period of no longer than6 hours.

Contact with any chemical in this category will undoubtedly atfect certain properties of the HurstRescue Bag. lf it is necessary to use the Rescue Bags around these chemicals, contact should belimited to the shortest possible time.

Contact with these chemicals will result in SEVERE damage to the Hurst Rescue Bag. DO NOTEXPOSE HURST RESCUE BAGS TO THESE CHEMICALS. Softening and possible total bag failure canresult even from short-term exposure.

After ANY exposure to chemicals, oils or corrosive fluids the Hurst Rescue Bags should be properly cleanedand checked as described previously in this operating manual. See Cleaning Hurst Rescue Bags After Use. lfafter cleaning the Hurst Rescue Bag(s) the surface seems soft, sticky or changed in any way, the Rescue Bag(s)should then be returned to the factory for inspection.
