reaction chamber over the box which collects the tape. 
The loose end of the tape should be attached to the 
elevation on the receiving spool (24).
	4.	The tape is stretched by the moving collecting spool. 
The receiving spool moves clockwise. (The direction of 
the movement of the spool is marked with an arrow on the 
front of the apparatus).
	5.	The tape holding bar (35) should be returned to the 
lower position and the holder (30) should be moved to 
the right. The marked side of the tape should face the 
upper side.

How to attach the chlorine container and the smoke filter.

	1.	Open the frame (8) and the insulation (6) of the air 
withdrawing device from outside (sketch 12).

and insert the frame (8) back into the base (3) with 
circular movements and close the device carefully.


How to clean the apparatus and check the voltage.

	The holder of the ignition key (9) (sketch 3) should be 
placed facing the upper side (ignition BK 1). The voltage 
should be checked when the knobs (6 and 9 volt) are under 
pressure and the allowable deviation is + - 1 volt.
	The first (6 volt) knob - which controls the voltage of the 
valve - the allowable deviation can be up to 0.5 volt.
	The other (2 and 4 volt) knobs - which control the voltage of 
the lamps illuminating the light cell - the allowable 
deviation should not exceed = - 0.2 volt.
	
Remarks.

1.	If the indicator of the meter (17) (sketch 4) turns to the 
left side and leaves the borders of the meter it is necessary 
to close the apparatus and check the wires which connect the 
apparatus with the charging cell. This deviation means 
usually that the poles are reversed.
2.	Tests of the voltage of the chargers which are done with the 
voltage meter do not have any impact on the capacity of the 
chargers and can not alter it. Therefore, the meter can be 
used safely to check the working condition of the chargers.







	(38)

	RESTRICTED

The connection of the special smoke filter and the chlorine 
container should be checked with the air volume meter (43) (sketch 
4). If the connection is suitable the ends of the meter do not 
rise when the opening of the chlorine container (42) closes.

Preparation of the detection solution.

	In order to prepare the detection solution you need to follow 
the following steps:

	1.	Take a glass container which is used to prepare the 
solution. It can be found among the detection supplies. 
Exchange the used insulation of the plug into a new one 
(the insulation can be found under the smoke filter).
	2.	Wash the container with detector fluid number 203.
	3.	Take the granules of detector number 1 from the 
container. The granules should be put into the container 
which was taken from under the smoke filter. Mix the 
granules until they become a smooth powder. 
	4.	Put the powder (do not lose any) to the glass container.
	5.	Open the ampoule which is in the container with detector 
number 204. In order to open it take the ampoule with 
your left hand and make a mark with a knife. The mark 
should be placed 1.5 cm from the edge of the ampoule. 
Take a key or a screwdriver from the replenishment 
supplies and break the ampoule in the marked place. If 
the glass drops into the pipette, the pipette is 
damaged. 
	6.	Close the container using a piece of cork and the 
insulation. Shake until the dry powder dissolves and 
becomes a dry detector number 1.
	7.	Break the ampoule with the detector number 2 using the 
same steps as outlined above regarding the ampoule with 
detector number 204. Leave the ampoule standing for some 
time before breaking it because it will cause that the 
powder adhered the walls will fall to the bottom of the 
ampoule. The ampoule should be cut at its neck.
	8.	The dry detector number 2 should be put - without losing 
any amount of it - into the container filled with a 
solving agent. The container should be closed and shaken 
until the powder dissolves completely.

Remarks.

	All tools and containers which are used in order to make the 
detection fluid have to be always clean. 






	(39)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED

	Lack of special attention, insufficiently washed container 
for the solvent or a dirty hand cause that the prepared 
active solution is contaminated and the apparatus will give 
false indications that the toxic agents are in the air. 

Filling the pipette with the active solution.

	In order to fill the pipette with the active solution you 
must comply with the following methods:

	1.	Open the lid and apply pressure on the piston of the 
pipette as it is explained on (sketch 20). Pour the 
prepared active detection solution to the pipette.
	2.	Close the lid and wipe the frame of the pipette with a 
cotton cloth.
	3.	Rise the piston a few millimeters and apply a light 
pressure on it and let it go until the end of the 
pipette. You should repeat these movements until the 
detection solution starts to drop out of the pipette. 
This will remove the air from the pipette.  The solution 
exiting the pipette should form a narrow stream and 
should not be scattered and sprayed out of the pipette.

Remarks:

	The solution which was pushed out of the pipette should be 
poured into the container where the active solution is 
stored.

How to connect the pipette to the apparatus.

	In order to connect the pipette to the apparatus you must 
carefully push the head of the piston of the pipette to a 
narrow passage and position the pipette in the ring. The tube 
and the end of the pipette should be slightly turned to the 
left side. After placing the pipette attach the belt of the 
ring using the screw which holds the pipette (45) (sketch 4).

	3.	The size of the drop should be measured by the cylinder. 
The average size of the drop should be 0.15 millimeter. 
The size of the liquid flow should be the same as the 
size of the cylinder (5) (sketch 8).
	4.	If the size of the drop is different than 0.15 mm, it 
should be adjusted by turning the screw (2) (sketch 21). 
If the size of the drop is smaller than average the 
screw should be turned clockwise. If the size of the 
drop is larger than average the screw should be turned 
counter clockwise. 
	5.	The tube of the pipette should be inserted into the 
chemical reaction chamber by pressing the knob in the 
tube (sketch 2).

The apparatus should be adjusted using a light filter. The 
following steps should be followed in order to adjust the 
apparatus correctly:

	1.	The tape collecting device should be initiated by 
pressing knob (8) (sketch 3).
	2.	At the first moment of the turn the shaft (28) (sketch 
3) should be pressed and one of the light filters should 
be inserted (The lower shaft - when the temperature is 
30 to 35 degrees and the regular light filter should be 
used. The upper shaft, which is marked "+" - when the 
temperature is 35 to 40 degrees and the summer light 
filter should be used.). The adjusting knob should be 
turned slowly (sketch 22), gradually and clockwise until 
it faces the yellow lamp and the indicator reacts to the 
light. The light filter should be then removed and the 
shaft should be put back in its place.
	3.	The adjusting knob should be turned counter clockwise 50 
to 60 units and the button which cuts off the indicator 
(29) (sketch 4) should be pressed for 3 to 5 minutes. 
The yellow lamp should be switched off.
	4.	The work of the tape collecting device should be resumed 
after pressing the knob (8) (sketch 3).
	5.	The light filter should be inserted immediately after 
the initial turn and the adjusting screw should be 
turned slowly until it faces the yellow lamp again.  The 
indicator should react to the light as it happened 
before. The light filter should be removed after the 
indicator reacts to the light. 
	6.	The lamp should be switched off by pressing the knob 
(29) (sketch 4).
	7.	The adjusting bolt should be fastened with the rod (25) 
(sketch 4). The bolt should be turned clockwise as many 
times as possible to ensure the correct adjustment of 
the apparatus. The voice indicator knob should be opened 
and the lid should be closed. The emergency button 
should be pressed and the quantity of air should be 
measured using the air meter. If it is necessary, the 
quantity of air can be adjusted by using adjusting knob 
(10) (sketch 3).
		The container where the active solution was stored 
should be washed using detector number 203. The 
remaining portion of the detectors should be carefully 
stored in a special storage box. Be careful and do not 
break the glass containers when you put them in the box.
		The supplementary charge should be connected to the 
vehicle in order to load it.

4.	How to use the apparatus.

	The detecting and alarming apparatus SBM should be placed in 
vehicle KAZ - 69 on a special light and movable supportive 
base. The charging box should be fastened to the base which 
is mounted to the floor of the vehicle. The movable indicator 
box should be placed on the front board of the vehicle and 
connected with the apparatus using a connecting wire inserted 
into the end opening of the box. Such a placement of the box 
will ensure and the light indications of the toxic agents and 
the radiation and the emergency cycle are noticed and 
transferred to the front board.
	The apparatus can be used in stable and secured locations.
	When the apparatus is used to detect the toxic agents and 
radiation, the indicator should be under observation at all 
times. The following parts of the apparatus should be 
especially watched:
	a.	The emergency cycle lamps should be checked every 1 to 2 
hours.

	(44)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED

	b.	The pump should be watched every hour and the quantity 
of air should be adjusted if necessary with the 
adjusting knob which is situated of the lid of the 
apparatus.
	c.	The voltage of the electric circuit should be checked 
with the voltage meter and the front part of the 
apparatus should be inspected every 3 to 4 hours and 
every hour in the winter. At the same time the movement 
of the tape and the receiving spool should be checked.
	d.	The adjustment of the apparatus should be checked using 
the light filter if necessary (follow steps which were 
described above).

The following steps must be undertaken every 2 to 4 hours if the 
apparatus works without refilling it with the detection liquid:

	a.	Close the apparatus.
	b.	Open the lid of the apparatus and wipe of the lower part 
of the chemical reaction chamber with the cotton cloth 
moistened with detector number 203. Attach the detecting 
tape to the proper part of the chemical reaction chamber 
(the chamber must be dry) and close the lid.

The apparatus should be initiated again after a short break by 
putting the initiation knob (9) (sketch 3) in working position 
(WKL) and pressing the emergency turn button (8) at the same time. 
When the apparatus works in the air which is free of smoke, 
vapors, acids, etc. the special smoke filter does not have to be 
exchanged until the apparatus is filled with the detection 
liquids. If the apparatus, however, works in the atmosphere full 
of smoke, gas, vapors, acids, etc., the filter should be exchanged 
every 2 to 4 hours since it collects the contamination. You will 
find 12 filters among the detection tools. This amount is 
sufficient for 3 exchanges.

The following steps should be undertaken in order to exchange the 
filter:

	a.	Close the electric engine of the pump using the air 
adjusting axis.
	b.	Open the lid of the apparatus.
	c.	Open the frame of the air withdrawing devices (42) 
(sketch 4) and exchange the filter.
	d.	Close the lid of the apparatus and open the pump. Check 
if the filter is in a correct position implementing 
steps which were outlined earlier in this paragraph.







	(45)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED

It is necessary to close the pump when you are exchanging the 
filter in order to protect the chlorine container which is would 
be otherwise exposed to contamination.

If you use the apparatus when the temperature is 35 to 40 degrees 
you must do the following:

	a.	You need to install the summer light filter in the 
apparatus (the one which is marked with "+").
	b.	The apparatus should be protected before the direct sun.
	c.	When apparatus temporarily stops, it is necessary to 
wipe off front of reactivity room.
	d.	You need to remember that the detection solution will be 
suitable for working less than 8 hours after preparation 
(without taking into consideration the length of the 
time when the apparatus was used) if the temperature of 
the surroundings is 35 to 40 degrees.
If the apparatus and the regular light filter were adjusted and 
then the temperature rose, the summer light filter has to be put 
in place of the normal filter and the apparatus should be adjusted 
again. When the temperature is 20 to 30 degrees, the voltage of 
the electric circuit needs to be checked by the meter.
The power of the charges decreases unexpectedly when the 
temperatures are low therefore the voltage should be checked every 
hour.
The precipitation container (5) (sketch 2) should be also 
constantly checked and emptied if it is full of liquid.
The adjustment of the apparatus should be checked in accordance 
with the following rules:

1.	If there is an incorrect indication that the toxic agents are 
present (during drills and when we know that the toxic agents 
do not exist).
2.	When the apparatus is put back to work after a break (longer 
than 4 hours) and operates without refilling it with the 
detection fluids.
3.	Open the lid.
4.	Ease the axis which holds the adjusting knob and turn the 
knob clockwise 25 to 30 units.
5.	Press the emergency turn button.
6.	At the beginning of the emergency turn one of the light 
filters should be inserted (depending upon the temperature of 
the air). Then the knob should be slowly turned counter 
clockwise until it faces the lamp of the indicator of the 
toxic agents. After that the light filter should be removed.









	(46)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED

7.	Press button (29) (sketch 4) to cut off the indicator.
8.	Lock the adjusting button in its place using the rod.

	Once the apparatus is adjusted, it should not need the 
readjustment until the next check up. We can use substitutes 
of the chemical agents, such as an ampoule of KT-1 detector 
(the one which has one red ring) or KT-6 detector (the one 
which has one green ring). Both can be found among the 
detector tubes KHT-1 which are a part of the training 
materials which are used to test the technical condition of 
the detector tube. The substitutes are used in order to learn 
more about the apparatus and in order to be able to 
constantly check the technical condition of the apparatus 
while it operates when the toxic agents are present (or 
before they appear).

How to use the substitutes.

1.	Prepare the apparatus according to directions and activate 
it.
2.	Take the detector tube number 1 (or number 6) and break its 
end and break also the ampule which is inside the tube 
according to instructions which can be found in the manual 
which is included with the detector tube gadget.
3.	The lower end (not shown) of the detector tube should be 
inserted into the opening of the rubber tube which can be 
found in the replenishment box of the apparatus. If the lid 
of the apparatus is closed, insert the tube into a plug which 
has a large external diameter and can be found on the side of 
the apparatus. If the lid of the apparatus is open, however, 
the tube should be inserted into the plug with a small 
external diameter. The substitutes should be attached to the 
entry opening of the apparatus (sketch 23) in front of the 
chlorine container (sketch 23). The emergency turn button 
should be pressed and the air should be adjusted with the 
adjusting knob (10) (sketch 3) which is attached to the lid 
of the apparatus.
4.	The detector should be cut off immediately when the indicator 
shows the presence of the toxic agents.
5.	It is not advisable to use the substitutes more than 1 or 2 
times during the entire testing operation in order to avoid 
contamination of the gas pipes.
	The special smoke filter in the chlorine container should be 
exchanged after we finish working with the substitutes and a 
bigger amount of air should be allowed into the apparatus. 
Then the apparatus should operate 25 to 30 minutes with the 
clean air.
	The used tube should be discarded and the rubber tube should 
be put back in the box with the detection devices. 






	(47)

	RESTRICTED

The following steps should be undertaken after work with the 
apparatus is finished:

1.	Open the lid of the apparatus and put the ignition key in 
position (closed - WYKL).
2.	Remove the pipette and pour the rest of the detection 
solution out of it.
3.	Wash the pipette using detector number 203 and insert it back 
in the apparatus.
4.	Cut the used portion of the detection tape and remove it from 
the tape collecting spool.
5.	Wipe off the front part of the chemical reaction chamber with 
a cotton cloth moistened with detector number 203.
6.	Insert the dry detector tape in the chemical reaction 
chamber.
7.	Remove the chlorine container and the special smoke filter.
8.	Wipe off the apparatus and close the lid.

Remarks:

The apparatus can not be stopped during the individual cycle since 
the detector will flow out of the pipette.

		Sixth: 	Inspect the connecting wires and insure that 
they are free of any cuts, and also inspect 
the wire connections. 
		Seventh: 	Inspect the device cover tightness, and when 
necessary use the locks.
		Eighth: 	Inspect the condition of the gaskets for both 
the device and the cover.
		Ninth: 	Remove moisture, dust and dirt using a piece 
of cloth. For hard-to-reach parts use a brush, 
which will be found in the maintenance kit. 
Remove the corrosion from the metal surface 
using rags immersed in benzene. 
	b. 	Inspect the device parts using the notebook. Also 
inspect the reserve material and equipment and how to 
load them, then restock the shortages. In order to 
inspect the inspection tools, you have to make sure that 
all the reagents are available, and also that no glass 
containters are broken. In order to protect them please 
wrap them with soft paper or cotton. 
	c. 	Insure the cleanness of the dropper, the reaction 
chamber, and the precipitation container. Clean the dirt 
and the remaining reagent in the dropper or at the front 
part of the reaction chamber. 
	d. 	Change the oil in the pump regularly when the oil 
becomes dirty or after 48 hours of operation according 
to the following procedure:
		First open the device inner panel.
		Second, open the pump container and drain the used oil, 
then clean the container and remove the dirt. 
		Third, fill the container with the new oil up to the 
mark on the inside surface of the container. 
(approximately 1.5 to 2.0 milliliters)
		Fourth, return the container to its place. After 
changing the oil, operate the device for ten to fifteen 
minutes and then let the extra oil be expelled outside 
through the exit opening. When the temperature is lower 
than 20 degrees Centigrade do not use any type of oil 
except type AMF-10. If the temperature is higher than 20 
degrees Centigrade you may use the other types.
	e. 	Wash the pump according to the following procedure:
		First, open the pump container and exchange the oil in 
the container as described above. 
		Second, remove the rubber tube from the filter (the tube 
connecting the pipe with the 

	(53)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED


		pump), then operate the device and suck a small amount 
of oil from the container to the pump directly using the 
tube. 
		Third, clean the end of the rubber tube using a dry 
cloth (not cotton) and connect the tube with the filter 
opening.
		Fourth, return the container to its place. Do not supply 
the oil to the pump when the container is in place, 
because that could lead to spilling the oil into the 
electric engine.
		When the pump efficiency falls, it must be cleaned 
according to the procedure above, using benzene first 
and then oil.
		Wash the gas pipeline when necessary at the area inside 
the bottom part of the reaction chamber according to the 
following steps:
		First, operate the device and supply the electric engine 
of the pump with the highest voltage possible using the 
air regulator.
		Second, lower the bottom part of the reaction chamber.
		Third, pull out a small amount of ethyl alcohol or 
(N.203) or (N.204) reagents using a pipette and release 
it in the opening present at the bottom part of the 
reaction chamber.
		Fourth, repeat the process two to three times during 
which all the remaining reagent dissolves in the alcohol 
and the gas mix becomes clean.
		Fifth, after finishing the cleaning process, remove the 
precipitation container fixed on the bottom part of the 
reaction chamber and wash it.
	g. 	To clean the pump's electric engine regulator, you must:
		First, open the inside panel of the device.
		Second, remove the protecting cover toward the engine 
area to facilitate access to the regulator.
		Third, operate the device and supply the pump's electric 
engine with the maximum voltage using the air regulator.
		Fourth, moisten the tool used to clean the regulator 
with a small amount of benzene and use it to clean the 
regulator very softly and without using any pressure. 
	Cleaning the engine regulator of the tape pulling system 
according to the following procedures:
		First, remove the dropper.
		Second, remove the bottom part of the reaction chamber.

		Third, open the inside panel of the device.
		Fourth, move the protective cover toward the engine 
area.
		Fifth, push the button for the exceptional cycle and 
operate the tape pulling system engine.
	h. 	To tighten the tape use nut number 51 as shown in figure 
number (5) with the pulsator. To achieve that, rotate 
the nut so the pulsator will exert pressure, so that 
when operating the tape pulling system the tape becomes 
tight. The tape tightness should be kept to a minimum 
because extreme tightness will hinder the tape pulling 
system work.
	i.	We have to oil the tape pulling system parts exposed to 
friction to insure normal operation to the device. 
Surfaces exposed to friction must be oiled with a thin 
layer of heavy oil or gasoline, therefore precaution 
should be taken to prevent the oil from falling into the 
reaction chamber and contacting the reagent solution and 
the detecting tape. 
	j.	The callibration spring should be adjusted when 
necessary or at least once every six months, therefore 
the fixing nut should be loosened as shown in (figure 
no. 25). After cleaning and oiling the teeth, the spring 
is fixed in its location then the spring nut is 
inspected to make sure of its regularity.

	k.	To exchange the suction filter accessory we should: 
		First, remove the filter from the rubber tube.
		Second, loosen the filter from the inner panel of the 
device.
		Third, open the filter cover using special key (number 
2) found in the maintenance kit.
		Fourth, fill the filter with active charcoal (2/3 of its 
volume) and dry silicone gel (1/3 of the volume) as 
shown in (figure no. 10), then add layers of gauze and 
gaskets between the two filter networks. 
		Fifth, close the filter cover and rotate the key.
		Sixth, return the filters to their place.

	l.	Inspect the suspension according to the following 
method:
		First, inspect the spring condition, the nuts, the 
pulsating rings, and all the fixing and suspension 
elements.
		Second, insure the safety of vibration and shock 
absorption elements.
		Third, remove dirt and rust, and oil the metal parts of 
the suspension.
		Fourth, check the place of the device on the vibration 
absorbants.
	m. 	Testing the battery capacity. The wrong way of 
maintaining the suppliers can lead to reduction of the 
battery capacity. When using the device the battery 
should be charged at all times and its capacity should 
be checked continuously as mentioned above. 
		After finishing working with the device, connect it 
immediately with the reserve battery while placing the 
first battery to be charged. We should also check the 
cell covers regularly, at least once a week, and clean 
when necessary. Malfunction of the covers can lead to 
swelling of the cells, therefore they should be 
constantly under observation; the cells have to be clean 
at all times.
	n.	Also, no liquid spills should be allowed on the surface 
of the cells because it might lead to discharge and the 
breakdown of the battery. When checking the battery we 
should give special attention to the connecting points 
and check the connection between the cells and the 
gaskets between the cells. 
	o.	Charging the battery:
		Charging the battery takes place using an electric 
current of 2.5 Amperes for seven hours. When charging 
the battery we connect the positive pole of the battery 
with the positive pole of the source, and the negative 
with the negative. We can use the fast charging methods 
only in extreme emergency. 
		The fast charging method: Use a double current for 2 1/2 
hours then use the normal current for 2 hours. The 
electrolyte average for each cell of the battery equals 
0.12 milliliter. The complete charging of the battery 
should be done after each 10 to 12 working cycles 
(charge - discharge); that means it would take place at 
least once a month.





	(57)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED


The complete charging system: Normal current for 6 hours followed 
by half current for another 6 hours. During the charging process 
the electrolyte temperature should not exceed 45 degrees 
Centigrade for the compound electrolytes, and 40 degrees 
Centigrade for Sodium Hydroxide, and 30 degrees Centigrade for 
Potassium Hydroxide. If the temperature exceeds the above limits 
the charging process should be halted and the battery is left to 
cool. The battery is usually charged in the winter and in the open 
air (temperature less than 10 degrees Centigrade and up to plus 3 
degrees Centigrade) using a normal current for 4 hours. In case we 
need to charge the battery in lower temperature we should warm it 
with cloth and insulating material.

General rule: The charging process takes place while the battery 
box cover is open and the cell covers are open also. When charging 
the battery using charger type (kaz-69) (phonetically translated) 
we should close the covers of the battery box according to the 
regulations and we should also make sure that the cover's openings 
are clean. After each charge the electrolyte level at the battery 
should be checked, and when necessary add the electrolyte to the 
standard level using a rubber pipette. Before charging, the 
electrolyte level in the cells is recorded (the electrolyte level 
should not be less than 5 milliliter or more than 12 milliliter 
from the plates in the cell). In order to avoid the electrolyte 
spill outside of the battery during the charging period, the 
electrolyte level should be less than 12 milliliter; the 
electrolyte level is measured by using a glass tube of 5 to 6 
milliliter in diameter with 2 marks at 5 milliliter and 12 
millilter. Insert this glass pipe in the battery until it touches 
the plates, then block the tube firmly using the thumb, then raise 
it from the battery to read the level. The level in the tube will 
equal the level of the electrolyte in the battery. Return the 
electrolyte to the battery. 

To reduce the amounts of the electrolyte in the battery use the 
rubber pipette. The battery should be kept away from flame during 
the charging process. After charging the batterys and the boxes 
are cleaned and the cell walls should be checked to make sure they 
are not touching each other. In case any touching is found it 
should be corrected immediately, followed by another charge to 
return the capacity to normal. 



	(58)

	RESTRICTED



	p. 	Changing the electrolytes: The electrolyte should be 
changed after 100 cycles (charge - discharge) or at 
least twice a year (in the fall and the spring). 
Notice: 
If the capacity of the battery falls remarkably we should change 
the electrolyte before the schedule. If the temperature is more 
than minus 15 degrees Centigrade we can use one of the following 
types of electrolytes:
		First, Sodium Hydroxide solution of 1.17 - 1.19 density.
		Second, Potassium Hydroxide solution of 1.19 - 1.21 
density.
		Third, Potassium Hydroxide solution of 1.19 - 1.21 
density and Lithium Hydroxide (10 gram/liter). When the 
temperature is less than minus 15 degrees Centigrade it 
is preferred to use Potassium Hydroxide solution with a 
density of 1.26 - 1.28. Before changing the electrolyte 
the battery is charged for 8 hours until the voltage 
reaches 1 volt. 
		The old electrolyte is removed after shaking the battery 
very well (to remove the dirt from the cells). The 
removed solution is then collected and sent to be 
recycled (the Potassium Hydroxide is separated from the 
Sodium Hydroxide during the collection process). After 
removing the old electrolyte, the battery is washed with 
distilled water or by an alkaline solution (the alkaline 
solutions are prepared by mixing two volumes of water 
with one volume of the prepared electrolyte, the 
electrolyte is left to precipitate and change color 
which takes between 3 and 6 hours, the colored portion 
is removed very carefully and used to complete the 
batteries). 
		To avoid the corrosion of the batteries after washing 
them with distilled water, do not leave them without 
electrolyte. The electrolyte is poured into the washed 
batteries and after a few hours the electrolyte is 
examined and filled to the required level. After that 
close the covers.
		After discharge of the electrolyte and washing of the 
batteries, we pour the electrolyte with a higher density 
(for example instead of a solution of 1.19 density we 
use a solution of 1.25 to 1.27 density) in order to make 
the density of the electrolyte the same in the end. 
After changing the electrolyte and filling the new 
batteries we should apply one or two charging operations 
using normal current followed by a strong charge. 



	(59)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED



		During the periods using the alkaline batteries, 
distilled water or natural alkaline solution should be 
added to the required level when needed. The alkaline 
solutions are stored in tightly closed bottles. 
	q.	All the information should be accurately recorded at the 
service records with the testing results and the working 
hours of the device.
7. 	Inspecting the technical condition of the device: The 
inspection of the technical condition of the device should be 
done when:
	a. 	When receiving the device from the factory.
	b.	When removing the device from one location to another.
	c.	When performing the technical maintenance on the device.
		To inspect the device it will be turned on according to 
the instructions for a period of time (at least one 
hour) during which the technical constants will be 
measured.
		If the inspection tools are not available we can use the 
detection tape available in the maintenance kit and we 
can also use distilled water applied by the dropper. 
During the inspection period each operating unit should 
be examined separately (the tape pulling system, pump, 
audio signals and the dropper); the device is considered 
to be technically fit if the constants are within the 
approved limits in the service records, and also when 
all the units are working in a normal condition. 
		In case any of the safety fuses, the signals, or the 
lights are broken they should be changed using the 
maintenance kit and then continue the inspection. 
		The examination methods for the technical condition of 
the device:
		To test the stability of the optical cycle:
	a.	Prepare the device to work according to the 
instructions.
	b.	Record the signals of the optical cell when the tape is 
dry at the beginning and at the end of the examination 
	c. 	Calculate the stabiity of the optical cycle (C%) using 
the equation in table number 3.

Remarks

1.	When the temperature reaches 30 - 35 degrees, the recording 
of the indications of the light cell (No, Mk) should be 
conducted with a regular light filter. When the temperature 
reaches 35 - 40 degrees, however the recording should be 
conducted with the summer light filter.
2.	Using the same tape during the test will ensure that the 
results are recorded on the detection tape constantly and 
without any pauses.

To test the duration of the turn:

The apparatus has a timer which can indicate the period which 
passed between the first and the next movement of the tape. 

The time needed to detect the toxic agents when the apparatus 
operates is also tested with a timer. The time of reaction means 
the period between the lightning of the yellow lamp and until the 
apparatus starts operating again.
The pump and its structure is being tested over and over again by 
the air meter which indicates the volume of the air.

If there is no indicator of the toxic agents: 
this is a time elapsed between the moment of 
the ignition of the green lamp to the ignition 
of all remaining lamps (4 minutes and 30 to 40 
seconds. If there is an indicator of the toxic 
agents: the yellow lamp is on for 20 to 65 
seconds after they appear.

If there is no toxic agents indicator: the 
cycle changes after every 4 minutes and 30 to 
45 seconds.

When the air is absorbed and passes by the 
moistened detection tape, it is necessary to 
adjust the air meter using the air regulator 
and adjust the air stream to 1 liter per 
minute.



Storing the lubricated devices.

The people should be carefully instructed how to store the detection and the chemical 
reconnaissance devices. The best conditions for storage of the GSB apparatus are as follows: 
temperature between 25 and + - 5 degrees, the humidity should not exceed 50 - 60% and the 
apparatus should be placed far from any heating devices. The places where the detection 
devices are to be stored have to be free of acids.
The lubricated devices have to be put into the nylon bags if they have to be stored for a 
long time. 

In order to prepare the devices for lubrication which is necessary before they are to be 
stored for longer than a year, you need to remove the device from the vehicle and test its 
technical condition. After that you need to do the following:
	(62)
	RESTRICTED

	RESTRICTED

a.	wash the pump and clean it from oils and put a small amount 
of a lubricant on it to prevent it before wearing out,
b.	clean the electric engine,
c.	clean the gas pipes,
d.	carefully wipe off the front of the compound chamber and put 
a piece of the dry and clean detection tape between the two 
walls of the chamber.
e.	wipe off all unpainted metal parts in the apparatus and in 
the charging box with a cloth dampened with benzine and 
lubricate them with a modest amount of lubricant,
f.	wash the pipette and precipitation container,
g.	the charges should be stored without electrolyte. The charge 
which was used for eight hours should be charged until the 
voltage reaches 1 volt. After that the electrolyte should be 
poured (can not be washed with water) and the lid of the 
cells should be closed tightly.
	The lid with stretched, worn out edges should be replaced 
with a new and clean one.
	The time period of storage of the devices in storehouses 
should be recorded.
	In order to store the device for a long time (at least one 
year), we use nylon bags, 0.1 millimeter thick, which prevent 
the vapor before entering the devices. Inside the nylon bags 
we put the cotton fabric with silicon gel, as much as 150, in 
order to protect the devices before the humidity. The silicon 
gel is inserted 15 to 30 minutes before closing. The bag of 
silicon gel is placed together with the apparatus. The bag 
should be pressed by hand in order to push the air out of the 
bag and the ends should be sealed together.

base should be painted using brush. See sketch 26. 
The paint should be spread smoothly (light coat), 
without smudges.
		3.	The light cell should be dry in about 24 hours if 
the surrounding temperature is 18 degrees + - 5 
degrees. If the temperature is 35 + - 4 degrees, 
the cell will be completely dry after 6 to 8 hours.
		4.	The parts of the light cell which are not painted 
should be wiped off with extreme caution using a 
cotton cloth which is moistened with alcohol before 
connecting the cell to the apparatus.

Remarks:
