Strictly follow the methods of connection to the charging box. You have to follow drawing (9), (sketch 17) and signs marked on the ends of the wire. 2. Look at the position of the starter key (9) (sketch 3). The key should be in position (closed - WYKL - here this Russian symbol follows). (36) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3. Connect the cables of the apparatus with the cables of the charging box and cables of the movable indication gadget. The cables should be connected smoothly without using any force. Make sure that the elevation covered the gap when you are connecting the openings. Check if the pump is filled with lubricant. In order to check if the pump is filled with the lubricant the following steps must be followed: Open the front part of the apparatus and remove the pump container. Exchange the lubricant if necessary and put the container back in the pump. Insert the pump and close the front part of the apparatus. Clean the chemical reaction chamber. In order to clean the reaction chamber the following steps must be followed: Wrap the cotton around the spike and moisten it with detector number 203. Rise the tape collecting device (35) (sketch 4) and carefully wipe off the upper and lower part of the chamber as it is explained on sketch 19. Clean the pipette. In order to clean the pipette the following steps must be followed: 1. Rise the end of the pipette from its place in the chemical reaction chamber by applying pressure on the holding button (1) (sketch 2). 2. Loosen the rivet which holds the pipette (45) (sketch 4) and carefully remove the pipette (do not break the stick). 3. Pour 4 to 5 milliliters of the detection fluid number 203 into the pipette and move the stick to clean the interior of the pipette. 4. Repeat the operation using a new fluid. 5. Pour the rest of the detection fluid from the pipette and wipe off its exterior with cotton. Replace the lid. Place the pipette in the lower side of the lid of the apparatus. It is not necessary to wipe off the internal part of the pipette or a stick. How to attach the detection tape. In order to attach the detection tape the following steps must be followed: 1. Open the lid of the left spool (16) (sketch 4) and place the spool with the tape on the axis and close the lid over the axis. (37) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2. Move the holder (30) to the right side. 3. The tape moves between two parts of the chemical 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). 2. Attach the chlorine container (5) in the insulation and attach the insulation to the base (3). 3. Fasten the filter (7) in place marked with colored dots 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 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). (40) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Sketch 19 How to wash the chemical reaction chamber. Sketch 20 How to fill the pipette with fluid. (41) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED How to measure the size of the drop. 1. The cylinder (13)(sketch 4) should be inserted close to the chemical reaction chamber and into the tube of the pipette. This process is explained on (sketch 2). 2. The tape collecting device should be initiated by applying pressure on the emergency circle knob (8) (sketch 3). 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). 6. The cylinder should be wiped off with a cotton cloth and placed in its standard position on the lid. Sketch 21 Methods of measuring the size of the drop. 1.

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. (43) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Sketch 22 How to adjust the apparatus. 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 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. The chemical and radiation disinfection necessary in case of this apparatus is similar to the chemical and radiation disinfection of all other detection and measurement devices. Sketch 23 How to use the substitutes when the lid of the apparats is closed. (48) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Sketch 24 How to use the substitutes when the lid of the apparatus is open. 50. The technical maintenance of the apparatus. The technical maintenance of the apparatus should be performed in order to keep the apparatus in a good working condition. The maintenance should be performed by a person who is responsible for the apparatus and should include the following: the standard repairs of the apparatus and all malfunctions which appear when the apparatus works.

Same as above The technical maintenance procedures. a. Routine check up of the apparatus should include the following: First Checking the shafts, bars, rods, openings, and the charging box and repairing them if necessary. Second Checking if the paint is in a good condition and if there are no scratches on the surface; checking the glass pieces. Third Checking the lid of the openings on the frame of the apparatus and the lid of the charging box. Fourth Checking the front side of the apparatus and if the illumination and indication lamps work correctly. Checking the bolts, knobs and all movable parts of the apparatus, such as pipette or the chlorine container. Checking the gas gadgets and if the converting system and the inductor are sealed. Fifth Checking the charging box and inspection if there is a proper isolation between the charges. Checking the condition of the connecting cables and if the metal is not corroded. (52) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 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. (54) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 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. (55) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED (Figure no. 25, method of spring adjusting) 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. (56) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 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 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. (60) RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 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.

It is necessary, however, to not to pass the edges of the line (4) and (6) at the average temperature or the edges (3) and (6) when the temperature is negative. 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.
