a. Removal.
Ensure air pressure is drained to 0 psi (0 kPa) before taking off any air components. If pressure is not
released, components could blow off and harm personnel. The IHMEE air system is pressurized to
119 psi (820 kPa). Do not drain air from a tank with any part of body in air spray path. Skin embolisms
and/or debris in eyes can occur from released pressure. Failure to comply may result in injury or death
to personnel.
NOTE
All air valves are removed and installed in the same manner.
Remove cable ties as necessary.
Tag all hoses and tubes and note their positions before removal.
Cap and plug all tubes and fittings upon removal.
