MAINTENANCE
Replacing Lung Bladders
If leaking occurs, the lung bladders (in the chest cavity) should be
replaced.
1 Open the Torso Skin and put the Stomach Foam to the side.
2 Open the hinged chest plate upwards, to access the lungs.
3 Remove the chest compression spring for easier access to the
lungs.
4 Unhook the yellow lung compliance bands from each side of the
lung assembly.
5 Open the hinged lung plate.
6 Pull the old lung out from its socket.
7 Reverse this process to insert a new lung.
Note: Ensure that the compliance bands intersect between the
two folds of the lung.
Replacing Simulator Skins
The simulator skins may need to be replaced if they become torn,
perforated, or stained.
1 Unzip and unroll the skin.
2 Applying powder to the inside of arm, torso and leg skins will
help reduce friction and make replacing the skins easier.
To prevent the zippers from separating from the skin, make sure
to properly position the skin halves and hold them together while
zipping them closed.
