Cleaning

CAUTION

Do not allow water or cleaning fluids to enter the manikin chest plate or LSU for LAAS during cleaning, as this can damage internal components and render the devices inoperable.

  1. Pump soapy water from the LSU for LAAS canister through the manikin until visibly clean. Repeat using clean water to remove any soapy residue.
