Maintenance
Inspection Before and After Use
Check before and after use for signs of wear and tear. Small damages can easily be repaired. Using a
damaged SmartDummy™ Thermal can lead to electrical short circuits within the manikin. This will render
repairs and use impossible, and, can cause the manikin to catch on fire.
Cleaning and Storing
The exterior of the manikin is made of solid canvas and can be easily cleaned after use. If necessary, the
manikin can be cleaned with a moist rag. Do not use solvents as these can lead to damage.
Make sure to not get the manikin to wet during cleaning as the electronics in the manikin are not water
resistant. If this should happen, let it dry completely before storing it or using it again.
Disinfecting
If the SmartDummy™ Thermal has been exposed to hazardous materials during the training, the
manikin, along with other materials used, must be disinfected in the manner as is usual for the substance
in question. Please keep to the directives explained in section ‘Cleaning and Storing’ of this manual.
Repairs
Repairs are rarely feasible in the field. Eventual repairs can be done by LION Fire Training Products.
Precautionary Measures and Safety guidelines
Precautionary Measures
The SmartDummy™ Thermal should be handled with care. It has been developed for normal use as may
be expected when staging training situations.
Dragging the manikin by one limb or by the head may cause damages to the exterior and the electronics
inside the manikin. Dropping the SmartDummy™ Thermal from heights of more than 50 cm can lead to
damage to the battery or can lead to small tears. A high ambient temperature can also cause damage to
the manikin.
Twisting the limbs of the manikin can cause severe damage. Adding additional weight is not allowed.
When setting up a training session, make sure that the manikin isn’t near or on any warm or sharp
objects that could damage the exterior.
The SmartDummy™ Thermal is not made to be used in water scenarios.
Recommendations and Safety Guidelines
The SmartDummy™ Thermal should be moved using proper lifting technique. Carrying the manikin in an
incorrect way can lead to back or muscle injury.
The manikin cannot be used in high temperature environments as this can damage the exterior of the
manikin. The outer layer is not fire resistant.
The manikin should be kept face up during charging. It should never be charged whilst being
bent over (head pointing downwards), placed on its side or hung upside down.
To charge the SmartDummy™ Thermal it needs to be turned off.
