How do you activate the PBE?

Explanation:
Activating protective breathing equipment is a mechanical release that starts the oxygen flow when the unit is separated. Inside the PBE, the two oxygen cylinders are held together by a seal and a clip. Pulling the halves of the case apart quickly breaks that seal and snaps the clip, allowing oxygen to flow into the hood. Once the oxygen is flowing, you place the hood over your head and secure it as needed. You don’t twist any valve, press a button, or remove the hood to start the flow—the activation happens when the unit is separated and the oxygen is released.
