Manual[]
Open the outer fabric packet. Tear of a 5cm strip from one of the wiping cloth, wipe and absorb the contamination.
Open the plastic bag on the marking. Pour water till in summer the upper, in winter the lower marking (approx. 0,7 liter). Close it and shake it hard.
When the tincture heated up (calcium hypochlorite reacts with water in an exotherm reaction) put the bag in a previously digged hole (or pour it in a pot).
Dip the clot from what the previous part was ripped off in the tincture and clean the equipment many times.
Wipe dry the equipment with the second cloth and after grease or oil it.
Bury the used decontamination tincture, cloth and bags.
