For STC models (107STC), the manual is VSC Document 8017, Instructions for Continued Airworthiness. For portable models (107P), the manual is VSC Document 8024, Maintenance and User Instructions.

EVAS operators are required to perform regular inspections, to assure their units are in proper working order.
Inspections to be Performed by EVAS Customers:
Daily Inspection
The inspector shall visually check EVAS for general condition, security, and position in the cockpit.
Periodic Inspection
The EVAS system must be given a periodic inspection to ensure proper battery voltage and blower motor operation. The span between inspections should not exceed 90 days.
In addition to the inspections performed by EVAS customers, biennial inspections are required to maintain the serviceability of the units. These inspections, as explained in the next section, cannot be performed by the customer.

Inspections That Cannot be Performed by EVAS Customers:
The EVAS warranty is void if systems are not serviced in accordance with required service periods.
Biennial (24 month) Inspection
EVAS systems require regular service every 24 months. The service due date is clearly marked on each EVAS unit.
120 Month Rebuild
120 months from the original manufacture date, the EVAS system is rebuilt to the current configuration. This serves to renew the warranty period for an additional 10 years, and includes replacement of key system components.
Special Inspection
A special inspection is required immediately after:
- the integrity of the EVAS container has been compromised;
- any test in which the "Battery Condition" status indicates "Inop" (red test light or no light);
- or any use or deployment of EVAS.
If EVAS is deployed in an emergency, please contact VSC Quality Assurance Department as soon as practical at 1-800-441-9230. Complete the Pilot Smoke Event Report, VS QC-Form 38 (see below).
