c) Filters cannot be washed, blown out or restored. When exhausted they must be disposed
of.
d) The respirator is to be serviced at least once a year by KASCO or a service centre
authorised by KASCO.

CAUTION

7.1 Do not use the respirator in the conditions listed at point 4.1.



Do not use it for any reason if the air flow check has not been carried out (see point

5.4.1).



For powered respirators with blower units not built into the helmets, fit the filters directly

onto the blower unit and not on the helmet.
7.2 Do not expose the battery to heat sources of over 55°C.



Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.



Do not place the battery on/near equipment which vibrates excessively.



In case of battery leakage wash all parts which have come into contact with leaked liquid

immediately.



Do not expose battery to infrared or ultraviolet rays excessively.



Do not pierce, crush, disassemble or open the battery as leaked liquid could catch fire,

explode or release dangerous substances.



Keep the battery charger connected to the battery only if the charger is powered.



Battery charging must be carried out at a temperature between 0°C and 40°C.

7.3  Do not use expired filters even if their seals are still intact.
7.4  Return to clean fresh air immediately and take OFF the helmet if:
a) Leakage is detected by smell, taste or eye, nose or throat irritation.
b) Inhaled air becomes extremely hot.
c)  Any feeling of nausea, dizziness or ill being develops.
7.5  THE  RESPIRATOR  WILL  NOT  PROVIDE  ANY  LEVEL  OF  RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION  UNLESS  BLOWER  UNITS  WHICH  DRAW  IN  AIR  THROUGH  THE
FILTER/S  ARE  FUNCTIONING.  OXYGEN  WOULD  BE  ABSORBED  RAPIDLY  AND  THE
CARBON DIOXYDE CONCENTRATION PRODUCED BY BREATHING WOULD  EXCEED
THE TLV LIMITS.
7.6  Never alter or modify this respirator in any way.
7.7  The air flow indicator must be used to check the airflow only; it is not suitable to check
the  battery  capacity  and/or  the  battery  running  time.  The  airflow  indicator  gives  correct
readings when it is used in an upright position and any reading given at a position differing
+/- 15° from the upright position is not to be considered realistic.
7.8  Replace  the  helmet  if  damaged  (cracks,  bumps  etc.)  as  this  could  cause  inward
leakage.
7.9  This equipment is to be used only by qualified personnel who has been trained on the
use  and  maintenance  of  RPD  (Respiratory  Protective  Devices)  and  who  is  aware  of  their
technical and legal limits.
7.10  Do not use the respirator if your sense of smell is in any way impaired.
7.11  Do  not  use  the  respirator  if  it  has  not  been  serviced  annually  by  a  maintenance
centre authorised by KASCO.
7.12  In order to provide adequate protection, this helmet must fit or be adapted to the size
of the user's head.
7.13  The  helmet  is  made  in  such  a  way  as  to  absorb  the  energy  of  a  blow  by  partial
destruction  or  damage  to  the  shell  and  harness  and,  while  such  damage  may  not  be
immediately apparent, any helmet subjected to severe impact should be replaced.
7.14

The user’s attention is also drawn to the danger of modifying or removing any original

component of the helmet which has not been recommended by KASCO. Helmets must not
be  adapted  for  the  purpose  of  fitting  accessories  which  have  not  been  recommended  by
KASCO in any way.
7.15  Do  not  apply  paints,  solvents,  adhesives  or  self-adhesive  labels,  unless  in
accordance with the instructions provided by KASCO.
7.16  Materials  coming  into  contact  with  the  user's  skin  may  cause  allergic  reactions  in
sensitive individuals.
7.17  Eye  protectors  against  high  speed  particles  worn  over  ophthalmic  spectacles  may
transmit impacts, thereby constituting a danger for the wearer.
7.18  If  protection  against  high  speed  particles  at  extreme  temperatures  is  required,  the
chosen  eye  protector  should  be  marked  with  the letter  T immediately following  the  impact
letter, i.e. FT, BT or AT. If this is not the case, the chosen eye protector should only be used
against high speed particles at room temperature.
7.19  It is  recommended  to  replace  the  visor  in  the  presence  of  scratches  or  damage.  To
replace the visor, order the following spare parts:
SKU 1903041 - KAIO / KAIOS flat flip-up visor
SKU 0809052 - KAIO / KAIOS visor hook kit (only if damaged)
