PREPARING THE RESPIRATOR FOR USE
The nosecup can get caught on the lens retainer caus-
ing the inhalation valve to be in the open position.
Verify the inhalation valve is not stuck in the open
position prior to use. Failure to follow this warning
can result in serious personal injury or death.
INSTALLING THE APR STRAP
The APR strap must be used when wearing the FireHawk
M7 Responder APR to keep the breathing tube and canis-
ter securely attached to the body during use. It may be
worn in two configurations:
A: With the canister and breathing tube on the front of the
body. B: the canister and breathing tube positioned on
the rear of the body. To attach the neck strap to the
breathing tube:
1. Loosen both ends of the neck strap by sliding the
strap through the slide.
2. Slide both ends of the neck strap onto the breathing
tube, with the D-ring and clip end towards the canister
connector
3. Position the D-ring and clip end as close to the canis-
ter connector as possible and tighten the strap down
by sliding the strap through the slide. It may be nec-
essary to use a ratcheting motion to completely tight-
en the strap.
Note:
canister connector is opposite the 90 degree elbow
connection.
4. For Configuration A, position the second end of the
APR strap approximately 6-10 inches from the canister
connection end of the breathing tube. For
Configuration B, position the other end of the APR
strap no more than 1/2 inches from the first connection
and tighten, following a similar process as in step 3.
5. Adjust slides on each
part of the neck strap
to fit tightly to the
user’s body.
INSTALLING THE FIREHAWK RESPONDER
REGULATOR
1. Ensure that the Firehawk Responder Regulator sealing
ring is seated properly in its groove on the outlet of
the regulator and that it is not torn, gouged, or nicked.
2. Ensure the dust boot is
on the quick connect
fitting of the Firehawk
Responder Regulator.
3. Grasp the Firehawk Responder Regulator and push
the side buttons.
4. Ensure that the red
bypass knob is fully
closed (clockwise).
5. Insert the regulator into
the facepiece inlet by
pushing inward. Be
sure than the bypass
housing lines up with
the bypass receptacle.
