INTRODUCTION
BB - Not for use in entry into atmospheres immediately
dangerous to life or health.
CC - For entry, do not exceed maximum use concentra-
tions established by regulatory standards.
GG - Direct contact with CBRN agents requires proper
handling of the respirator after use. Correct dispos-
al procedures must be followed.
QQ - Use in conjunction with personal protective ensem-
bles that provide appropriate levels of protection
against dermal hazard. Failure to do so may result
in personal injury even when the respirator is fitted
properly, used, and maintained.
UU - The respirator should not be used beyond eight (8)
hours after initial exposure to chemical warfare
agents to avoid the possibility of agent permeation.
If liquid exposure is encountered, the respirator
should not be used for more than two (2) hours.
VV -
PAPRS with TC-23C approvals may NOT be used
for escape from IDLH atmospheres.
S – SPECIAL OR CRITICAL USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
1. During use of the FireHawk M7 Responder PAPR, the
atmosphere must be monitored for the level of conta-
mination and a means of escape must be provided in
the event that the contamination level increases to
immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) levels.
2. The C420 PAPR must be properly inspected before
use, properly decontaminated, if necessary, after use,
properly cleaned and maintained after use, and prop-
erly stored between uses.
3. The C420 PAPR contains a battery and may not be
taken into or used in atmospheres containing flamma-
ble or explosive gases, vapors, or dusts when the
concentration of such contaminants is near or above
the lower flammable limit (LFL).
4. Do not use the C420 PAPR for firefighting, in oxygen-
deficient atmospheres, or for protection against air-
borne contaminants from which the canister does not
protect.
