S - SPECIAL OR CRITICAL USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Approved for use at temperatures above -25°F. Approved
only when the compressed-air container is fully charged
with air meeting the requirements of the Compressed Gas
Association Specification G-7 for quality verification level
(grade) D air or equivalent specifications. In fire service
applications, MSA recommends breathing air quality in
accordance with NFPA 1989. The cylinder shall meet
applicable DOT specifications.
Do not alter this air mask. Altering will void the Intrinsic-
Safety rating and may affect the Intrinsic-Safety of the
device. Misuse or abuse of the FireHawk M7 HUD or I-
HUD, FireHawk M7 Control Module, FireHawk M7 Power
Module, or NightFighter
®
HUD Transmitter, or using this
equipment in a manner or situation not intended by the
manufacturer, may result in damage to the FireHawk M7
HUD or I-HUD, FireHawk M7 Control Module, FireHawk M7
Power Module, or NightFighter HUD Transmitter, may result
in personal injury or death to user or persons dependent on
the user. Always inspect the FireHawk M7 HUD or I-HUD
for damage before use. If damage is found, immediately
remove the device from service. The FireHawk M7 HUD or
I-HUD, FireHawk M7 Control Module, FireHawk M7 Power
Module, and NightFighter HUD Transmitter are approved
intrinsically-safe and conform to UL/ANSI 913 for use in
Class I, Div. I, Groups C and D hazardous locations, tem-
perature rating T1.
Use the air mask with adequate skin protection when worn
in gases and vapors that poison by skin absorption (for
example: hydrocyanic-acid gas). In making renewals or
repairs, parts identical with those furnished by the manu-
facturer under the pertinent approval shall be maintained.
Refer to NIOSH approval matrix P/N 10129040.
Do not mark the air mask, i.e., with stamps, labels, paint,
or other method. Use of such markings may interfere with
apparatus use or may constitute a flammability hazard.
