SARANEX HOOD
ASSEMBLING THE SARANEX HOOD PAPR
1. Remove the suspension by pulling the Velcro
®
strips
apart, then pull the suspension out of the hood.
2. Check the end of the
hood coupling nut for
an O-ring.
The O-ring must be present to obtain an air-tight seal.
Failure to follow this warning can cause inhalation of
the contaminant, resulting in serious respiratory injury
or death.
3. Thread the breathing tube onto the hood. Hand-tight-
en the coupling nut.
ADJUSTING THE HOOD SUSPENSION
1. Loosen the Velcro strip
at the back of the sus-
pension by pulling the
strip away from the
plastic band.
2. Position the suspension so that the stitching on the
sweatband is down.
3. Place the sweatband against your forehead and wrap
the plastic band around your head for a snug but
comfortable fit.
4. Press the Velcro strips
together to secure the
suspension.
INSTALLING THE HOOD SUSPENSION
Note:
If the optional chin strap will be used, install it at
this time. The chin strap must be attached to the hood
suspension before the suspension is installed in the hood.
1. To install the chin
strap, insert one end of
the strap in the slot
located at the side of
the suspension. Then
insert the remaining
end of the strap in the
slot on the other side.
2. Insert the suspension into the hood.
3. Turn the suspension so that the sweatband faces the
hood lens.
4. Attach the three Velcro
strips on the suspen-
sion to the three strips
inside the hood.
DONNING THE SARANEX HOOD PAPR
Do not wear this respirator unless you have received
training in its use and have read all of the instructions.
Do not use this respirator in an area that has less than
19.5% oxygen. The PAPR does not supply oxygen. You
will suffocate. Do not use the respirator as an under-
water device. You will drown. Do not use the respira-
tor in an atmosphere containing poisonous gases or
vapors. Do not use the respirator if the air contami-
nant is unknown, immediately dangerous to life or
health (IDLH), or you cannot escape without respirato-
ry equipment. Respirator cartridges are designed to
provide limited protection from specific contaminants.
See the filter cartridge label for specific information.
If you are working with a contaminant which can be
absorbed by your skin, wear protective clothing that
will not allow the contaminant to contact your skin.
