TERMINATION OF USE
Termination of use of the respirator occurs when the user leaves the contaminated area
and does not intend to make reentry. To terminate the use of the PROFLOW 2 respirator
proceed as follows: The respirator removal must be done in a fresh air environment after
thorough decontamination. To doff the facepiece (i.e.: remove the facepiece and terminate
respiratory protection) proceed as follows:
1.
Exit the area requiring respiratory protection and proceed to decontamination if
necessary.
2.
When it is safe to remove the respirator and handle it:
a)
Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
b)
Remove the facepiece by loosening the head harness straps and extend them to
full outward position. Straps are loosened by lifting the buckle release assem-
blies, while moving the facepiece away from the face to maintain tension on the
straps. Remove the facepiece by pulling the head harness up and over the head.
Do not remove the facepiece by pulling on the breathing tube assembly.
3.
Disengage the belt buckle by squeezing the top and bottom tabs of the buckle assem-
bly toward the center of the buckle and remove the belt and blower assembly.
4.
Unthread and remove air filtration elements. Air filtration elements are intended for
one use only and must be disposed of on termination of use. Do not dispose of air
filtration elements as ordinary trash. See DISPOSAL OF AIR FILTRATION ELEMENTS
AND BATTERIES section of this instruction.
5.
After termination of use and decontamination of exterior of the respirator, if necessary,
the respirator must be cleaned and inspected before the next use. See INSPECTION,
CLEANING AND STORAGE section of this instruction.
