-
Do not use the H 900 A2B2E2K2P3 and H 900 A2B2E2K2HgP3 hoods if carbon monoxide is present (CO).
-
The devices are for single use only and must not be reused a second time. They must be disposed of or sent to
Spasciani SPA or authorized workshops for regeneration.
-
The device leaktightness depends on the size and shape of the user’s face, e.g. beard, sideburns, deep scars, could
all affect the perfect leaktightness between the half-mask edge, the collar and the face.
-
Users with long hair must make sure to completely cover it with the hood to ensure sealing.
-
The presence of eyeglasses could make it difficult to wear the hood. It is recommended to take them off before using the device.
-
These devices are not recommended for users having narrow neck (circumference < 260 mm, such as children), since
the necessary sealing could not be achieved.
-
The respirator can only be used for leaks or self-preservation operations and only if there is a risk of toxic substances even
in high concentrations, thanks to the large capacity of the filter in not very high concentrations.
-
The device provides limited protection against solvents with low boiling point.
-
As soon as you smell or taste the pollutants, leave the area: this means the filter is saturated.

USE
4.1
Before use
Check the package before use. Do not use the respirator if the seal seems compromised. Do not use the respirator if
the bag is opened or damaged. Always check the expiry date on the label on the bag.
4.2
Use (See Fig.1, 2, 3)
•
Open the bag by gripping with one hand the part marked with the "SPASCIANI” logo and pull stron
gly downward
with the other hand until the sealed part opens completely, as shown in Fig.1. Should the bag not get opened the
first time, grasp directly the flap of the bag and open.
•
Pull out the hood by the fabric; avoid pulling by the valve or by the elastic strap; follow the indications given shown in Fig.2.
•
Wear the hood as shown in Fig.3: enlarge the elastic collar using both hands; position and pull the hood over the
head until it fits properly.
No special adjustment is required since the elastic strap causes the half-mask to adhere to the face of the user. If the
mask is not correctly positioned, grasp it by the filter and pull forward to position properly the mask so that it adheres
perfectly to the mouth and nose. The hair must be completely covered by the hood.
•
Once the hood is on the user’s face, identify the escape route. Breathe calmly.
4.3
After use
The hood used in an atmosphere with contaminants should be disposed, together with the exhausted filter (see par.
7). If you have worn it but you have not come into contact with a polluted atmosphere and only the packaging is no
longer intact, the cap can be sent to SPASCIANI SPA for an examination and possible restoration of the device.
Always contact SPASCIANI before sending the devices to be restored.
5.
MAINTENANCE / EXPIRY DATE
The maximum life of the complete hood is 10 years. When the expiry date of 5 years is reached, as indicated on the
label applied to the bag or if the vacuum-sealed aluminum bag is damaged, the product must be sent to Spasciani or
to the authorized workshops, which will check the weight of the sealed product; in the event of significant variations
in weight, the filter will be replaced (using the restoration kit). After verification, the useful life of the hood will be
extended by another 5 years and an additional label will be affixed to the bag indicating the month and year of the
next expiry. Respirator maintenance must only be carried out by specialised trained personnel and using only original
Spasciani spare parts. Always contact SPASCIANI SPA for assistance and maintenance.
6.
STORAGE / TRANSPORT
The materials used possess excellent anti-ageing qualities. It is, however, recommended to store the new packed
respirators in ventilated warehouses, at normal room temperature. Do not expose to direct sunlight and to
temperatures lower than -20°C or higher than +50°C. When carried on the belt, avoid immersing the container in water
or exposing it to heat sources. Extreme temperatures for long periods could affect the product performances. It is
recommended to keep the new devices in their original packaging during transport and storage, so as to protect them
from possible impacts and exposure to dust. Avoid overlapping heavy objects on the device to prevent them from
getting damaged or deformed.
It is recommended to keep the new devices in their original packaging during transport and storage in
order to protect them from possible impacts, rubbing exposure to dust.
7.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Dispose of the worn filter and the escape protective hood in compliance with the local regulations regarding disposal
of special wastes.
