3. PREPARATION FOR USE
Prior to donning the apparatus the wearer
shall conduct the following procedures to
ready the apparatus for use.
3.1 Maintenance Tag Inspection
Locate and inspect the maintenance tag that
should be attached to the apparatus. Verify
that all items on the tag are properly dated
and initialed.
If the maintenance tag is
missing or not properly completed the
apparatus MUST NOT be placed into
service until full turn around
maintenance has been completed as
specified in the BioPak 240R Benchman
Manual.
3.2 Mask Preparation
The
AV3500
or
PRO PP
mask
DOES NOT
require the application of anti-fogging agents
of any kind.
If the optional magnetic wiper is utilized,
soak both chamois surfaces of the wiper
pieces with water and install onto the lens of
the facemask so that the chamois side of
each piece is in direct contact with the lens.
3.3 BioPak Positioning
Prop the BioPak to a level position as
depicted above. This provides for greater
ease of work on the BioPak.
3.4 PCM Installation
Install the PCM canister into the center
section between the two scrubber locations
as shown below.
3.5 Carbon Dioxide Scrubber Installation
Inspect the “use by date” of the carbon
dioxide scrubber to ensure that it is current.
Record the carbon dioxide scrubber serial
number and “use by date” date onto the
maintenance tag or affix the scrubber label
to the back of the tag.
