After you pull the plug, quickly check the breathing
hose to make sure it isn’t kinked or twisted. Then put
the mouthpiece inside your lips and outside your
teeth. Grip the rubber bite lugs on the inside of the
mouthpiece with your teeth. This is the only safe
position for your mouthpiece. Don’t let any air leak
between the mouthpiece and your lips. You want to
keep smoke and gases out and the oxygen in.
3
All tight? All right. Now exhale deeply into the
mouthpiece. With a functional
SCSR
, your breath
would start the chemical reaction that would give
you all the oxygen you need. With the
SR-D
, you will
breathe the air around you through the perforated
mouthpiece.
Your breathing bag will not inflate.
4
Take slow, deep breaths, and stay calm. With a
functional
SCSR
, breathing would take extra work, and
the temperature of the air in your mouthpiece would
slowly rise.
From now on, don’t remove your mouthpiece for any
reason. No talking — if you have to communicate, do it
in writing or with hand signals.
NOSE CLAMP THIRD
1
To make sure smoke and gases stay out of your lungs,
and oxygen stays in, seal your nose tightly with the
nose clamp attached to the mouthpiece. Pull the clamp
apart by pinching the rubber cones on each side,
pulling the spring apart.
2
Press the rubber pads against the sides of your nostrils
to clamp your nose shut.
GET READY TO MOVE
1
Put the
SCSR
goggles on. Need eyeglasses? Wear them
over the goggles. Tuck your eyeglass side pieces under
the goggles strap.
2
Tighten the neck strap to take the weight off the
mouthpiece and breathing hose.
3
Pass the chest strap around your back and clip it to the
chest strap hook. Tighten the strap so that the
SR-D
is
snug against your chest.
4
Put your hard hat back on.
Those are the basics of
SCSR
donning practice with the
SR-D
.
