MSA Duo-Flo, Инструкция по эксплуатации

user must switch the D/PD exhalation valve to the AIR-LINE position to use the res-
pirator in the air supplied mode of operation. When the air-line is disconnected or if
the air source is lost for any reason, the user must switch the D/PD exhalation valve
back to the FILTER/CANISTER position to again use the respirator in the air purify-
ing mode of operation.
Inhaled air enters the respirator either through the filter or canister or from the air-
line. The inhaled air passes over the facepiece lens, keeping it free from fog, before
it is taken into the lungs. Exhaled air leaves the facepiece through the exhalation
valve and consequently is not rebreathed. A check valve prevents the exhaled air
from passing out through the filter or canister.
Note: Training on the Pressure Demand Duo-Flo Respirator should include a brief
familiarization period where the employee is allowed to use the device in both
modes. This will allow the employee to recognize the higher breathing resistance
associated with the air-line position of the D/PD exhalation valve and allow him/her
to practice switching the valve from one position to the other.
