6. Put the suspension on your head.
7. Center the lens for your best vision.
8. Secure the chin strap (optional
accessory) under your chin.
9. Straighten the knit collar for a
good fit around your neck.
10. Waist-length hood only: Attach tie-
downs around your waist. Use a
slip knot in case the air flowing to
the hood stops.
You are now ready to use the respirator.
Remove the hood and return to fresh
air immediately if air flow stops or
breathing becomes difficult. Failure
to follow this precaution may result
in serious personal injury or death.
Setting the Air Flow on the
Adjustable Valve-Connector
1. Push in on the adjusting knob,
then turn the knob.
2. Turn knob fully clockwise (up) for
minimum air flow.
3. Turn knob fully counterclockwise
(down) for maximum air flow.
Note
The adjusting knob varies air flow but
does not reduce flow below the
required minimum 6 cfm so long as
the proper pressure is supplied to the
inlet of the air-supply hose.
USING THE RESPIRATOR
Do not use the respirator if air cont-
aminants are unknown, immediately
dangerous to life or health, or you
cannot escape without respiratory
equipment. The Versa-Hood
Respirator does not afford protec-
tion if the air source fails.
Do not use the respirator as an
underwater device. The respirator
does not supply oxygen.
If exposed to contaminants which
can be absorbed by the skin, wear
clothing which will prevent the con-
taminant from contacting the skin.
Return to a safe atmosphere and
discard the respirator immediately
if discoloration, crazing, blistering,
cracking or other deterioration of
the respirator system are observed.
Remove the respirator at once if the
flow of air stops or drops noticeably.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
Keep the respirator away from hot
sparks and flames. Respirator
materials will burn. Failure to follow
this precaution may result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
Do not use the respirator if you can-
not see through the lens. Pull the
cover lens off when it gets dirty or
scratched. Pull tab near your left eye.
Do not remove the respirator in a
contaminated area. The contaminant
will stay in the air in the work area.
Return to a safe atmosphere before
removing the respirator. Failure to
observe this precaution may cause
inhalation of the contaminant.
Removing the Cover Lens
Remove the cover lens when it gets
too dirty for acceptable vision.
1. Pull on the loose tab near your left
eye.
2. Hold the hood in place with your
other hand as you pull.
Removing the Respirator
1. Release the chin strap if used.
2. Waist-length model: Untie the waist
tie-downs.
3. Lift the back of the hood over your
head.
4. Remove the support belt.
5. Turn off the air source.
6. Hang the respirator up to prevent
damage to the lens or hood
material.
MAINTAINING THE RESPIRATOR
Regular maintenance is necessary to
assure proper protection. Maintenance
includes inspection of all parts of the
respirator and parts replacement as
necessary. NIOSH approvals require
regular inspection and maintenance.
Worn or damaged parts must be
replaced. See the parts list for correct
replacement part numbers.
