If the flow is still insufficient, return the
complete respirator to an approved
distributor for repair.
Remove the flow indicator and replace the
filter cover.
WARNING:
DO NOT use respirators that fail the
Flow-test.
WEARING
WARNING:
Before using the respirator, ensure
that a new filter has been firmly
screwed into place, the battery is fully
charged and the flow-test has been
satisfactorily completed.
Donning:
Attach the battery to a waistbelt through
the loop retainer.
Insert the plug on the end of the cable
into the battery socket and rotate
clockwise to the intermediate OFF
position.
Check that the filter is firmly attached to
the facemask and remove the filter cover.
Adjust all head harness straps to the fully
slackened position and place the
neckstrap around the neck.
With thumbs inside the facemask, put
chin into facemask first and pull the
straps over the head. Position the
facemask so that chin fits snugly into the
chin-cup.
Fig. 4
Gently tighten the head harness, lower
straps first (see
Fig. 4
). DO NOT over-
tighten.
Leak-test Facemask:
Place the filter cover or palm of the hand
over the filter’s louvred entry port.
Inhale gently until the facemask collapses
slightly against the face.
Hold your breath for 10 seconds. If the
facemask falls away from the face, the
correct seal has not been achieved.
Remove the filter cover or palm of the
hand, adjust the facemask, re-tighten the
head harness strap and repeat the
previous procedure.
When a correct seal is achieved, remove
filter cover or palm of the hand.
WARNING:
DO NOT use respirators that fail the
Leak-test.
Proceed with the tasks to be performed.
WARNING:
DO NOT remove the facemask until
well clear of the hazard area.
CLEANING
WARNING:
When cleaning the respirator, suitable
precautions must be taken against the
inhalation of any harmful dusts and
contaminants that may be present on
the outer surfaces.
CAUTIONS:
•
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning
materials.
•
DO NOT use: detergent,
petroleum spirit, chlorinated
degreasing fluids (e.g.
trichloroethylene) or organic-
based solvents to clean any part
of the apparatus.
At the end of each work shift, the
respirator must be cleaned and if
necessary, decontaminated. These
procedures must always be carried out in
a safe area.
Disconnect the plug from the battery.
