piece and Emergency breathing regulator.
The facepiece is a special configuration of a SCOTT Model AV-3000 SureSeal facepiece.
The facepiece is not a NIOSH or NFPA approved configuration and is intended ONLY for
emergency use as part of the RIT-PAK III portable air supply. The Emergency facepiece
has no nose cup or voicemitters and it has a special head harness.
Inspect the Emergency facepiece as follows:
1. Inspect the facepiece seal and other rubber components for deformation,
wear, damage, or cracks.
2. Check that all harness anchors are present, firmly attached, and do not ro-
tate.

impair the operation of the facepiece or the user’s vision.
4. Inspect the facepiece port for damage where the regulator/adapter attaches.
Inspect the two (2) support tabs and the facepiece around the mount for
cracks or other signs of damage.
