Do not use the device to evacuate silos or confined spaces generally.
Do not use if carbon monoxide is present (CO).
The device leaktightness depends on the size and shape of the user's face, e.g.
beard, sideburns, deep scars, could all affect the perfect leaktightness between the
mask edge and the face.
It is a disposable filter that must not be used more than once.
The half‐mask allows wearing goggles.
The respiratory protection device must be chosen considering the concentration
and type of pollutant that protection is needed against.
No protection is given against any type of gas or vapour.
The respirator must be changed when breathing resistance becomes unbearable.
The respirator must be used for one work shift only.
The respirator can be used in explosive environments.
4. USE
4.1. Before use
Visually check the half‐mask before using it. If the mask or filter looks damaged, do not
use the respirator. Always check the expiry date on the container label. Expired
respirators must not be used.
4.2. Use
See Fig.1 and Fig.2
Place the half‐mask over your face, pass the harness around your neck taking care that
the straps do not get twisted, as shown in fig. 1, then adjust them by pulling the ends,
not too tight, until the mask is perfectly tightened (fig. 2).
A leaktightness test can be performed: cover the filter with both hands and breath out hard.
If any air passes through the facepiece, position it better and tighten the harness more.
5. STORAGE
The materials used have excellent anti‐age properties. However, it is advisable to store
new, packaged respirators in a well‐ventilated storage rooms at normal room temperature.
Do not expose them to direct sunlight or temperatures below ‐20°C or above +50°C.
Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures could reduce the product shelf life.
The maximum life for an escape respirator is 10 years, as shown on the packaging label.
Dispose of the escape respirator after 10 years (see the half‐mask production date
printed inside it).
It is advisable to keep new devices in their original packaging during transport and storage,
to protect them from shocks and dust. Do not place heavy items on top of the device
because they could damage and deform it.
6. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance serves to reinstate the respirator, so it can be used again.
