How to use the fastener system

The fastener system has been specially developed for the
chemical protective suits. Generally, the additional seals make
mobility more difficult in comparison to zip fasteners on normal
clothing. To prevent creases in the fastener system, the
protective suit wearer must grasp and pull the fastener system
to the hood, while a second person pulls the trouser leg with
the fastener system down using both hands until the fastener
system is free of creases. The protective suit wearer should be
standing upright when opening and closing the fastener
system.
CAUTION
!
To prevent damage to the fastener system, both
halves of the zipper must be in parallel and
unstressed. Do not use force when opening and
closing the fastener system or jerk the zipper.
Fastener systems without sufficient lubrication are
more difficult to operate. This can damage the fastener
system. Lubricate the fastener system using the
grease stick supplied by Dräger.
3.4.1 Opening the fastener system
Fully open the fastener system.

Always pull the zipper tab in the direction of the zipper

mechanism; ensure that the fastener system is pulled in a
straight line!
Do not use force. The chain links could become twisted!

If the zipper tab gets caught, pull it back and push it forward

again.
