Pre-Use Checks - Scott Safety FH2 Gebrauchs- Und Wartungsanleitung

FH1, FH2 & FH21
The following instructions are for FH1, FH2 and FH21 headtops and
their breathing hoses. These instructions must be used alongside the
Operating and Maintenance Instructions for the chosen PAPR.

PRE-USE CHECKS

Other than the addition of the neck cape the
FH1, FH2 and FH21 are similar in operation
and in design, therefore the following instruc-
tions are applicable to all in the series.
Note
The life of a headtop has many factors
that make it diffi cult to predict service life.
Therefore the headtop should be inspected
carefully before and after each use to
ensure that it has not become damaged.
As a guideline we would anticipate that a
headtop used indoors and for 'occasional'
use would have a service life of about
fi ve years, provided that the equipment is
stored and maintained correctly.
HOSES
• Inspect the breathing hose for any signs
of creasing and ensure that it is not torn
• Ensure that both ends of the breathing
hose are free from dirt or debris and that
there is no damage to the thread on the
male end
• Test the smooth operation of the rotating
spacer, it should rotate through 360
• Inspect the breathing hose nut and
washers, check that the nut threads
freely over the male breathing hose
connector
Note
• For a Spirit hose check that the red
locking collar on the breathing hose
female connector works correctly and
is free from damage, ensure that the
witness marks are aligned with the
opening in the black collar and ready
to place over the air outlet on the Spirit
blower
• For a Tornado/Profl ow hose check
that the 'O' ring is in place and in good
condition
o
'O' rings and gaskets on all hoses should
be replaced at least annually.
