PRE-OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
Important: Please Read Carefully and Fully Understand
Keep Instructions For Future Reference
Improper use of this equipment may result in Personal Injury or Death. Improper use
includes, but is not limited to, use without adequate training, disregard of the warnings
and instructions contained herein, and failure to inspect and maintain this Respiratory
Protective Equipment. Read and understand all instructions before attempting to
operate this equipment.
This equipment is intended to be used only in conjunction with an organised
Respiratory Protection program.
Before using this equipment, read the contents of EN529:2005 and familiarise yourself
with the requirements for Respiratory Protective Equipment and their potential effects
on the wearer.
PAPR system users must be familiar with workplace hazards prior to using the
equipment and must be fully trained in the use of the apparatus.
Scott Safety headtops must be used with a Scott Safety blower, unless otherwise
directed. Read this manual, the PAPR manual, Scott Safety Filter manuals, prior to
using this equipment.
The blower must be fitted with the correct range of filters which are appropriate for
the workplace hazard.
This product must only be used with filters manufactured by Scott Safety. The use
of any other filters will negate the approval and will be likely to reduce the level of
protection provided.
Do NOT confuse EN12941 and EN12942 filter markings with filter markings relating to
other EN standards.
Do NOT use a PAPR in confined spaces, oxygen deficient atmospheres (<19%), oxygen
enriched atmospheres (>23%), or where there is an immediate hazard to life or health.
Local regulations may apply.
Do NOT use if the ambient temperature is outside of the range -10
Humidity levels up to 95% RH do not present any operational problems.
Do NOT use if the apparatus is damaged. The headtop and air hose must be inspected
on every occasion before use to ensure that no damage of any kind is evident which
could cause leakage or reduced levels of protection. A monthly inspection of the
apparatus is a mandatory requirement in the UK under COSHH regulations and
inspection on a monthly basis is strongly recommended for all other countries.
Protection will only be obtained if the equipment is fitted correctly.
Protection levels may be reduced if wind speed exceeds 2 meters per second.
In the unlikely event that the PAPR fails while in a hazardous area, there may be an
increase of carbon dioxide and contamination within the headtop. LEAVE THE AREA
IMMEDIATELY.
Scott Safety headtops can be used in certain explosive and flammable atmospheres
when used with a an approved blower which is marked as intrinsically safe. It is the
employers responsibility to ensure that the intrinsic safety approval is compatible with
the particular environment.
At very high work-rates, pressure in the apparatus may become negative at peak
inhalation flow.
Filters must not be fitted directly to the headtop.
