PRE-USE CHECKS

Note The following instructions are
for the FH1, FH2 and FH21 headtops
and their breathing hoses. These
instructions must be used alongside
the Operating
Instructions for the chosen PAPR.
Note The life of a headtop has many
factors that make it difficult 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 five
years, provided that the equipment is
stored and maintained correctly.
Other than the addition of the neck
cape the FH1, FH2 and FH21 are
similar in operation and in design,
therefore the following instructions
are applicable to all in the series.
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°.
FH1, FH2, FH21
and Maintenance
Inspect the breathing hose nut and
washers, check that the nut threads
freely over the male breathing hose
connector.
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/Proflow/Duraflow
hose check that the 'O' ring is in place
and in good condition.
Note
'O' rings and gaskets on all
hoses should be replaced at least
annually.
