•
Warning: Only use the Kite Pro with the blower switched on. In the power-off state
no respiratory protection is to be expected, and there will be a rapid build-up of
carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen may occur.
•
For reasons of hygiene, the Kite Pro should preferably be used by one individual.
•
Use additional hearing protection when needed.
3.2 Working field
•
The area in which the Kite Pro is to be used must have an oxygen content of at least
19%.
•
Warning: Do not use the Kite Pro where dangerous gases and/or vapours are present.
•
Inadequate warning characteristics of dangerous substances require special rules of
use.
•
Warning: Do not use the Kite Pro in closed rooms, confined spaces, non-ventilated
containers, excavations, and small rooms.
•
Warning: Do not use the Kite Pro where explosive gases and/or vapours are present.
•
Air flow speeds of more than 2 m/s can affect the protection factor.
•
In the case of physical exertion, it is possible that there may be a temporary negative
pressure in the air hood which leads to a reduction in the protection offered by the
system.
•
For reasons of comfort the advised usage temperature is between + 5 °C and + 35 °C.
