3.0 PREPARATION
3.1 Adjust Helmet Suspension per Section 6.1.
3.2 Prepare Lens System
WARNING
Never use the respirator without a complete
lens system in place. A complete lens system
includes the fixed inner lens and intermediate
lens. The fixed, inner lens provides support for
the window gasket. If the gasket is not
adequately supported, leaks can occur which
could permit entry of toxic and hazardous dust
or abrasive into the helmet.
3.2.1 The lens system is an important part of the
respirator assembly. The helmet is supplied with an
inner lens that is secured by the lens gasket. To protect
the inner lens, an intermediate lens and perforated outer
lenses are securely held in position by the window
frame. Always use an inner lens and an intermediate
lens with the respirator. The perforated outer lens is
optional, and protects the intermediate lens from rapid
frosting.
3.2.2 When the perforated outer lenses are correctly
installed, as one lens becomes frosted during blasting, it
can be torn off to expose the next lens. To protect the
inner lens, make sure the perforated and/or intermediate
lens(es) are in place per Section 9.1.
3.3 Breathing Tube Assembly
CAUTION
Note the directional flow arrows on the labels at
both ends of the breathing tube. The flow
arrows indicate the direction of air flow to the
helmet. Flow arrows must point toward the
helmet. Failure to properly attach the breathing
tube may damage the tube's acoustical foam,
which will block air flow, or it may increase
noise levels beyond OSHA limits.
