65 to 100 psi. When using an alternate temperature
control device, the respirator must be supplied with 20
cfm of Grade D breathing air at 90 to 100 psi.
WARNING
The compressor must provide adequate output
and the plumbing between the compressor and
the point of attaching the respirator hose must
have sufficient capacity to supply the volume of
air at the pressure required. Restricted air flow
will cause discomfort to the user, and may
result in ingress of hazardous and toxic dust,
subjecting the user to health and life
threatening toxic poisoning and long term
respiratory disease and death.
4.4.3 Pressure Conversion Kit
4.4.3.1 This optional accessory kit contains parts and
instructions to convert an Apollo 600 respirator from high
pressure (65 to 100 psi) to low pressure (6 to 20 psi).
The kit is listed in Section 10.4.
5.0 OPERATION
WARNING
Except for emergency evacuation when the use
of the respirator hinders escape, keep the
respirator on and leave the respirator-use area
immediately if any of the following occur:
 Any part of the respirator system
becomes damaged
 Any air monitoring alarm is activated
 Air flow into the respirator is reduced or
stops
 Breathing becomes difficult
 At the first sign of dizziness, nausea,
fever, illness or injury
 Any contamination is noted by taste,
smell or vision inside the respirator
 Vision becomes impaired
 Any irritation is noted
5.1 Prior to use, thoroughly inspect and clean the
helmet, breathing tube, respirator hose, air-entry ports,
and fittings of all dust and debris. Inspect the helmet
suspension and if necessary adjust it per Section 6.1.
5.2 Start the compressor and open the service valve
to pressurize the air-supply line.
5.3 Check air pressure at the point of attachment.
Set the pressure within the minimum pressure assigned
in Section 4.4 and the maximum of 100 psi. Pressure
must be set with the respirator connected.
5.4 Inspect all safety and breathing equipment used
in conjunction with the respirator as recommended by
the manufacturer.
5.5 Inspect respirator hoses and connections for
tightness and leaks.
5.6 Don the respirator in a clean non-hazardous
environment, free of contaminants, where the air is safe
to breathe.
5.7 When donning and removing the respirator,
keep it upright to prevent dust and abrasive from falling
inside. Holding the chin strap while donning the helmet
will make it easier to position it once the helmet is on.
5.8 Position the chin strap so it fits comfortably
under the chin.
5.9 Position the knit cuff on the inner collar so that it
fits snugly around the neck in turtleneck fashion and
without any interference from clothing or long hair. When
correctly positioned, the smaller elastic end of the collar
must face up.
WARNING
Correct placement of the inner collar is critical
for providing the protection for which the
respirator is designed. The collar must be
positioned and maintained without any
interference from items such as hair, facial hair,
or shirt collars, between the inner collar and
user’s neck.
5.10 Pull the cape down to fully extend it and connect
the four elastic straps (two on each side) under the
arms, and tighten using the slides provided.
5.11 Put on the belt and control valve over the cape.
Buckle the belt around the waist, and tighten it by pulling
the belt end through the buckle insert.
