9 Special instructions
9.1 Use of an independent air supply (supplied airline
respirator (SAR) connection)
!
WARNING
 Airqualitymustconformtothestatutoryrequirements.
 Useofanairlineconnectionbyasecondperson(buddy-breather)voidsNIOSH
approval.
 Thetime requiredfor the wearer to escapeto asafe area mustbe withinthe
remaining breathing time of the cylinder, taking into account the remaining air
contentinthecylinderandthebreathingrateofthewearer.
Independentairsuppliesmustmeetthefollowingstandards:
● Type-1gaseousairasdenedin:CGACommoditySpecicationforAir,G-71(gradeD
or higher)
● Airsupplypressure:87psito125psi
● Airlinehoselength:5feetto300feet(maximumworkinghoselengthmustnotexceed
12 individual hose lengths)
● Airlineowrate:550liters/minute
● Approvedforuseattemperaturesabove-25°F(-31.7°C).
1. Turnontheindependentairsupply.
2. Connect the independent air supply coupling to the secondary supply hose (see
the PSS Series PneumaticAccessories Instructions for Use 3355853) and breathe
normally.
3. Closethecylindervalve(ifthewhistlesounds,silenceitbytakingseveralshortdeep
breaths or momentarily operating the lung demand regulator bypass button (Fig 2,
Item3)).
4. Ifanyairsupplyproblemsareencountered,proceedasfollows:
 a. Openthecylindervalvetoreturntobreathingfromtheattachedcylinder.
 b. Disconnecttheindependentairsupplycoupling.
 c. Leavethehazardousareabytheshortestandsafestescaperoute,ifnecessary.
9.2 Cautions and limitations
D– Air-linerespiratorscanbeusedonlywhentherespiratorsaresuppliedwithrespirable
airmeetingtherequirementsofCGAG–7.1,GradeDorhigherquality.
E– UseonlythepressurerangesandhoselengthsspeciedintheUser’sInstructions.
I– Contains electrical parts that may cause an ignition in ammable or explosive
atmospheres.
J– Failuretoproperlyuseandmaintainthisproductcouldresultininjuryordeath.

S – Special or Critical Users Instructions
● Approvedforuseattemperaturesabove-25°F(-31.7°C).
● Whenusedasacombinationsupplied-airrespirator/self-containedbreathingapparatus
(SAR/SCBA),notmorethan20percentoftheairsupplycanbeusedduringentry.
● Duringsuppliedairuse,thecylindervalvemustremainclosed.Ifthesuppliedairfails,
openthecylindervalveandimmediatelyproceedtofreshair.
● Suppliedairsourcemustmeetthefollowingcriteria:pressure87psito125psi,airow
rateatleast550liters/minute.
Important Note: If it is decided to exit the working area with the airline disconnected
or, in an emergency, if the air supply fails, breathe normally and immediately
proceed as follows:
● Openthecylindervalve(counterclockwise)slowly,butfully,andbreathenormally.
● Disconnectthehoseoftheindependentairsupplyfromthemalecouplingoftheairline
hoseconnection.Breathenormallyandimmediatelyleavethehazardousareabythe
shortestandsafestroute.
Safety Warning: The remaining duration begins from the time of opening the
cylindervalveanddisconnectingtheindependentairsupply.Thetimerequiredto
allow the wearer to escape to a safe area must be within the remaining air capacity
(volume)ofthecylindertakingintoaccountthebreathingrateofthewearer.
