IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO USER
Please read this information carefully before referring to the apparatus instructions.
The S9 and S9 Incurve breathing apparatus should only be used by adults in good
physical and physiological condition.
The S9 and S9 Incurve SCBA must be used in a manner consistent with NFPA 1500,
Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program.
The face mask may not seal properly with your face if you have a beard, heavy
sideburns or other physical characteristics interfering with the mask’s contour.
An improper facial seal may allow non-respirable air to leak into the mask, reducing
or eliminating respiratory protection. The seal must be tested before each use.
Before occupational use of this respirator a written respiratory protection program
must be implemented meeting all the local government requirements. In the United
States employers must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 which includes medical
evaluation, training, and t testing.
OSHA 1910.134 requires that before any employee uses a positive pressure tight-
tting facepiece, they must pass an appropriate qualitative or quantitative t test
initially and at least annually thereafter.
Do not use S9 and S9 Incurve in an emergency/rescue situation unless you have
received proper training in its use, have read and understood this Instruction manual
and demonstrated prociency to a responsible teacher or supervisor. Special attention
must be given to:
• face seal
• test before use
• awareness of different durations at different conditions
• emergency situation (loss of air and free air ow)
• procedure at low-air alarm.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Only holders of a valid INTERSPIRO Service Certicate may service and test S9 and
S9 Incurve apparatus.
Failure to comply with these special points can result in respiratory
injury or death for the user and may have serious consequences for
people to be rescued and/or items of value to be saved.
