trained and Certified Overhaul Technicians.
RESPIRATOR MARKINGS
Do not alter or permanently cover over any labels on the SCOTT AIR-
PAK X3 SNAP-CHANGE SCBA or SCOTT AIR-PAK X3 SNAP-CHANGE
SCBA cylinder and valve assembly. If user applied identification
markings are added to the SCOTT AIR-PAK X3 SNAP-CHANGE SCBA
or SCBA cylinder and valve assembly, do not obscure any labels
supplied on the AIR-PAK X3 SNAP-CHANGE SCBA or AIR-PAK X3
SNAP-CHANGE SCBA cylinder and valve assembly. Any user applied
markings must be applied in such a way as will not weaken or damage
the AIR-PAK X3 SNAP-CHANGE SCBA or AIR-PAK X3 SNAP-CHANGE
SCBA cylinder and valve assembly, will not interfere with the proper
function of these assemblies and will not add flammable materials
to these assemblies.
PERIODIC TESTING
SCOTT recommends that this respirator be inspected and tested by a
SCOTT Authorized Service Center using SCOTT Authorized Test Equip-
ment at least once a year. Heavy use and/or severe service conditions
may require more frequent inspection and testing. This recommendation
is in addition to all other cleaning and maintenance procedures.
In addition, all air cylinders used with SCOTT respirators must be periodi-
cally visually inspected and hydrostatically tested by a licensed cylinder
retester. The cylinder inspection and test must be done in accordance
with the appropriate US Department of Transportation (DOT) specifi-
cation or the applicable DOT exemption. See step 2 of the REGULAR
OPERATIONAL INSPECTION section of this instruction.
Because this respirator may be used to support human life in a hazard-
ous atmosphere, do not attempt maintenance beyond that described in
this instruction or in the SCOTT Specialist Level Maintenance Training
Manual. If disassembly or adjustment other than described in this instruc-
tion or the SCOTT Specialist Level Maintenance Training Manual is found
to be required, the respirator must be serviced by a SCOTT Authorized
Service Center in accordance with the appropriate SCOTT Technician
Service Manuals. Service by a SCOTT Authorized Service Center can
be arranged through your authorized SCOTT distributor or by contacting
SCOTT Safety.
SPECIALIST LEVEL MAINTENANCE
The respiratory protection program under which this equipment is used
may elect to train an individual to perform maintenance beyond the routine
cleaning and REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION of the respira-
tor. For this purpose, the SCOTT Specialist Level Maintenance Training
Manual is available on request from SCOTT Safety. This manual contains
additional maintenance information that can be performed someone with
good mechanical ability using standard hand tools. Contact your SCOTT
distributor for details. The information in this manual is not as detailed
or advanced as that which is available to a SCOTT Authorized Service
Center.
