GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT AIR-PAK NxG
2
self contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) is a respirator which, when properly maintained and properly
used, is intended to provide respiratory protection to an individual
when entering into, working in and exiting an objectionable, an oxy-
gen deficient and/or unbreathable (toxic) atmosphere.
The SCOTT AIR-PAK NxG
2
SCBA is to be used only by persons
trained in the use of the respirator and only in conjunction with an
organized respiratory protection program. The SCBA is not to be used
for purposes other than authorized by your respiratory protection pro-
gram. For example, this respirator must not be used underwater.
The SCOTT AIR-PAK NxG
2
SCBA consists of, at a minimum, a cylin-
der and valve assembly to store a supply of breathing air under
pressure, a backframe and harness assembly to support the cylinder
and valve assembly and pressure reducer on the body, a backframe
mounted pressure reducer to supply air to the breathing regulator, a
facepiece mounted pressure demand breathing regulator, an approved
SCOTT full facepiece and a head harness to secure the facepiece to
the face. All SCOTT AIR-PAK NxG
2
SCBA's described in this instruc-
tion are equipped with an end of service indicator, a remote pressure
gauge mounted on the wearer's right shoulder strap and an air saver
switch located on top of the breathing regulator. All model respirators
described by these instructions are equipped with shoulder straps,
waist straps and head harnesses made of Kevlar
1
.
The typical facepiece design incorporates a nose cup, two inhalation
valves and dual voicemitter assemblies which are integral parts of the
approved respirator assembly. The facepiece may be readily detached
from the breathing regulator to allow for utilization of the best fitting
facepiece for an individual user.
The approved facepiece utilized by the SCBA's described by this in-
struction is available in a variety of models and sizes. Users of this
respirator must be properly fitted to a facepiece and trained in the
use of that facepiece with the respirator. The facepiece must be fit-
ted using qualitative or quantitative fit testing procedures in
accordance with OSHA Standard 29 CFR Part 1910 (Occupational
Safety and Health Standards). See also ANSI Standard Z88.2. For
testing in the negative pressure mode using equipment such as a
