4. DONNING
PROCEDURE
4.1 DON APPARATUS
Note:
Specialist Users (such as Emergency
Services) may operate alternative
donning procedures that conform to the
relevant statutory regulations and have
been approved by Scott Health and
Safety Limited.
1. Check that the Pro-Pak and
facemask harnesses are fully slackened
and that the DV is connected to the
facemask.
2. Hang the facemask round the neck
by its neck-strap.
3. Pass the right arm through the
shoulder strap and swing the harness
across the back and slip the left arm
through the shoulder strap.
4. Pull down on the shoulder strap
ends until the apparatus fits comfortably
then close the waist-belt and tighten the
slide buckle.
Note:
If the waist-belt is closed first, tightening
the shoulder straps will pull up the waist-
belt, causing discomfort.
4.2 CHECK DV / OPEN
CYLINDER VALVE
1. Check that the flat on the DV
bypass knob aligns with the DV outlet and
press the black reset button.
2. Open the cylinder valve slowly with
your right hand, whilst holding the
pressure gauge in your left (on Duo Sets,
open only one cylinder valve). Check that
the pressure gauge reads 80% FULL
(170 bar for 200 and 207 bar cylinders
and 240 bar for 300 bar cylinders).
WARNING:
When opening a cylinder valve, DO
NOT use the high-pressure hose as
leverage.
