The SCOTT RIT-PAK III portable air supply must only be used by trained personnel as
part of a complete respiratory protection program. This program must include, but not be
limited to, familiarity with the SCOTT respiratory protection equipment in use within the
program and how the SCOTT RIT-PAK III portable air supply can be used to connect to

Every emergency situation is unique. The users of this equipment must be fully trained to
assess the situation and the risks involved and decide how best to use this equipment.
Special instruction and care is required for use of this equipment. When the system is
pressurized, the LOW pressure air supply hose can release compressed air at 160 psi.
Compressed air pointed at unprotected skin may cause transmission of air into the blood
stream causing air embolism and other tissue damage. Compressed air introduced into a
body cavity may cause serious or fatal injury.
AlwayspositiontheSCOTTRIT-PAKIIIportableairsupplyonasafe,at,levelsurface
wheretheunitorcylinderwillnotshiftorslide.Avoiddirectcontactwithreorame.
Use care when handling the LOW pressure air supply hose or the HIGH pressure air supply
hose to avoid snagging or tangling of the hoses and misuse or damage which could result
in partial or complete loss of breathing air or the uncontrolled release of compressed air.
Any damage to the hoses such as cuts or breakage, or damage to the pressure reducer
assembly or quick disconnects may result in uncontrolled air loss from the respirator.
