INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The equipment must not be used;

• If the suit, fan unit, filters or breathing hose are damaged in any

way

• If the fan unit is not running. In this abnormal situation, the

equipment will offer no respiratory protection. In addition there

is a risk of carbon dioxide quickly accumulating in the head

top, which would lead to oxygen deficiency

• If the surrounding air does not have a normal oxygen content

• If the pollutants/hazards are unknown

• In environments that are immediately dangerous to life and

health (IDLH)

• With oxygen or oxygen enriched air

• If you find it difficult to breathe

• If you can smell or taste the pollutants

• If you experience dizziness, nausea or other discomfort

In the unlikely event of defects, do not wear the garment.

Model Information 700 & 704

Feature attached socks which are designed to be worn inside

chemical protective boots (sold separately) with the over flap

positioned over the top of the boot opening.

Attached socks or shoe covers are unsuitable for walking or

standing in chemical spills or pools of liquids.

Model Information 705

Feature attached slip retardant shoe covers which are designed

to allow soft or protective safety shoes to be worn inside and

offer limited resistance to slip but will not eliminate completely

the risk of slipping and/or falling, especially on wet surfaces.

Take care to ensure that the shoe covers are well positioned over

your shoes to obtain the correct contact of the sole to the floor.

*There is no mass carried on the head as worn because the hood

of the suit is inflated around the wearer's head.

Donning/Use Procedure

For safety purposes and to ensure proper closure it is suggested

to have an assistant ("buddy") to help with the donning and

doffing of the suit.

Follow these steps connect the fan unit and filters to the suit (FIG.

illustrations can be found on page 14):

• Having visually inspected the suit for any defects, remove

shoes (models 700 & 704), empty your pockets of any items

that could hinder you or damage the protective clothing.

Shake the garment out (this makes it easier to put on having

been flat packed)

• Fully open the zippers on the suit

• Remove the PAPR fan unit, filters and hose carefully from their

packaging

• Thread the end of the hose without the O-ring (Fig A) through

the self fabric loops on the rear of the suit and the opening

in the neck seal. Insert the hose into the holder and clamp in

place using the washer (all models) and locknut (model 704 &

705 only) provided (Fig B & B2)

• Place the fan unit the correct way up inside the suit and align

the filter threads with the openings in the rear of the suit Fig C

& D

• With the suit and fan unit (inside) laid on a flat surface, align

the filters with opening in the suit and fan unit thread. Attach

the desired filters by applying light pressure and turning

clockwise until tight. Be careful not to over-tighten or you may

damage the fan unit threads. (Fig E)

• Connect the hose to the fan unit, ensuring the hose is not

twisted (Fig F)

Donning the suit & fan unit

• Carefully don up to your waist, ensuring your feet are

positioned correctly in the socks by pushing your toes to the

end.

• Follow the PAPR manufacturer instructions to position the

waist belt comfortably and fasten firmly. Turn fan unit on

• With the help of your dressing assistant, lift the suit up onto

the shoulders and place your arms into the sleeves (Fig G)

• Pull the hood of the suit over your head (make sure the fan

unit is switched on!)

• The dressing assistant should close the inner and outer zips

(Fig H), remove the double sided tape and seal down the

storm flap (Fig I). If necessary and for full liquid & particle

protection the assistant should apply additional adhesive tape

over the edges of the flap. The hood and suit body will now

fully inflate.

• Don your gloves, placing the outer gloves over the outer

sleeve of the coverall and ask your assistant to seal the cuff to

the coverall with self adhesive waterproof tape.

Doffing the suit & fan unit

• Leave the hazardous area before taking the equipment off

• Care should be taken when removing contaminated

garments, so as not to contaminate the user with any

hazardous substances. If garments are contaminated, then

decontamination procedures should be followed (e.g.

decontamination shower) prior to removal of the garment.

• If the suit has been exposed to hazardous chemicals, exercise

proper decontamination procedures before removing.

• Remove the suit by following in reverse order the steps for

donning the suit.

• Upon contamination, wear or damage the garment should be

removed and disposed of properly.

Note: The person assisting in the doffing procedure should wear

appropriate PPE, selected by a competent person

Emergency Doffing/Rip-cord

AlphaTec® PAPR suits are supplied with a "tear-off" strip

positioned on the left shoulder as you wear the suit. Under normal

conditions this can be used as means of rapidly doffing the suit.

Alternatively, the strip can be used in an emergency to enable

rapid doffing.

Grasp the strip with one hand and tear downwards across the

chest. Once torn the fabric can be torn further by using two

hands, if necessary.

Remove arms from sleeves, withdraw head from hood, unfasten

the suit waist belt and regulator and lower the suit to the floor.

Step carefully out of the suit.

Note: Once the rip-cord has been utilised the suit is no longer

operational
