•
Warning: Only use the KITE with the blower switched on. In the power-off state no
respiratory protection is to be expected, and there will be a rapid build up of carbon
dioxide and depletion of oxygen may occur.
•
For reasons of hygiene, the KITE should preferably be used by one individual.
•
Use additional hearing protection.
3.2 Working field
•
The area in which the KITE is to be used must have an oxygen content of at least
19%.
•
Warning: Do not use the KITE where dangerous gases and/or vapours are present.
•
Inadequate warning characteristics of dangerous substances require special rules of
use.
•
Warning: Do not use the KITE in closed rooms, confined spaces, non ventilated
containers, excavations and small rooms.
•
Air flow speeds of more than 2 m/s can affect the protection factor.
•
In the case of physical exertion it is possible that there may be a temporary negative
pressure in the air hood which leads to a reduction in the protection offered by the
system.
4 Use
4.1. Charging the battery
•
New KITE units are delivered with a battery in uncharged
state.
•
Connect the charger with the charging plug in the
bottom of the blower unit. Connect the charger to the
mains power supply (100-240V AC).
•
The red LED on the charger will be flashing during
charging.
•
When the battery is fully charged, the red LED will light
continuously.
•
It will take approximately 4 hours to charge a new or fully discharged battery.
•
The micro-controller inside the charger prevents damage to the batteries when the
charging time is exceeded.
•
The charger is for indoor use only and should be used and stored in a dry place.
•
The running time of a fully charged battery in combination with a new KITE filter is
approximately 7 hours.
•
Warning: never charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
