Note: The following instructions are for
the FH6/FH62 headtops and breathing hoses.
These instructions must be used alongside the
Operating and Maintenance Instructions for
the chosen PAPR systems.
Note: The life of a headtop has many
factors that make it difficult to predict service
life. Therefore the
inspected carefully before and after each use
to ensure that it has not become damaged. As
a guideline we would anticipate that a headtop
used indoors and for 'occasional' use would
have a service life of about five years, provided
that the equipment is stored and maintained
correctly.
HOSES
Inspect the breathing hose for any signs of
creasing and ensure that it is not torn.
Ensure that both ends of the breathing hose
are free from dirt or debris and that there is no
damage to either ends.
For a T/POWER / Duraflow / Proflow hose
check that the O-ring is in place and in good
condition.
Note: O-rings and gaskets on all hoses
should be replaced at least annually.
HEADTOP & HELMET
Check that the headtop is in a good, clean
condition, free from any damage and is not
torn; paying attention to the hose inlet, also the
browband and head harness.
Inspect the visor for any signs of damage,
and ensure visor is free from deep scratches,
cracks or crazing.
