Prerequisites for use
WARNING
Death or danger of severe injury!
The chemical protective suit will not provide protection if the
contaminant load in the environment is too high or there are
certain contaminants in the environment.
► The environmental chemical load must be determined
prior to use, since the suitability of the chemical protective
suit must be determined before its use. The chemical
protective suit must only be used for suitable purposes.
WARNING
Death or danger of severe injury!
If the chemical protective suit is not used in compliance with
the valid standards and directives for the respective country,
this may result in death or severe injury.
► The user must consider national and other requirements
for the use of personal protective equipment.
4.2
Instructions on using the fastener
system
The fastener system has been developed especially for the
chemical protective suits. Generally, the additional seals
make mobility more difficult in comparison to zip fasteners on
normal clothing. To prevent creases in the fastener system,
the protective suit wearer must grasp and pull the fastener
system to the hood, while a second person pulls the trouser
leg with the fastener system down using both hands until the
fastener system is free of creases. The protective suit wearer
should be standing upright when opening and closing the
fastener system.
CAUTION
Danger of damage to the fastener system!
Fastener systems without sufficient lubrication are more
difficult to operate. This can result in damage to the fastener
system.
► The two zip halves must be parallel, unstressed and
opposite each other.
► Do not use force when opening and closing the fastener
system or jerk the zip.
► Lubricate the fastener system using the grease stick
supplied by Dräger.
4.2.1 Opening the fastener system
– Fully open the fastener system.
– Always pull the zipper tab in the direction of the zipper
mechanism; never pull diagonally!
– Do not use force. Zip elements can become bent!
– If the zipper tab gets caught, pull it back and push it
forward again.
4.2.2 Closing the fastener system
– When closing the fastener system, avoid diagonal forces
on the zip.
– Pull the zip sections together by hand.
The zip can be pulled up gently along the section that is
being pulled together.
22
– Foreign objects (e.g. shirt, jacket, threads) must not be
trapped between the zip elements.

Preparations for use
4.3.1 Preparing the chemical protective suit
Dräger recommends that you keep the flat bags in which
the chemical protective suit was delivered for later storage
purposes.
1. Check for leaks before using the suit for the first time in
order to detect any damage due to transport. Then follow
the maintenance intervals.For further information see:
"Maintenance table", page 24.
WARNING
Death or danger of severe injury!
Using damaged chemical protective suits may result in death
or severe injury.
► Do not use a damaged chemical protective suit.
2. Place the chemical protective suit flat on the ground and
inspect visually.For further information see: "Visually
inspecting the chemical protection suit", page 24.
3. If fitted, check the function of the ventilation unit and the
connection to the compressed air breathing apparatus.
4. Treat the full face mask visor from outside using "klar-pilot"
anti-fogging gel. Use the spray "klar-pilot" Comfort for
coated mask visors. If the suit is not fitted with an anti-fog
visor, also treat the inside of the visor.
4.3.2 Putting on the chemical protective suit
Get a second person to assist you with putting on the
chemical protective suit.
1. Put on underclothing (moisture-wicking work clothing,
cotton gloves).
Dräger recommends tucking the trouser legs of the
underclothing into the socks to prevent the trouser legs
shifting. To prevent the cotton gloves slipping down, they
should be fixed using insulation tape on the wrist.
2. Put on the compressed air breathing apparatus and full
face mask.
3. Put on the safety helmet or mask/helmet combination.
4. Check proper functioning of compressed air breathing
apparatus, full face mask, and mask/helmet combination
as described in the relevant instructions for use.
5. If the chemical protective suit is equipped with gas-tight
integrated socks:
a. Without shoes, first step into the right trouser leg, then
into the left trouser leg.
b. Don the safety boots.
6. If the chemical protective suit is equipped with gas-tight
integrated safety boots: Without shoes, first step into the
right trouser leg and into the safety boot, then into the left
trouser leg and the safety boot.
7. Pull up the chemical protective suit to the waist.
8. If the chemical protective suit is equipped with a
ventilation unit:
a. Connect the air supply inside the chemical protective
suit.
b. Close the integrated waist belt.
