Observe during use
CAUTION
Danger to health!
A build-up of heat in the chemical protective suit can cause a
circulatory collapse.
► If necessary, wear a cooling vest underneath or use a
suitable ventilation system.
– Never start a mission alone!
– Observe the period of use, operation limits, and specific
national regulations. The maximum usage period may also
depend on the respiratory protective device used and on
the operating conditions.
– If no compressed air hoses are connected in protective
suits with ventilation units, close the ports with a protective
cap to avoid contamination.
– When working with cryogenic media, use suitable
overgloves (e.g., Cryo-LNG™ from Tempshield, Inc.) and
1)
underclothing.
– If sight is obstructed by fogging or icing on the inside of the
visor: Pull one hand out of the sleeve and wipe the visor,
e.g. with a cleaning cloth. The cleaning cloth can be stored
in the inside pocket.

Instructions for use
|
Dräger CPS 6900
1. Leave the contaminated area and have the chemical
protective suit precleaned with the aid of a helper. The
helper must also wear protective clothing, and breathing
apparatus where necessary. For precleaning, Dräger
recommends using plenty of water to which a detergent
has been added. This will sufficiently wash away most
chemicals (acids, alkalis, and organic and inorganic
substances).
2. Clean the chemical protective suit thoroughly for a
sufficient time. Avoid spreading chemicals.
3. In the event of contamination with hazardous substances,
dispose of the waste water in line with the relevant waste
water disposal regulations.
4. If necessary, carry out decontamination in several steps.
