Claims of any kind for damages caused by improper use are excluded.

2.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse

The unit must not be used in an atmosphere that is immediately hazar-

dous to user hygiene or health and or has oxygen content of less than 17 %

or contains unknown substances.

• in confined spaces or unventilated areas such as tanks, pipes, canals etc.,

• near to flames and or sparks,

• in areas with danger of explosion,

• in an area where there are high winds

2.3 Personnel requirements

Work may only be performed by a trained specialist. All personnel involved

must be instructed with regard to the safety requirements, safety regula-

tions and operational instructions which must be applied in their work.

2.4 Hazards

The warning and safety notices listed here and in the operations chapters

of these instructions must be observed in order to prevent potential harm

to health and hazardous situations.

Hazard by lack of oxygen (<17 %)

When the blower unit is switched off a rapid buildup of carbon dioxide and

depletion of oxygen within the head unit may occur

The user is advised to leave the contaminated area immediately if:

• TheManufacturer‘sMinimumDesignFlow(MMDF)warningAlarm

sounds.

2.5 Warranty clause

If any of these conditions are not kept or followed, the warranty is automa-

tically invalid.

Nothing is allowed to touch the moving parts.

There is no attempt to modify or alter the unit or filter in any way. No wa-

ter or other Iiquids enter the unit in any way - in particular the motor and

fan, the filter or the battery.

Make sure that the headpiece fits the user‘s face perfectly. Only then the

efficiency of the system is sufficient. The protective factor of the complete

system is reduced if the seal of the headpiece is not fitted properly, for e.g.

due to beards or long hair intervening into the seal line.

There is a possibility that the hose to the head unit may become caught up

in use. The blower unit should be positioned on the person in such a way

as to reduce this possibility.

Filters cannot be fitted directly to the head units and should not be adap-

ted to do so. Correct respiratory protection will not be provided if any parts

of the equipment are modified. At very high work rates the pressure in the

device may become negative at peak inhalation flow. Blower unit systems

are for use only by competent, trained personnel.

Filters should not be modified to fit different blower units.

WARNING!

2.6 Warranty

The blower unit is guaranteed for a period of 12 months from date of

purchase against mechanical or electrical defects.

The battery is guaranteed for a period of 6 months from the date of

purchase.

This guarantee is subject to:

• The blower unit has been used solely for the purpose for which it is

intended.

• The blower unit has not been subject to misuse, accident, modification

or repair.

In the event of a claim, contact the retailer from which the blower unit

was purchased. This guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear. This

guarantee does not affect your legal rights.

similar container, such that it is out of direct sunlight, not in contact with

solvents and cannot be damaged by physical contact with hard suriaces/

items.

Do not store:

• outside the temperature range of +O°C to +40°C or

• humidity above 75%RH

4. Unpacking / Assembly

4.1 Unpacking

Check that the package is complete and that no part is damaged due to

the transport or for other reasons.

A package with the complete system including accessories contains:

1. Blower unit incl. Battery and P R SL Filter and Pre Filter

2. Belt

3. Air hose

4. Air flow indicator

5. Battery charger

6. User Instructions

4.2 Assembly

Attach the respiratory unit onto the belt: Pass the inner strap through

the back of the blower loops. The pass through the 2 belt loops and then

through the buckle. Fit the battery to the Blower unit.

4.2.1 Waist-Belt Adjustment

Put the belt around your waist with the blower unit to the back and fasten

the two ends together. If the belt is too loose, slide the male adjuster down

the belt, towards the female half. If the belt is too tight, slide the male ad-

juster away from the female half.

Repeat the above processes until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved.

Once the belt fits correctly, secure any excess belt material using the velcro

sections.

4.2.2 Particulate Filter

Use only filters and Pre-Filters as supplied by CLOOS. It should first be

ascertained by consulting an occupational hygienist or by calling the ma-

nufacturers technical help line as to whether or not the CLOOS Filter will

offer suitable protection from the hazard.

The respiratory power unit is equipped with a high efficiency particle

filter class PRSL and a Pre-Filter. As soon as the warning alarm sounds, the

Pre-FiIter should be exchanged or checked. In very dusty areas this can be

necessary on a frequent basis.

The filters must be regularly checked (see „Air Flow Test“) and replaced.

Make sure that the new filters are within their expiry date, unused and

not evidently damaged . From the hygienic point of view the maximum

working time of a main filter is 180 hours and should not be exceeded. It is

prohibited to clean the filters by any procedure!
