If the ambient temperatures is 0°C or below external icing can cause malfunction of
the warning whistle. Under such circumstances the pressure gauge must be read more
frequently.When operating with two separate independently valved cylinders both
cylinders must be charged with similar working pressures. Always open both cylinder
valves when pressurizing the breathing apparatus and ensure that both cylinder
valves are kept open during the use of the apparatus.
If the self contained breathing apparatus is to be used in conjunction with other
personal protective equipment it is important to ensure that the additional personal
protective equipment is compatible with the breathing apparatus and does not impair
the full protection of the respiratory protective device.
Examples of dangers which may require the use of additional personal protective
equipment:
-Liquids, steam or gases which can damage the skin
-Pollutants absorptive by skin
-Thermal radiation
-Mechanical effects
-Explosive environments
