Useful Life; Replacement Kits - MSA FireHawk II Instrucciones Para El Uso Y Cuidado

When storing an air mask with the FireHawk Rescue Belt
II installed at cold temperatures, it is recommended that
the waist belt be adjusted to the smallest waist size. At
extreme cold temperatures, the waist pad materials may
become stiff and could impede the adjustment of the
waist belt during donning at these temperatures.

USEFUL LIFE

The useful life of the FireHawk Rescue Belt II is 10 years
when properly stored, or carried on an air mask, in an
environment not exposed to UV or degrading elements as
indicated above. The useful life of the belt assembly and
rope on Rescue Belt II units used for training varies
depending on the frequency of use as follows:
Excessive and/or weekly use: 3-6 months
Occasional Use: 1-2 years
Seldom Use: 2-5 years
The date of manufacture can be found on the waist belt
label and on the rope label located near the sewn eye of
the rope.
Remove the Rescue Belt II from service when it reaches
the useful life above, or sooner if it fails to meet the
inspection criteria. Replacing the belt assembly and/or
rope will restore the useful life for those components.

viceable. Replacement kits can be found in the Replace-
