1 Description
The rescue hood RespiHood is made of a flame retardant and self-extinguishing material. It is
air supplied via a 1.5 meter airline ending in a silencer inside the hood. Located at the other
end is a male coupling, which for use is connected to the second- man connection of a com-
pressed-air breathing apparatus.
The rescue hood is delivered in a flame retardant, spray water protected belt pouch, which
preferably is attached to the breathing-apparatus hip belt.
The rescue hood is in conformity with the Directive 89/686/EU.

Take the rescue hood out of the belt pouch. Connect rescue hood male coupling to the
breathing apparatus medium-pressure line coupling (second-man connection), see also oper-
ating mode Medium-pressure line coupling. Pull hood over the head of the person to be res-
cued. Observe that the hood visor faces to the persons front and that the air discharge is lo-
cated in the persons oral-nasal region. Pull sealing cord by the cord-stopper closely around
neck and throat of person to attain a tight fit.
3 Doffing the hood
Release cord by its cord-stopper and pull rescue hood off. Now disconnect the hoods male
