GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this Safe Escape Trainer is for the user to
become familiar with the donning, wearing, and doffing of
the Safe Escape Respirator.
In the event that the actual Safe Escape Respirator is
deployed, the Safe Escape Respirator is NIOSH approved
for respiratory protection during escape for up to 15 min-
utes from CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and
Nuclear) agents. Inhaled air is drawn through the canister,
which contains adsorbents and a filter that removes or
neutralizes specific contaminants. Exhaled air leaves the
facepiece through the exhalation valve.
The trainer respirator is recommended to supplement the
training presentation and to familiarize the user with the
fitting procedure and operation of the respirator. Review
the instructions and training presentation periodically.
SIZE SELECTION AND TRAINING
The Safe Escape Respirator Trainer is available in three
sizes - small, medium, and large. The size designation can
be found on the Safe Escape Trainer packaging and nose-
cup. A Safe Escape Respirator sizing fit check must be
performed to ensure that the correct size has been select-
ed. The respirator sizing kit, P/N 10066681, will aid in the
selection of the proper respirator size.
Before using the Safe Escape Respirator Trainer, the user
should view the presentation DVD video to obtain neces-
sary instructions and to become familiar with the opera-
tion of the hood.

Before Donning

• Make sure that the properly sized trainer respirator is
being used, refer to the Size Selection and Training
section.
• Remove all jewelry (earrings, necklaces, rings) or other
items that could damage the respirator while donning
and wearing.
• Ensure zippers or other garment objects do not inter-
fere with donning and wearing.
• Perform a visual inspection of the trainer for signs of

wear or damage. If the hood material or components
are torn or cracked, do not use and replace the trainer.
• If the harness snaps are disengaged, engage.
Note: Sharp edges on jewelry or zippers may cause tear-
ing of the hood material.
Donning
1. Remove the trainer from the carton and drawstring
bag.
2. Thread the canister securely onto the hood assembly.
Note: For training purposes only, the training canister is
threaded onto the hood assembly. The actual Safe
Escape Respirator comes with the canister permanently
attached.
3. Secure excess hair by using a hairtie (provided on the
outside of the bag). This will help to eliminate the
potential of long hair interfering with neck seal.
4. Unfold the Safe Escape
Respirator Trainer and
insert both hands
through the neckseal
into the elastic harness.
5. With hands expanded,
stretch the neck seal
outward, and pull the
Safe Escape Respirator
Trainer over the head.
