FH1, FH2 & FH21
DONNING
The donning procedures are the same for
FH1, FH2 and FH21. When donned correctly
the browband will be central to the user's
forehead and the head net will sit comfortably
over the user's head/crown.
Glasses should NOT be worn with the FH1,
FH2 and FH21 as this will affect the seal
around the user's face.
When worn correctly the headtops will be
comfortable and a full range of motion will be
achievable.
NOTE
The PAPR must go through a pre-use
check in accordance with the Operating
and Maintenance Instructions manual prior
to use.
The breathing hose must be attached to the
blower prior to donning the Headtop - See
Operating and Maintenance Instructions.
•
While holding the headtop at either side
of the browband, offer your forehead
onto the browband.
•
Pull the neoprene faceseal onto the face
and under the chin using the locating tag
•
With your forehead in the correct position
(the browband should be just above
the eyebrows) slowly ease the head net
onto the top of your head by pulling the
locating tab at the rear.
•
Ensure the head net is fi tted correctly,
not rucked or uneven.
The head net is critical to the integrity of
the headtop
•
Pull the rear of the headtop fully down
into a comfortable and secure position.
•
If using the FH2 or FH21 full cape
versions then pull the cape down fully
until it rests fl at, covering the upper part
of the shoulders, chest and back
•
Ensure that there is a comfortable ten-
sion and contact around the faceseal
with no gaps
•
Test for a good range of motion. The
faceseal should remain in contact with
the face
On initial use the headtop may be too tight
or too loose around the faceseal area.
If this is the case the headtop may be
adjusted to improve comfort and faceseal,
using the adjustment buckle shown in
the drawing page 5. The buckle can be
opened and the elastic either tightened or
slackened to suit. Remember to close the
buckle after adjustment.
