Pre-Use Checks - Scott Safety FH6 Manual Del Usuario

The following instructions are for the FH6 and FH61 headtops and breathing
hoses. These instructions must be used alongside the Operating and
Maintenance Instructions for the chosen PAPR.

PRE-USE CHECKS

Note
The life of a helmet has many factors
that make it diffi cult to predict service life.
Therefore the headtop should be inspected
carefully before and after each use to
ensure that it has not become damaged.
As a guideline we would anticipate that a
helmet used in the proximity of solvents
must be replaced at least every two years.
Helmets used only occasionally may be
replaced after approximately fi ve years.
Hoses
• Inspect the breathing hose for any signs
of creasing and ensure that it is not torn
or damaged
• Ensure that both ends of the breathing
hose are free from dirt or debris and that
there is no damage to either ends
• For a Spirit hose check that the red
locking collar on the breathing hose
female connector works correctly and
is free from damage, ensure that the
witness marks are aligned with the
opening in the black collar and ready
to place over the air outlet on the Spirit
blower
Note
• For a Tornado/Profl ow hose check
that the 'O' ring is in place and in good
condition
Headtop & Helmet
• Check that the headtop is in a good,
clean condition, free from any damage
and is not torn; paying attention to the
hose inlet, also the browband and head
harness
• Inspect the visor for any signs of
damage, and ensure visor is free from
deep scratches, cracks or crazing
• Make sure that there are no blemishes,
solvents or paint that may obscure vision
• Ensure that the breathing hose latch is in
the unlocked position (centre)
• Ensure the visor is correctly mounted in
the face shield, with no gaps around the
edges
• On the FH61 check that the welding
shield and fl ip up lens housing is in good
condition, free from distortion.
• On the FH 61 Ensure the lens housing
sits correctly onto the welding shield and
there are no gaps visible
• Check that the face seal is correctly fi xed
to the face shield at all points and has
the correct tension
• Fully loosen the handwheel at the rear of
the helmet to facilitate donning
• Extend the visor fully
'O' rings and gaskets on all hoses should
be replaced at least annually.
