Description/Intended Use
The helmet/mask combination is a breathing connection conforming to
DIN EN 136 Parts 1 and 10, and consists of the Heros

If the leak-proofing is inadequate: check the seal line on your face.
Beards and sideburns in the mask's seal will cause leaks. Full-face
masks should not be worn by anyone with facial hair of this kind.
Spectacle frames in the area of the mask seal will also cause leaks.
Use special mask spectacles. Check that the fire helmet fits securely,
and adjust the width or height settings if necessary
mask unless it is leakproof.
Checking the exhalation valve:

Connect the compressed air breathing apparatus or breathing
filter
Extreme operating conditions

possible. Check for leaks with extra care. Treat the inside of the visor
with the anti-misting agent "klar pilot gel"
In case of high temperatures: If the visor is damaged, leave the
danger zone immediately.
In the presence of chemicals: Certain substances, e.g. H
Rosenbauer GmbH
phosgene, may be absorbed by the material of the mask and may in
same cases diffuse through it.

a water screen.
