How to use the fastener system

The fastener system has been specially developed for the
chemical protective suits. Generally, the additional seals make
mobility more difficult in comparison to zip fasteners on normal
clothing. To prevent creases in the fastener system, have a
second person pull the trouser leg with the fastener system
over the safety boots using both hands until the fastener
system is free of creases. The protective suit wearer should be
standing upright when opening and closing the fastener
system.

clothing against infective
CAUTION
!
To prevent damage to the fastener system, both halves
of the zipper must be in parallel and unstressed. Do not
use force when opening and closing the fastener
system or jerk the zipper.
Fastener systems without sufficient lubrication are
more difficult to operate. This can damage the fastener
system. Lubricate the fastener system using the
grease stick supplied by Dräger.
4.1.1 Opening the fastener system
Fully open the fastener system.
Always pull zipper tab in direction of zipper mechanism;
ensure that the fastener system is pulled in a straight line!
Do not use force. The chain links could become twisted!
If the zipper tab gets caught, pull it back and push it forward
again.
4.1.2 Closing the fastener system
When closing the fastener system avoid pulling the zipper
tab sideways.
Pull fastener chains together by hand.
Then the zipper tab will slide more easily.
Make sure that no foreign objects such as shirt, jacket,
threads, etc. get caught between the links of the chain
when closing the fastener system.

order to detect any damage due to transport. Observe
the maintenance intervals thereafter (see Chapter 7.1 on
Page 27).
2. Place chemical protective suit flat on the ground and
examine visually (see Chapter 7.2 on Page 27).

Do not use a damaged chemical protective suit. If you
do, you risk death or serious injury.
3. If fitted, check the function of the ventilation unit and its
connection to the self-contained breathing apparatus.
4. Apply the antimist agent "klar-pilot" to the outside of the full
