4 Use
4.1

Prior to use

The chemical protective suit must be used in accordance with the applicable
standards and directives of the country in question.
The environmental chemical load must be taken into account before use as it is
not permissible to determine the suitability of the chemical protective suit during
usage. The chemical protective suit must only be used for suitable purposes. The
user must use the chemical protective suit in accordance with national or other
applicable PPE requirements.
4.2

Instructions for the USA

The chemical protective suit must be used in accordance with NFPA 1500 and
29 CFR 1910.132.
4.3

Instructions on using the closure system

The closure system has been developed especially for the chemical protective
suits. Generally, the additional seals make mobility more difficult in comparison
with zips on normal clothing. To prevent folds forming on the closure system, the
open section of the closure system must be free of tension and operated without
being twisted. At the same time, the closed area must be held tight by the hand.
The protective suit wearer should be standing upright when opening and closing
the closure system.

solid chemicals

For detailed information see
"Description" on page 11
CAUTION
!
To avoid damage to the closure system, both zip halves must be
parallel and under no strain. Do not use force when opening and
closing the closure system or jerk the zip.
Closure systems without sufficient lubrication are more difficult to
operate. This can result in damage to the closure system. Lubricate
the closure system using the grease stick supplied by Dräger.
4.3.1 Opening the closure system
 Fully open the closure system.
 Always pull in the direction of the zip mechanism; never pull diagonally!
 Do not use force. Zip elements can become bent!
 If the slider gets caught, pull it back and then forward again.
4.3.2 Closing the closure system
 When closing the closure system, avoid diagonal forces on the slider.
 Pull the zip sections together with your hand.
It is then easier to pull the slider.
 Foreign objects (e.g. shirt, jacket, threads) must not become trapped
between the zip elements.
 Lubricate the closure system well after every use. Use only the grease stick
sold by Dräger to do this.
4.4

Preparing the chemical protective suit

 Place the chemical protective suit flat on the ground.
 Check the chemical protective suit (see section 5 on page 13).
Use only chemical protective suits that are clean and dry.
WARNING
!
Do not use chemical protective suits that are damaged or have already
been contaminated. Failure to observe this instruction could result in
death.
 Treat the visor of the full face mask and of the chemical protective suit inside
and out with an anti-fog agent (see section 9 on page 15) in order to prevent
fogging.
4.5

Putting on the chemical protective suit

NOTICE
i
i
Get a second person to assist you with donning the suit.
1. Put on underclothes (breathable and sweat-absorbing work clothing) and, if
necessary, cotton gloves.
2. If necessary, secure the cotton gloves at the wrist with insulating tape to
prevent them from slipping down.
3. Put on the SCBA and the full face mask and check their functionality
4. Put on the protective helmet or mask/helmet combination.
5. Check that the full face mask is sealed and functioning
6. Without shoes, step through the open zip into the trouser legs and into the
socks.
7. Pull the chemical protective suit up to the waist and fasten the belt.
8. If the chemical protective suit is equipped with the Dräger Air-Connect
ventilation unit, connect the medium-pressure hose with the automatic
switch-over valve or Y-piece or connect directly to the SCBA.
9. Pull the hood over the head and insert your right arm into the right sleeve
and glove. Slide the backpack of the suit over the respiratory protective
device. Slip the left arm into the left sleeve and glove.
10. Put on the protective boots.
WARNING
!
Protective boots must always be worn over the socks as the socks do
not provide sufficient protection against mechanical stress.
11. Pull the cuff over the protective boots.
12. Make sure that the cylinder valve on the SCBA is open.
13. Connect the lung demand valve to the full face mask.
14. Fully close the closure system or get someone to close it for you. Always pull
the slider in the direction of the zip mechanism. Do not use force!
15. Close the cover flap.
16. If necessary, put on overgloves and fix in place with the associated rubber
ring at support ring level.
