Termination Of Use - Scott RIT-PAK III Operating And Maintenance Instructions Manual

TERMINATION OF USE

Transport the respirator user to an area where respiratory protection is no longer needed.
If the respirator user is breathing from the air supplied by the RIT-PAK III portable air sup-
ply, determine when it is safe to remove the respirator support from the user and proceed
with other care of the respirator user as needed.
If reuse of the RIT-PAK III portable air supply may be required immediately:
1. Close the cylinder valve and vent the residual air from the system to allow
the electronics to shut down and preserve battery life. Vent the system one
of two ways:
a) On the HIGH pressure air supply hose, press the VENT button in the
center of the dust cover on the high pressure coupling,
b) If a breathing regulator is attached to the LOW pressure air supply hose,
open the purge valve on the breathing regulator to vent.
2. Check the equipment for any damage that may have occurred while the RIT-
PAK III portable air supply was in use. If any damage is found that may be
critical to the operation of the unit, remove the unit from service and tag for
repair by authorized personnel.
3. Return the air supply hoses and optional Emergency facepiece and Emergency
breathing regulator to their proper storage locations in the bag.
4. Replace the breathing air cylinder with a full cylinder.
5. Make sure all covers are securely sealed and that all straps are properly
attached.
If use of the RIT-PAK III portable air supply is no longer needed:
1. Perform the tasks listed above.
2. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section of this instruction for cleaning instruc-
tions.
3. Perform a complete REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION before returning
the unit to service.
4. Carefully follow the instructions for storage of each of the air supply lines
and the optional Emergency facepiece and Emergency breathing regulator
to assure that they can be properly deployed when they are needed.
