Installing The Push-To-Connect Regulator - MSA G1 SCBA Operating Manual

Installing the Push-to-Connect Regulator

WARNING!
DO NOT use the SCBA unless the regulator is connected properly. A regulator that is not installed
correctly can separate from the facepiece unexpectedly.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
There must be a continuous flow of air when the bypass knob is opened. If not, do not use the SCBA.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
NOTE: If the SCBA passes all tests, it is ready for use. These tests must be performed every time
before entering a hazardous atmosphere. If the SCBA fails to meet any of the tests, the condition(s)
must be corrected before using the SCBA.
(1) Grasp the regulator and insert it into the facepiece by
pushing inward.
If properly aligned the bypass knob will show on the
right side of the user's facepiece.
(2) Check proper engagement by pulling on the regulator
to ensure that the regulator is securely attached to
facepiece.
(3) Inhale sharply to start the air flow.
(4) Check the bypass again by turning the red knob
counter-clockwise until increased air flow is felt. Close
the bypass.
