STORAGE OF THE RESPIRATOR
1. Check to ensure gasket is present between facepiece and mask-
mounted regulator and is not damaged.
2. Connect the regulator to the facepiece. With the red purge valve in
the 12 o'clock position, align the two flats of the outlet port with cor-
responding flats in the facepiece port and insert. Rotate the regulator
counterclockwise (viewed from inside of facepiece) so that the red
purge valve knob is situated on the left side of the facepiece. The
lock tab on the mask-mounted regulator will lock into the facepiece
retainer with a "click." If properly engaged, the regulator will not ro-
tate.
3. To reattach a breathing regulator equipped with a quick disconnect to
the respirator. See FIGURE 4.
4. Verify that the respirator is thoroughly dry before placing in stor-
age.
5. Place the clean and dry facepiece in a sealable enclosure to pro-
tect until next use. Store in a manner that will not distort the face
seals.
6. Place the respirator in the carrying case, protective container, or in
a suitable storage location.
7. If any damage or deterioration is noted, remove the respirator from
service and tag for repair.
8. Where an SCBA, its spare components or related equipment are
stored or carried within a vehicle, such items shall be secured by
either a positive mechanical means designed to hold the item in its
stowed position, in a compartment with a positive latching door, or in
a closed container suitable to transport and contain the SCBA and/
or its spare components and associated equipment. The mechanical
means of holding the SCBA, its spare components and associated
equipment in place, the compartment or the closed container shall be
designed to contain the SCBA, its spare components and associated
equipment and thereby minimize the possibility of injury to persons in
or near the vehicle during movement of the vehicle, especially during
rapid deceleration or rapid acceleration of the vehicle, sharp turns or
an accident.
