Scott AIR-PAK 75i 2.2 Operating & Maintenance Instructions page 4

CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT
Respirators reduce but do not eliminate all exposure to the hazardous
atmosphere. Some facepiece/respirator combinations are more effec-
tive than others at reducing exposure depending on the nature and the
concentration of the contaminant in the hazardous atmosphere. When
choosing a respirator and facepiece, the respiratory protection program
under which this respirator is to be used must determine the appropriate
level of protection that the facepiece/respirator is expected to provide.
Use of inappropriate RESPIRATOR equipment for the work environ-
ment may result in exposure to the hazardous atmosphere which
may cause serious injury or death.
The respiratory protection program must also take into consideration the
levels of exposure which may be hazardous irrespective of respiratory
protection (e.g.: contaminants which are toxic through exposure to un-
protected skin). Additional protective equipment such as apparel may be
required. However, any additional protective equipment must not interfere
with access to or operation of the respirator.
When properly donned and operated, the SCOTT ISCBA respirator pro-
vides limited protection from airborne contaminants to only the respiratory
system and part of the face of the user. The using agency must provide
the appropriate protective clothing for use with the ISCBA respirator and
must insure that protective clothing does not interfere with the operation
of the ISCBA respirator.
NIOSH approval is granted to respiratory protection equipment made up
of specific combinations of parts or assemblies that have been success-
fully tested to the performance standards established by the approval
agencies.
To maintain NIOSH approval, an AV-3000 facepiece equipped with a Sure-
Seal face seal P/N 31001738 (Small), P/N 31001739 (Medium), or P/N
31001740 (Large) must be used only with Grey Nose Cup P/N 31001043
(Small), P/N 31001044 (Medium), or P/N 31001045 (Large).
If you are using an AV-3000 facepiece equipped with a SureSeal face seal
and do not have a Grey Nose Cup, contact SCOTT or your authorized
SCOTT distributor. Failure to comply with this requirement will void the
approvals for your respirator. Use of a non-approved configuration in a
hazardous atmosphere may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING
THE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM
UNDER WHICH THIS EQUIPMENT IS TO BE
USED MUST DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE
LEVEL OF PROTECTION THAT THE RESPI-
RATOR IS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE. USE OF
INAPPROPRIATE RESPIRATOR EQUIPMENT
FOR THE WORK ENVIRONMENT MAY RE-
SULT IN EXPOSURE TO THE HAZARDOUS
ATMOSPHERE WHICH MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING
THIS RESPIRATOR PROVIDES PROTEC-
TION ONLY TO THE USER'S RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM AND TO PART OF THE FACE. IF
THE HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE CONTAINS
TOXINS OR CONTAMINANTS WHICH MAY
POISON THROUGH THE SKIN, ADDITIONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT MAY BE RE -
QUIRED. FAILURE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE HAZ-
ARDS IN THE WORKPLACE MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
