3.13 Standard Operation; 3.14 Emergency Operation - MSA PremAire Cadet Escape G1 Operating Manual

3.13 Standard Operation

(1) Don the apparatus and check for proper operation as described in the "Donning" section of this
manual.
(2) Breathe normally.
DO NOT open the cylinder valve knob unless in an emergency escape application; doing so while
connected to an air source could result in depleted cylinder pressure and a decreased escape time.
DO NOT enter any area which requires an escape greater than the service life of the cylinder.
Cylinder life varies with the work rate of the individual and may be shorter with heavy work loads.
Misuse can result in serious injury or death.
The emergency-escape air cylinder must not be used to provide respiratory protection while entering
the working area. Entry must be made only when connected to the primary air source through the
air supply hose.

3.14 Emergency Operation

If the air supply is interrupted:
(1) Completely open the cylinder valve by turning it counter-clockwise.
(2) Disconnect the attachment hose from the air supply hose.
(3) Immediately return to fresh air.
If the bypass valve is used when breathing from the emergency-escape air cylinder, the respirator
service time will be reduced.
