BREATHING TUBE ATTACHMENT TO THE HOOD
To remove or install a breathing tube on a PROFLOW FH22 Hood, proceed
as follows:
REMOVAL
1. Grasp the hose from the outside of the hood right where it enters the hood.
2. Turn the hood inside out to access the hose nut on the inside of the hood.
3. Using the palm of the hand, turn the nut counter-clockwise to remove.
Remove both the nut and the plastic washer. Save the nut and washer
for future use.
INSTALLATION
1. Inspect the hose opening in the hood for any signs of damage that might
interfere with the seal of the hose. If any damage is found, remove the
hood from service and tag for replacement.
2. Hold the end of the hose as above and place the threaded end of the
hose through the opening at the back of the hood. Opening should fit
snug around the threaded end of the hose.
3. Carefully turn the hood inside out to access the end of the hose on
the inside of the hood. Be careful not to bend the Visor Window. See
FIGURE 1.
4. Place the plastic washer on the threaded hose end.
5. Carefully thread the nut onto the hose end. See FIGURE 2. The nut
should thread on smoothly. If it does not, stop and unscrew the nut. In-
spect the threads and verify that they are not damaged.
6. Using the palm of the hand, turn the nut clockwise until hand tight.
USE NO TOOLS TO TIGHTEN. IF THE NUT AND WASHER DO NOT FIT
FLAT WITH NO GAPS IN THE FABRIC, REMOVE THE HOOD AND HOSE
FROM SERVICE AND TAG FOR REVIEW BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
