will last.
Once in a safe atmosphere, press the reset button on
the demand valve and close the air valve on the
cylinder.
Remove the mask and replace the cylinder with a fully
recharged one.
Contact your local HSS Hire for a replacement unit.

EQUIPMENT CARE

Never push the equipment beyond its design limits. If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease and
speed, assume you have the wrong tool for the job.
Contact your local HSS Hire for advice.
Keep the equipment clean – you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere clean,
dry and safe from thieves.

FINISHING OFF

Remove the apparatus as described in basic techniques
and give the unit a final clean up ready for return, to
your local HSS Hire.
Cleaning
The operator has a duty of care to ensure the
equipment is returned clean of any potentially
harmful contaminants. Equipment that has not been
cleaned will not be accepted back by HSS.
