Observe during operation

CAUTION
!
A build-up of heat in the chemical protective suit can
cause the wearer to collapse, therefore, if necessary,
wear a cooling vest or use a suitable cooling system.
Never start a mission alone!
Observe the operating time, limitations or specific national
regulations. The maximum operating time may also
depend on the used respiratory protective device and the
operating conditions.
If no compressed air hoses are connected in protection
suits with ventilation units, close the ports with a protective
cap to avoid contamination.
If you are working with refrigerated media of temperatures
below -40 °C (-40 °F), use suitable overgloves (e. g.
Cryo-Industrial® Gloves by Tempshield, Inc.).
If sight is obstructed by fogging or icing on the inside of the
visor: pull one hand out of the sleeve and wipe visor, e. g.
with a cleaning cloth. The cleaning cloth can be stored in
the inside pocket.
Leave the contaminated area immediately in case of
emergency. Wait to open the fastener system until you
reach a clean area.
