HSS Hire Safe & Sure Airline Escape Set SS026 Operating & Safety Manual

Once the mask is fitted, take a deep breath to
activate the demand valve.
Try to keep your breathing as normal as possible,
the calmer your breathing the longer the cylinder
contents 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 close the air supply.
If during use, the main air supply fails you will
hear an audible warning whistle. Upon hearing
the whistle, the user should open the reserve
cylinder valve fully (anticlockwise).
In the event that you may have to use the unit, do
not panic, this may lead to fumbling and wasting
precious time.
There is approximately 10 minutes of breathable
air in one cylinder.
If the reserve cylinder has been used, contact your
local HSS Safe and Sure Depot for a replacement
unit.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never expect the equipment to protect you
beyond its design limits. If it is the wrong type for the
situation DO NOT rely on it. Contact your local HSS Safe
and Sure Depot for advice.
Handle the equipment with care. Avoid dropping it,
knocking it, or otherwise exposing it to damage.
Never subject this equipment to prolonged
exposure to excessive moisture,
dangerous/corrosive chemicals.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
NOTE: clean with soapy water ONLY, do not use
solvents.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
FINISHING OFF
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.
Remove the apparatus as described in 'BASIC
TECHNIQUES' and give the unit a final clean up
ready for return, to your local HSS Safe and Sure
Depot.
