lmportant
Rules
during Escape
- Stay
calm when
leaving
the danger zone; do not
rush.
-
Plan
your escape
to
be sure that you chose the shonest route
on
your
way
to safe ambient
air.
-
Do not panic. Panìc causes
hasty, shallow breathing
which
uses
up
more oxygen.
- Make sure
to
keep
the mouthpiece firmly gripped
between teeth and
lips and
to
keep
your lips closed tight.
-
Warm and
dry air
coming from the
oxygen
self-rescuer
is a
sign that the
unit
¡s
functioning properly. You might not¡ce that the air coming from
the oxygen self-rescuer has
a
strange taste, but this is normal and
harm-
less.
- Take
care
not to
waste lifesaving
oxygen
by
damaging or squashing the
breathing bag.
- lf
you need to
vomit,
take the mouthpiece out
of
your mouth and
use
your thumb to hold
it
shut. Do
not
vomit into the
oxygen self-rescuer.
Do
not inhale again before putting
the mouthpiece back into your
mouth to
prevent an intake of toxic air from the environment.
