DONNING
There must be a continuous flow of air when the
bypass knob is opened. If not, do not use the appara-
tus. The SCBA must be checked and the condition
corrected by an MSA trained or certified repairperson
b
efore it can be used. Failure to follow this warning
c
an result in serious personal injury or death.
Note:
If the air mask passes all tests, the unit is ready to
use. Remember, you must perform these tests every time
before you enter the hazardous atmosphere. If the unit
fails to meet any of the tests, the condition(s) must be
corrected before using the apparatus.
INSTALLING THE FIREHAWK PUSH-TO-CONNECT
MASK MOUNTED REGULATOR
1. Grasp regulator and insert regulator into facepiece
adapter by pushing inward. Check proper engagement
by pulling on the regulator to ensure regulator is
securely attached to facepiece adapter.
Do not use the SCBA unless the regulator is connect-
ed properly. A regulator that is not installed correctly
can separate from the facepiece unexpectedly. Return
the SCBA to an MSA trained or certified repairperson
to correct the condition. Failure to follow this warning
can result in serious personal injury or death.
2. Inhale sharply to start the airflow.
3. Check the bypass again by turning the red knob
counter-clockwise until you feel increased air flow.
Close the bypass.

USING THE AIR MASK
Periodically check the pressure indicated on the
NightFighter Heads-Up Display System or ICM Unit pres-
sure gauge. It continually displays the cylinder pressure.
When the needle reaches the red zone, the Audi-Larm
A
larm with URC Assembly will begin ringing and
N
ightFighter Heads-Up Display System or ICM Unit
G
auge will begin to light or tone. When the bell starts
ringing or when the pressure reaches approximately 25%
of the rated service pressure, return to fresh air.
NightFighter Heads-Up Display System, ICM Unit Gauge,
and Audi-Larm Alarm with URC Assembly activate when
cylinder pressure drops below approximate values:
530psig-approximately for low pressure
750psig-approximately (3000:psi system)
1175psig-approximately for high pressure
When the NightFighter Heads-Up Display System, ICM
Unit Gauge or Audi-Larm Alarm activates, immediately
return to fresh air.
Note: Apparatus service life is reduced greatly when the
bypass is used.
PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
Periodically check the pressure indicated on the remote
gauge.
• Reduced air flow: Immediately open the bypass.
Immediately return to fresh air.
• Air mask free-flows: Immediately return to fresh air.
• Audi-Larm Alarm with URC Assembly Rings:
Immediately return to fresh air.
• NightFighter Heads- Up Display System Low Volume
Indicator Lights and Flashes: Immediately retur
n to
fresh air.
• ICM Unit Gauge Lights and Flashes: Immediately
r
etur
n to fresh air.
Do not use a 2216psi Air Cylinder on a 3000psi operat-
ing system. Such a configuration is not approved by
NIOSH. Failure to follow this war
ning can r
esult in
serious personal injury or death.
