INTRODUCTION
Quick-Connect Type Connection P/N 10026542, Hansen
Threaded Type Connection P/N 10026543) when installed
on an MMR Air Masks are approved for use as a combi-
nation apparatus. When installed on an SCBA, that SCBA
becomes a combination-type apparatus for respiratory
protection during entry into and escape from oxygen-defi-
c
ient atmospheres, gases, and vapors when not more
t
han 20 percent of the cylinder’s rated capacity is used
d
uring entry.
Air Hose: When used as a combination apparatus, the
device shall be supplied with respirable air through air
supply hose with a minimum length of 8 feet and maxi-
mum length of 300 feet within the pressure range of 85-
90psig. A maximum of 12 sections of straight or uncoiled
air supply hose may be used in making up the working
length of hose. When using coiled hose, a maximum of 6
sections may be used and each section is considered to
be 50 feet long. Hose sections vary from 8 feet to 100 feet
lengths. The air-line connection to the apparatus is to be
made through approved Quick-Disconnects only. The
purity of the air supply is the responsibility of the user. The
respirator is approved only when the air supplied meets
the requirements of the Compressed Gas Association
Specification G-7. 1989 quality verification level (Grade) D
for Gaseous Air.
Do not Transfill (be a Donor) using a 3000psi URC
Assembly. The 3000psi URC Assembly has a check
valve that does not allow cylinders to Transfill (be a
Donor). Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious personal injury or death.
Using the 3000psi URC Assembly to fill cylinders, the
cylinder can only be filled to 2216psig. If the pressure
exceeds 2216psig a relief valve in the URC Assembly
will vent at approximately 2525psig or as low as
2400psig. A 3000psig cylinder can only be filled to
3000psig by using a secondary air source; the 3000psi
URC Assembly can not be used for filling a 3000psig
cylinder. Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious personal injury or death.
Use with adequate skin protection when worn in gases
and vapors that poison by skin absorption (for example:
hydrocyanic-acid gas). In making renewals or repairs,
parts identical with those furnished by the manufacturer
under the pertinent approval shall be maintained. NIOSH
Appr
oval Information for non CBRN approved r
espirators
is included as a supplement to these instructions (P/N
10024128).
Approval for use against CBRN chemical warfare agents
is maintained only when using approved components and
following instructions listed on the NIOSH approval sup-
plement (P/N 10044165).
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR RESPIRATORY PROTEC-
TION PROGRAM ADMINISTRATORS
1. An adequate respiratory protection program must
include knowledge of hazards, hazard assessment,
selection of proper respiratory protective equipment,
proper facepiece sizing and fit testing, instruction and
training in the use of equipment, inspection and main-
tenance of equipment, and medical surveillance. [See
OSHA regulations, Title 29 CFR, Part 1910. 134 (c).]
2. This SCBA may be used only after proper instruction
and training in its use as specified in NFPA-1500 and
OSHA regulations Title 29 CFR, Part 1910. 134.
3. This SCBA must be secured by a positive mechanical
means if stowed within an enclosed seating area of
fire department vehicles, or in a compartment with a
positive latching door. The method of holding the
SCBA in place must be designed to minimize injury to
persons in the vehicle in the event of accident, rapid
deceleration, or acceleration.
4. Do not mark the SCBA, i.e., with stamps, labels, paint,
or other method. Use of such markings may interfere
with apparatus use or may constitute a flammability
hazard.
5. Be sure that no other equipment interferes with the
SCBA facial seal, or with the user’s hands, or other
necessary means of mobility. For more information on
self-contained breathing apparatus use and perfor-
mance standards, please consult the following publi-
