Prerequisites

WARNING
!
The chemical protective suit must be used in
accordance with the applicable standards and
directives of the country in question.
The environmental impact must be determined prior to
use, since the suitability of the chemical protective suit
must be determined before its use. The chemical
protective suit must only be used for suitable
purposes. The user has to consider national and other
requirements for the use of personal protective
equipment.
Non-observance can lead to death or severe physical
injuries.
4.2 Instructions on using the fastener
system
The fastener system has been developed especially for the
chemical protective suits. Generally, the additional seals make
mobility more difficult in comparison to zip fasteners on normal
clothing. To prevent creases in the fastener system, the
protective suit wearer must grasp and pull the fastener system
to the hood, while a second person pulls the trouser leg with
the fastener system down using both hands until the fastener
system is free of creases. The protective suit wearer should be
standing upright when opening and closing the fastener
system.
CAUTION
!
To avoid damage to the fastener system, both halves
of the zip must be parallel and unstressed. Do not use
force when opening and closing the fastener system or
jerk the zipper.
Fastener systems without sufficient lubrication are
more difficult to operate. This can result in damage to
the fastener system. Lubricate the fastener system
using the grease stick supplied by Dräger.

4.2.1 Opening the fastener system
Fully open the fastener system.

Always pull the zipper tab in the direction of the zipper

mechanism; never pull diagonally!
Do not use force. Zip elements can become bent!

If the zipper tab gets caught, pull it back and push it forward

again.
4.2.2 Closing the fastener system
When closing the fastener system, avoid diagonal forces

on the zip.
Pull the fastener chains together by hand.

Then the zip will slide more easily along the section that is
being pulled together.
Foreign objects, such as shirt, jacket, threads, etc. must

and
not be trapped between the zip elements.

Preparation for use

4.3.1 Preparing the chemical protective suit
NOTICE
i i
Dräger recommends that you keep the flat bags in
which the chemical protective suit was delivered for
later storage purposes.
1. Check for leaks before using the suit for the first time in
order to detect any damage due to transport. Observe the
maintenance intervals thereafter (see Chap. 6.1 on
Page 26).
2. Place the chemical protective suit flat on the ground and
examine visually (see Chap. 6.2 on Page 26).
WARNING
!
Do not use a damaged chemical protective suit. If you
do, you risk death or serious injury.
3. If fitted, check the function of the ventilation unit and the
connection to the compressed air breathing apparatus.
4. Treat the full face mask visor from outside using "klar-pilot"
anti-fogging gel. Use the spray "klar-pilot" Comfort for
coated mask visors. If the suit is not fitted with an antifog
visor, also treat the inside of the visor.
4.3.2 Putting on the chemical protective suit
NOTICE
i i
Get a second person to assist you with donning the
suit.
1. Put on underclothing (moisture-wicking work clothing,
cotton gloves).
NOTICE
i i
Dräger recommends tucking the trouser legs of the
underclothing into the socks to prevent the trouser legs
shifting.
To prevent the cotton gloves slipping down, they
should be fixed on the wrist using insulation tape.
