INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Place ELSA neckstrap around the neck so that the pictorgram on the bag is outermost.
2. Hold the bag and pull the flap to withdraw the firing pin. Listen for air flowing into the hood.
If there is no sound, check that the firing pin is fully withdrawn.
3. If the firing pin is still in place pull the yellow belt to free the pin. If there is still no sound, pull the red EMERGENCY PULL disc.
4. Place the palms of the hand together and insert through the rubber neck seal. Open the hands to open the hood.
5. Pull the hood from the bag.
6. Pull the hood over the head until the neck seal is around the neck. Check that clothing or hair is not trapped in the neck seal.
7. Check that there is a steady flow of air into the hood. Breathe normally.
8. LEAVE THE HAZARD AREA IMMEDIATELY
When clear of the hazard area remove the hood.
NOTE: When the cylinder is almost empty the warning whistle sounds. Beyond this, carbon dioxide within the hood will increase and the hood must be removed as soon as it is safe to do so. Once the apparatus has been used it must be returned to be serviced and have the cylinder re-charged.
