4.1.7 Donning the Low Profile PAPR Hood
(1)
Turn on the PAPR blower motor. Let air flow through the unit for a few seconds.
(2)
Place the hood over the head, ensuring the visor is in front of the face and the
comfort band is approximately above the eyebrows.
(3)
Ensure the elastic seal runs above the ear and under then chin. It must be ensured
that the hood fits snugly against the skin, particularly down the sides of the face
adjacent to the ears.
(4)
Ensure the hose inlet is seated at the base of the user's skull.
(5)
Ensure the top of the hood is fully inflated and air is flowing over the user's head.
NOTE:
MSA recommends use of a buddy system to check for proper hood donning.
