HEADTOPS USER MANUAL

Introduction

Hardtops are tested and approved for use with Clean-AIR filter-ventilation units in compliance with European standards EN 12941/A2, EN 12942/A2, EN 14594:2005, as amended. The list of approved combinations and classifications for protection classes is in Chapter 7 – Technical Data.
Filtered air is blown to Headtops from above (except for masks, in which it is blown from the face part). The correct put-on head top tight to the face ensures, in a combination with the flow of supplied air, creating a slight overpressure in the face space, which prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the user‘s respiratory zone.
The most suitable combination of a hardtop with the filter-ventilation unit is determined according to the type and concentration of harmful pollutants in the work environment and according to the work performed. The entire range of products enables you to choose the appropriate protection for most industrial applications.

Types of CleanAIR® head tops

71 03 01 – Acetate
**** CA–4 – safety helmet| 71 04 01 – orage
71 04 03 – including protection visor and earmuffs
71 04 00V – long protective hood
CA-5 – half mask| 70 05 00

Basic instructions for use

Read these Instructions for Use carefully and follow them. The user must be perfectly familiar with the correct use of protective equipment.

• The user must know the type of contamination and its concentration in the ambient air.
• The oxygen concentration in the surrounding of a person using the filtration system must not drop below 17% in Europe. In the Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Australia, and New Zealand it must not drop below 19%. For the other countries obtain their requirements.
• Do not use in explosive environments.
• Follow the instructions in the Instructions for Use of Clean-AIR filter units and the Instructions for Use of filters.
• Only use with the filter-ventilation unit switched on. Filters must not be connected straight to the hood!
• The filtered air overpressure inside the protective headtop is the primary protective factor preventing the ambient air contaminants from penetrating. In the case of filtration systems with hoods, the protection of respiratory organs with the fan switched off is low or none. Also, the carbon dioxide concentration may increase and the oxygen content may decrease inside the hood.
• To put the hoods on comfortably, they have an adjustable headband (straps).
• Make sure that the sealing line of the headtop fits tightly to the face (in hoods, tightness can be adjusted using the self-tightening clamp under the chin). Only then may the perfect protection level be secured. The protection factor may be reduced if the user has hair or beard extending to the face sealing part. If it gets to the sealing line, the penetration will increase and the protection provided by the system will decrease.
• During very hard work, a vacuum may be created inside the headtop during inhaling and thus the protection factor may be reduced temporarily.

Cleaning and Disinfection

• Every time you finish your work, clean the head top, check its individual parts and replace damaged parts.
• Cleaning must be carried out in a well-ventilated room. Avoid inhaling harmful dust settled on individual parts!
• For cleaning, use tepid water (up to +40°C) with soap or some other non-abrasive detergent and a soft brush.
• It is forbidden to use agents containing solvents for cleaning.
• After individual parts have been cleaned with a damp cloth, they must be wiped dry or left to dry at the ambient temperature.
• Common preparations, such as Latin, Insider, etc., may be used for the disinfection of parts coming into contact with skin.
• For more instructions and recommendations see the enclosed manual from the manufacturer.

Maintenance, Spare Parts Replacement, and Cleaning

Before using a new product, always check that the equipment is complete and that no damage occurred during transport.

Grinding visor CA – 3 and protective visor CA – 3A
The grinding visor is supplied with the visor mounted. Take out the visor and remove the protective foil before use.
A separately supplied foil 0.1 mm thick is designated to protect the visor of the CA – 3 visor. To fix it to the visor, the foil is provided with self- adhesive tapes on sides.
Material: Forehead protection – polypropylene Visor – polycarbonate or acetate Face seal – polyamide floated with PU and PVC Protective foil – diacetate
The visor selvage bears the mark acc. to EN 166 on the inner selvage of the visor.

Face seal replacement:
Removing the face seal:

• Removing the face seal:
• Release the face seal from the velcro fasteners on the headband.
• Tear the face seal off the velcro fastener on the visor and on the front part of the air duct.
• Carry out this operation carefully so as not to unstick also the velcro fastener.

Putting on the face seal:

• Start in the middle of the lower edge and proceed symmetrically upwards fastening the face seal edge to the velcro fastener along the entire circumference.
• Fix the face seal to the air duct.
• With the velcro fastener fix the face seal to the headband.
• Check that the face seal fits well along the entire circumference and that there are no holes caused by folds on the face seal

Setting the distance of visor to face:

• Unlock the headband from the fixed position.
• Take out the grey pin on both sides of the visor.
• Set the optimum distance to the chin (4 positions).

Setting the depth of the headband:

• Set the optimum depth using the pins on the top part of the headband.

Setting the circumference of the headband:

• Push and turn the knob on the rear side of the headband.
•  Adjust the circumference so that it is not too tight or loose.

Visor replacement (PICTURE ANNEX 1):
Taking the visor out:

• Pull at the visor edge in the lower part.
• At the same time push from the lower inner side of the visor out.

Mounting the visor:

• Fix the lower part of the visor into the provided opening.
• Slide the upper part of the visor under the top selvage of the visor.
• Slide the side edges of the visor into the lower grooves.

Warning: The visor with acetate visor (CA – 3A) cannot be used for grinding!
For more information and recommendations see the enclosed manual from the manufacturer.

Helmet CA – 4
Helmets are supplied with a foil protecting the visor against damage during handling and transport. The foil is sewn in the face seal and it must be removed carefully.
A separately supplied foil 0.1 mm thick is designated to protect the visors of these helmets. To fix it to the visor, the foil is provided with self-adhesive tapes on the sides.

Material:
Helmet – polyethylene
Visor – cellulose-propylene
Face seal – polyamide floated with PU and PVC
Protective foil – diacetate

Face seal replacement:
Removing the face seal (PICTURE ANNEX 2):

• Release the face seal from the velcro fasteners on the headband.
• Carefully take the face seal out of the air duct and regulating screw
• Remove the face seal by pulling over the helmet.

Putting on the face seal (PICTURE ANNEX 3):

• Pull the face seal through the air duct (there is another one under this hole for the regulating screw).
• Pull the face seal over the helmet forwards. Make sure that the shield is pulled fully over the front part of the helmet.
• Fix the straps with velcro fasteners to the headband. Check that the face seal fits well along the entire circumference and there are no holes through which air could penetrate into the respiratory zone.

Half mask CA – 5
The half mask along with the filter-ventilation unit protects against harmful gases, aerosols and particles.

• Fasten the belt with a filter-ventilation unit and screw the hose with RD40 thread into it.
• Strap the fastening bands of the half mask together.
• Hang the half mask around your neck so that the part with the face piece is on your chest.
• Hold the face piece on your face, pull the head fastening system over your ears and fasten it on the crown of your head.
• Tighten the fastening bands on the face piece if necessary.
• Screw the other hose end into the thread on the half mask.

Check of correct fixing:
Check the tightness of the half mask by covering the inlet hole of the filter with your palm and by breathing in to create a vacuum. The vacuum must remain with holding your breath. If not, do the following: tighten the fastening system bands or use a mask of different sizes.

Taking the mask off:
Take the mask off in reverse order to put it on.

Storage

All parts of CleanAir systems must be stored in rooms with air temperatures ranging between 0° and 40°C and relative air humidity between 20% and 80% Rh. The maximum storage time in the closed package is 2 years.
