SAFETY REGULATIONS MSA
1. Safety Regulations
1.1. Correct Use
The MSA BD96 SL (referred to hereafter as compressed air breathing apparatus)
is a self-contained breathing apparatus operating independent of the ambient air.
Breathable air is supplied to the user from compressed air cylinder(s) via a
pressure reducer, a demand controlled dosage assembly (see Instruction Manual
for the Lung Governed Demand Valve) and a face piece (see Instruction Manual
for the Face piece). The exhalation air is released directly into the ambient
atmosphere.
It is imperative that this operating manual be read and observed when using the
compressed air breathing apparatus. In particular, the safety instructions, as well
as the information for the use and operation of the apparatus, must be carefully
read and observed. Furthermore, the national regulations applicable in the user's
country must be taken into account for a safe use.
Alternative use, or use outside this specification will be considered as noncompliance. This also applies especially to unauthorised alterations to the
apparatus and to commissioning work that has not been carried out by MSA or
authorised persons.
Danger!
This product is supporting life and health. Inappropriate use, maintenance or servicing may affect the function of the device and thereby
seriously compromise the user’s life.
Before use the product operability must be verified. The product must
not be used if the function test is unsuccessful, it is damaged, a
competent servicing/maintenance has not been made, genuine MSA
1.2. Liability information
MSA accepts no liability in cases where the product has been used
inappropriately or not as intended. The selection and use of the product are the
exclusive responsibility of the individual operator.
Product liability claims, warranties also as guarantees made by MSA with respect
to the product are voided, if it is not used, serviced or maintained in accordance
with the instructions in this manual.
spare parts have not been used.
Danger!
This compressed air breathing apparatus is a pure gas protection
device. It is not suitable for underwater diving.

2.1. Standard Model (BD 96 SL)
The carrying assembly consists of an anatomically designed backplate of
antistatic plastic with carrying slots for easy handling. On the lower part of the
carrying assembly are the supports for the pressure reducer and an elastic bump
protector. On the upper part of the assembly, a cylinder support is attached with
integrated line guide.
The carrying belts and the hip belt are adjustable in length.
One or two compressed air cylinders can be placed in the cylinder support. The
cylinder strap is freely adjustable and after inserting the compressed air
cylinder(s), it is tied down tightly and secured with the tension clamp.

4 Lead seal
The pressure reducer (see Fig. 2) is mounted in the lower area of the carrying
plate. On the pressure reducer, there is a safety valve and the multi-channel line
for connecting the combo pressure gauge. The pressure reducer reduces the
cylinder pressure to approx. 7 bar and the safety valve activates on non-permitted
pressure rise to prevent damage insuring the continued supply of breathable air.

4 Second connection
The combo pressure gauge (see Fig. 3) is connected at the end of the multichannel line. It consists of the pressure gauge (1) itself, the coupling for the lung
governed demand valve (2) as well as an acoustic warning device (3) (signal
whistle). It triggers a continuous warning signal when the cylinder pressure drops
below 55±5 bar. The second connection (4) connects a second lung governed
demand valve (e.g. backup set).

3.3. Donning the Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus
(1) Check all components of the compressed air breathing apparatus for
defects and malfunctions.
(2) Don breathing apparatus with shoulder straps fully extended.
(3) Close hip belt and tighten loose ends.
(4) Tighten shoulder straps until the back plate fits comfortably.

3.5. Donning the Face piece (Full Face Mask)
(1) Don full face mask and check face piece-to-face fit (palm test) (see
Instruction Manual of Full face mask)
(2) Open cylinder valve(s) fully.
Warning!
When using two compressed air cylinders, always open the valves of
both cylinders. Only then will both cylinders be empty uniformly.
(3) Connect lung governed demand valve to face piece (see Instruction Manual
for Lung Governed Demand Valve)
(4) The compressed air breathing apparatus is ready for use.
3.6. During Use
(1) Regularly check tight fit of face piece and lung governed demand valve and
retighten if necessary, as well as the air supply shown on the pressure
gauge.
(2) Leave area immediately if the warning signal sounds.
Independent from the warning signal, an earlier retreat may be required;
the retreat start is based on the reading shown on the pressure gauge.
Danger!
The warning signal sounds when the air supply in the compressed air
cylinders is reduced.
In such cases, immediately leave the area, there is danger of air
deficiency.
3.7. Use of the Second Connection
(1) Remove safety cap from medium pressure coupling of Second Connection
on the combo pressure gauge.
(2) Connect medium pressure line of lung governed demand valve of second
user pushing until the coupling audibly catches.
Warning!
When the Second Connection is in use, more air is consumed and
service time is considerably reduced. Always keep this in mind when
using your apparatus.

Fig. 6 Fill with Quick-Fill (optional)
1 Quick-Fill coupling
With the Quick-Fill function, the compressed air cylinders of the breathing
apparatus can be filled during use (see Instruction Manual for Quick-Fill).
3.9. Removing the Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus
(1) Remove lung governed demand valve.
(2) Close cylinder valve(s).
(3) Activate flushing mode of lung governed demand valve, releasing all air
pressure.
(4) Open hip belt.
(5) Extend shoulder straps by lifting the slides.
Danger!
Do not throw off compressed air breathing apparatus. This could
damage the valve and any remaining compressed air could escape
suddenly.
(6) Remove compressed air breathing apparatus.
This could cause fatal injury to you or to any bystanders.
