Hood Flowhood 1 & 2

064281 Flowhood 1 SM (half hood, small)

1. General
The Flowhood 1 and Flowhood 2 is designed to protect the respiratory system and face against
hazardous gases and particles.
o Use with a blower device, with the filters fitted to the blower device.
o Consists of a hood and a breathing hose.
o Air is drawn through particle filters connected to the blower, by an electronically-controlled
fan and led through the breathing hose into the facepiece (airduct). Exhaled air exits
through an exhalation valve found in the lower part of the hood.
2. Limitations of use
2.1 The filtering device must not be used if the environment and contamination is unknown. In
case of doubt, isolating respirators (air supply) which function independently of the
atmosphere must be used.
2.2 The filtering device must not be used in confined spaces (e.g. cisterns, tanks) because of
the risk of oxygen deficiency or presence of heavy oxygen-displacing gases (e.g. carbon
dioxide).
2.3 The filtering device may be used only if the oxygen content of the air is 18–23 vol.%.
2.4 Gas filters do not protect against particles. Similarly, particle filters do not provide
protection against gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined filters.
2.5 Normal filtering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (carbon
monoxide), CO2 (carbon dioxide) and N2 (nitrogen).
2.6 Particle filters are only allowed for single use if they are applied against radioactive agents or
micro-organisms (virus, bacteria, fungi and spores).
2.7 It is likely that adequate protection cannot be guaranteed if the user’s beard, hair,
spectacle frames or clothing intrude into the faceseal.
2.8 When a breathing protector is used in explosive atmospheres, please follow the
instructions given for such areas. The use of Flowhood 1 & 2 is permitted when
connected to an intrinsically safe (ex) blower device.
2.9 The blower must be running while using the respirator. If the blower turns off by accident,
the device ceases to function as a respirator, and carbon dioxide levels may instantly rise.
This is considered an abnormal situation.
2.10 At a very intense working pace, the pressure in the facepiece can change into negative
pressure at peak inhalation.
2.11 Protection levels may be reduced if wind speed exceeds 2 m/s.
2.12 Recommended operation conditions -10 C...+50 C, relative humidity (RH) under 75 %.
2.13 Filters must not be fitted directly to the the face shield or breathing hose.
3. Use
See Instructions for Use of the filter and blower device to be used.
Check intactness of hood and breathing hose.
Fix the breathing hose of the hood tightly to the blower device.
Screw the filters tightly to the blower device.
Remove the protective film from both surfaces of the visor.
Adjust the headband (velcro).
5
Don the blower unit according to its instructions.
Switch on the blower device, then check adequate air flow (see Instructions for Use of the
blower unit).
Don the hood so that the visor comes in front of the face and the breathing hose trails
freely down the back and is not kinked.
Flowhood 1 (half hood): Tighten by arranging the faceseal under the chin (draw at the loop).
Flowhood 2 (full hood): Tighten by adjusting the drawstring around the neck.
Check that hair or clothing is not trapped in the seal.
4. Maintenance and storage
Store protected from direct sunlight, at -10 °C...+50 °C and relative humidity (RH) under 75 %.
Clean with a damp cloth or sponge, using lukewarm water and mild detergent (neutral, pH
6-8) (e.g. washing-up liquid) (be careful not to scratch the visor). Allow to dry.
TriGene
TM
wipes may be used for disinfecion.
Do not use solvents (e.g. acetone, turpentine), hot water or bleaching agents (perborate,
percarbonate). Never clean with compressed air or compressed water.
Check that the hood and breathing hose are undamaged and replace damaged items.
Only use original spare parts.
Replacing the breathing hose
Undo the nut found on the rear innerhood (with Flowhood 2, also remove the plastic
washer) and remove the hose.
Insert the new hose into the hood (with Flowhood 2, also fit the washer) and tighten the nut.
Check that both layers of hood fabric are trapped under the nut.
Replacing the exhalation valve
Pull the valve cover from the valve and remove the disc.
Insert a new disc making sure that it lies flat on the seat.
Align the valve cover with the slots and snap it into place.
5. Disposal
A very contaminated hood as well as used filters are special refuse and shall be disposed
of according to the filtered substances (gases or particles).
6. Australia and New Zealand
For complete national requirements, please refer to the standard AS/NZS1715:2009,
Use & Maintenance of Respiratory Products.
7. Selection of blower-assisted breathing protector equipped with filter

“Open” facepieces, such as helmets or hoods,
do not provide sufficient protection in case of
breakdown or inferior output of the blower.
Therefore, devices of class TH1 must never
be used against carcinogenic, very poisonous
or radioactive gases and vapours.

For devices with combined filter apply the
relevant limitations of gas and particle filters.
Device with combined filter
The specified multiples of threshold value for the gas or particle filters are
given separately, but in all cases the lowest value applies.
*) Provided that the maximum permissible detrimental gas concentration for the gas filter is not exceeded. For
power-assisted filtering devices with gas filter, concentration must not exceed 0.05 vol.% in gas filter class 1 and 0.1
vol.% in gas filter class 2 and 0.5 vol.% in gas filter class 3.
**) If national guidelines exist: in all cases the lowest value applies.
