APOLLO 60 HP SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATOR
Page 9
6.1.1 Clemco’s Air Control Valves allow the user to
increase or decrease the volume of breathing-air while
wearing the supplied-air respirator. The valves provide a
range of 7 to 10 cfm of breathing-air when it is supplied with
respirable air as noted in Section 4.0.
6.1.2 ACV: To regulate the air flow, pull down and turn
the large sleeve on the lower end of the valve in the desired
direction to increase or decrease the air flow as needed. A
soft hissing sound is normal when the air control valve is
in operation as some air is allowed to escape underneath
the sleeve to prevent the entry of dust into the adjustment
mechanism.
6.1.3 ACV-II: To regulate the air flow, turn the control
knob "clockwise" to decrease air flow, or "counterclock-
wise" to increase air flow. When the knob is turned fully
clockwise to minimum flow, maximum flow is obtained
within the first full counterclockwise revolution of the knob.
Turning the knob more than one revolution counterclock-
wise does not increase air flow.
WARNING
Correct placement of the inner collar is critical for
providing the protection for which the respirator
is designed. The collar must be positioned and
maintained without any interference from items
such as hair, facial hair, or shirt collars, between
the collar and user’s neck.
5.9 Pull the cape down to fully extend it and connect
the four elastic straps (two on each side) under the arms,
and tighten using the slides provided.
5.10 Put the belt and control valve on over the cape.
Buckle the belt around the waist, and tighten it by pulling
the belt end through the buckle insert.
5.11 When finished blasting and with cleanup, remove
the respirator in a clean, non-hazardous environment
where the air is safe to breathe.
WARNING
Do not put the respirator on, or store it in a blast
contaminated environment. Do not remove the
respirator in a contaminated environment except
for emergency evacuation when the use of the
respirator hinders escape.
