Important Notes:
During confined space entry operations, it should not be assumed that the ventilator will maintain the air inside• the confined space at a safe condition. When the ventilator is in use, the air inside the confined space should be
monitored continuously for the presence of poisonous gases and/or toxic fumes.
Ensure that the ventilator provides positive airflow the entire time during usage.• Hose discharge is to be directed to the building exterior.•
2. Setup of Canister:
Choose a location where installation will provide suitable proximity to the work area yet minimize obstructions during
use.
Once a location is chosen;
a. To attach the canister to the ventilator, align the notches on the front of the canister with the side tabs on the ventila-
tor (Refer to fig. 4.2b), then use the rubber latches that are attached to the canister to affix the canister to venitlator
(Refer to fig. 4.2c).
b. The ventilator should be placed 1.5 meters upwind where possible (Refer to fig. 4.2d), from the confined space,
and have its inlet pointed into the wind. This will reduce the chance of contamination being blown into the confined
space.
c. Unfasten the hose retainer then extend and place the ventilator hose as required.
d. To detach the canister from the ventilator, release the rubber latches and pull the units apart.
e. Feed the hose back into the canister housing and buckle the retainer straps to hold the hose for storage or trans-
portation.
