VISUAL INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTSvalve label is not damaged and that the relief valveports are not showing. If damaged, remove the airmask from service and replace the relief valve.e. Reattach Audi-Larm Alarm to the cylinder valve.7. High Pressure Hosea. Inspect the high pressure hose between the Audi-Larm Alarm and the PR14 First Stage Regulator.Look for cuts or severe abrasions. If damage is present,replace the hose.8. Cylinder and Valve Assemblya. Air mask cylinders should be recharged as soon aspossible after use. Cylinders should not be storedpartially charged for two reasons:• If used without recharge, the service life of the airmask is reduced.• The cylinder burst disc vents excess pressure if afull cylinder is over exposed to fire or heat. If thecylinder is not full, it may be damaged before theburst disc vents.b. If the cylinder is less than FULL (within 10% ofrated service pressure), recharge it before storage.Cylinder air must be at least CGA QualityVerification Level (Grade) D respirable air. In fire serviceapplications, MSA recommends breathing airquality in accordance with NFPA 1989.c. Inspect the cylinder valve for signs of damage. Thevalve may be opened slightly to ensure it operatesproperly. Be sure to fully close the valve.d. Inspect the cylinder body for cracks, dents, weakenedareas, corrosive agents causing the fibers tobreak or peel, or signs of heat-related damage. Ifthe cylinder is damaged return it to an MSA ServiceCenter.e. Check the hydrostatic test date on the cylinderapproval sticker located on the cylinder neck.Fiberglass composite cylinders must be testedevery three years. Carbon-wrapped cylinders mustbe tested every five years.f. Ensure the needle and gauge face on the cylindervalve gauge are clearly visible and that the gaugestem is not bent.It is also essential that the required inspections and testsbe performed on all air mask cylinders in accordance withDepartment of Transportation (DOT) regulations. DOT regulationsrequire that composite cylinders be retired fromservice after the fifteenth year. This does not include cylindervalve assemblies that may be reused. Steel and aluminumcylinder service life is indefinite if proper inspectionand hydrostatic test procedures are followed and theyindicate that the cylinder may remain in service. Contactan MSA distributor or sales associate for more informationregarding this policy.Note: ANSI Z88.5 recommends checking cylinder pressureweekly. For maximum safety the cylinders should bestored full or empty (pressure above ambient but less than100 psi).9. FireHawk M7 Carrier and Harnessa. Operate the latch wing on the cylinder band toensure that it opens and closes properly and that itholds the cylinder securely. If the cylinder band andlatch is locked, the latch wing should not turn.b. Inspect the back plate for cracks, weakened areas,or signs of damage due to heat or chemical relateddamage.c. Inspect all harness components for cuts, tears,abrasions, or signs of damage due to heat or chemicalrelated damage.10. FireHawk M7 Control Modulea. Inspect the gauge hose and power cable for anyvisible signs of damage.b. Inspect for external cracks in the housing andensure the rubber cover is not damaged.c. Ensure the buttons are not damaged or missing.d. Ensure the gauge hose and power cable aresecurely attached to the FireHawk M7 ControlModule.11. FireHawk M7 Power Modulea. Inspect the FireHawk M7 Power Module housing forexternal cracks and ensure that the FireHawk M7Power Module, battery tube, and cylinder stop aresecurely attached to the backplate.b. Inspect the piezo emitters on both sides of theFireHawk M7 Power Module. Ensure that the emittercovers are not obstructed by dirt or debris.c. Ensure that the power cable is securely attached tothe FireHawk M7 Power Module. The fitting on thepower cable should not be able to be unthreadedby hand.d. Remove the cap from the battery tube. Ensure thatthe o-ring is properly installed on the battery cap, ifo-ring is missing, it must be replaced.e. Inspect the inside of the battery tube. Ensure thatthe battery terminals are not corroded and that thetube if free of moisture and debris.f. Replace the battery cap on the battery tube.12. Record Keepinga. Following inspection, the date and initials of thedesignated inspector should be recorded on aninspection tag. A more detailed record of the operationsperformed can be noted on an inspection andmaintenance log, available from MSA. When theinspection data has been recorded, the air mask isready for use.All repair and replacement of subassemblies must becarried out by an MSA certified repair technician.Failure to follow this warning will void NFPA andNIOSH certifications and can result in serious personalinjury or death.TAL 806 (L) Rev. 3 - 1008285810
VISUAL INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTSFUNCTIONAL TESTSConduct the Following: Before Use, After Each Use, andMonthly1. Check that the Firehawk Regulator and facepiece canhold a negative pressure.a. Close the cylinder valve and purge any air from thesystem using the bypass knob on the FirehawkRegulator.b. Hold the facepiece against the face to create aneffective seal.c. Attach the Firehawk Regulator to the facepiece andinhale until the facepiece begins to collapse againstthe face. Hold breath for approximately 10 seconds.Negative pressure should be maintained and thefacepiece should remain collapsed against the facefor the entire 10 seconds.d. Do not use the air mask if negative pressure cannotbe maintained in the facepiece. Return the FirehawkRegulator and facepiece to a certified repairperson.2. Check Firehawk Regulator operation.Note: Firehawk Regulator functional checks must be conductedwith a full cylinder. Check the pressure gauge onthe cylinder valve to verify that the cylinder is full.a. Push the release buttons on the side of the regulator.b.
