Attaching LUNAR to PPE

LUNAR can be tethered to an SCBA using an MSA Retractor Assembly.

WARNING! 

Ensure LUNAR is securely attached using a tether by following the instructions below for donning LUNAR.

If using a tether other than the MSA Retractor Assembly, ensure that the tether material and connection method are capable of withstanding the loading and environmental conditions that will be encountered during use.

Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
