DOFFING
Do not remove the headtop or turn off the air supply until you have vacated the contaminated area.
1. Grasp the face seal, raise the visor, and lift the headtop off the head.
2. Switch off the air filter unit or disconnect the compressed air supply tube from the regulator.
3. Unbuckle the waistbelt.
NOTE:
If the respirator has been used in an area that has caused it to become contaminated with a substance
requiring special decontamination procedures it should be placed in a suitable container and sealed until it
can be decontaminated.
