5. Strap tension may be decreased
without removing respirator from the
head by pushing out on the back of
the buckles. If you cannot achieve a
proper fit do not enter contaminated
area. See your supervisor.
Note: do not use with beards or
other facial hair that may inhibit
contact between the face and the
edge of the respirator.
6. The seal of respirator on the face
should be fit-checked prior to
wearing in the work area.
a) Cover the front of the respirator
with both hands, being careful not to
disturb the position of respirator.
b) Inhale sharply. A negative
pressure should be felt inside
respirator. If any leakage is detected,
adjust position of respirator and/or
tension of strap. Retest the seal.
Repeat the procedure until the
respirator is sealed properly.
