TAKE IT OFF PROPERLY
TIPS TO PUT IT ON PROPERLY
POP IT OPEN
Use both hands to separate the respirator panels and form a cup shape, bending slightly at
the center of the nosepiece to help it hold its shape.
PLACE ON FACE
Place both straps on the outside of the top panel. Hold the respirator in one hand, place the
opened respirator under your chin with the nosepiece across the bridge of your nose.
POSITION STRAPS
While holding respirator in place, take both straps in your other hand and pull over your
head. Adjust the top strap so that it is high on the back of your head and then position the
bottom strap around your neck below the ears. Untwist the straps.
ADJUST RESPIRATOR PANELS
For a comfortable fit, pull the top panel toward the bridge of your nose and the bottom
panel under your chin. Make sure the panels are not folded in.
FORM THE NOSEPIECE
To get a good seal around the nose, you need to mold the nosepiece carefully to help
prevent air leakage. To do this, use two fingers from each hand to mold the nosepiece to the
shape of your nose. Push inwards and down while moving your fingers down both sides.
CHECK THE SEAL
To perform a User Seal Check on a non-valved respirator, cover the respirator with both hands
and inhale sharply or exhale sharply. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. No
air leaks should be felt between the face and the respirator edges. If air does leak, readjust the
nosepiece, work the straps back along the sides of your head and repeat the seal check. If you
cannot achieve a proper fit without air leaks, try another respirator model.
HOW TO TAKE RESPIRATOR OFF
To remove, cup the respirator in one hand to hold it on your face. With your other hand,
pull bottom strap overhead, then pull top strap overhead and remove respirator.
An alternative way to remove the respirator without touching it is to first pull the
bottom strap over your head and then pull the top strap over your head.
