Tips to Put It On Properly
Place on Face
To start, cup the respirator in your hand with the nosepiece at your fingertips, allowing
the headband straps to hang freely below your hand. Put the respirator up to your face
with the nosepiece over the bridge of your nose.
Position Straps
While holding the respirator in place, pull the top strap over your head so it rests high
on the back of your head and above your ears. Next, pull the bottom strap over your
head and place it around your neck just below your ears. Untwist the straps.
Form the Nosepiece Correctly
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 of the nosepiece.
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.
Take It Off Properly
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.
