Adjusting and Installing
Headband in Respirator Hood
(If using respirator with Bullard hard
hat, see page 12)
To change the headband size, unlock the four
pins from the sizing holes. Place the headband
on your head. Pull down, allowing headband to
expand until it feels comfortable. The headband
will automatically adjust to your size. Lock into
place by pushing the four pins into the sizing
holes (Figure 4).
NOTE
If using the optional 20RT ratchet head-
band suspension, refer to the instruction
sheet provided with the 20RT.
Adjust Crown Straps for
Vertical Fit
To improve suspension comfort, adjust crown
straps vertically by repositioning the crown strap
posts in the crown straps. Vertical adjustment
makes the headband ride higher or lower on
the wearer’s head. To adjust, push crown strap
post from slot, move to new slot, and snap in to
secure. Move key to desired vertical position.
Repeat for other crown strap post (Figure 7).
NOTE
If the hood rises off your head during use,
first verify proper air pressure, then select
a different hood for your application, or use
the optional chin strap.
