STEP 6 – CHECK MASK SEAL
It is essential to do a fit check every time you wear a CleanSpace Respirator. Locate PAF-1009, the red Seal Check Cap. Fit
Seal Check Cap over the exhalation valve in the mask. The Cap should snap into place. See figure below.

Check that no air is flowing from the exhalation valve. Breathe normally.

Using your fingers, feel around the perimeter of the mask for leaks. You will feel any leak as a cool flow of air over your
finger. For greater sensitivity breathe out firmly to raise the mask pressure. Wetting your fingers will make it easier to
feel tiny leaks.

If necessary tighten the mask. To tighten the mask, place one hand against the back of the blower and the other over
the front of the mask. Push the blower forwards and the mask back, tightening the fit. You will hear a series of clicks as
the mask is tightened.

Be careful to tighten each side by the same amount.
Do not over - tighten the mask! If the front of the mask starts to become concave, it is too tight and may leak. Press the Adjust
Buttons to loosen the mask a little.
After each tightening, feel for leaks again
Tilt your head down (look at the ground) and up (look at the sky). Check that there are still no leaks. Look right and left,
checking for leaks. Adjust if necessary.
Once you can feel no leaks from the mask, the seal check is complete.
IF A SATISFACTORY FIT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED, DO NOT ENTER THE CONTAMINATED ZONE
Remove the Seal Check Cap by gently twisting the handle so that one side of the cap comes loose from the exhalation valve.
Be careful not to dislodge the exhalation valve cover. See Figure on the following page.
