CAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Advantage 3000 Industrial and Gas Mask Applications

Note:

All cautions and limitations do not apply to all appli-

cations. Refer to the NIOSH approval insert to verify the
applicable cautions and limitations.

A- Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5

percent oxygen.

B- Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to

life or health.

C- Do not exceed maximum use concentrations estab-

lished by regulatory standards.

H- Follow established cartridge and canister change out

schedules or observe ESLI to ensure that cartridges
and canisters are replaced before breakthrough
occurs.

I-

Contains electrical parts that may cause an ignition in
flammable or explosive atmospheres.

J- Failure to properly use and maintain this product could

result in injury or death.

L- Follow the manufacturer's User's Instructions for

changing canisters.

M- All approved respirators shall be selected, fitted, used,

and maintained in accordance with MSHA, OSHA and
other applicable regulations.

N- Never substitute, modify, add, or omit parts. Use only

exact replacement parts in the configuration as speci-
fied by the manufacturer.

O- Refer to User's Instructions, and/or maintenance man-

uals for information on use and maintenance of these
respirators.

P- NIOSH does not evaluate respirators for use as surgi-

cal masks.

S- Special or critical User’s Instructions and/or specific

use limitations apply. Refer to User’s Instructions
before donning.

S- Special or Critical User’s Instructions

Mersorb-P100 cartridges can be used against a mixture
of chlorine and mercury that are both present simultane-
ously, but cannot be used if alternating between mercury-
contaminated atmospheres and chlorine-contaminated
atmospheres.

Mersorb-P100 respirators utilize an end-of-service-life
indicator for use against metallic mercury vapor. The band
around the side of each Mersorb-P100 cartridge consists
of chemically-treated paper. In use, as the paper is
exposed to metallic mercury vapor it changes from
orange to brown. When the indicator color changes to
brown, the cartridge is beginning to lose its effectiveness
against metallic mercury vapor and must be replaced.
Thus, the wearer has a constant, positive check on the
condition of the cartridge.

Do not enter any atmospheres with this respirator unless
you know that; you are not colorblind and can distinguish
between the beginning and ending colors of the end-of-
service-life indicator (when using Mersorb-P100/Mersorb
respirators only).
