REMOVING THE RESPIRATOR
DECONTAMINATION
DO NOT remove respirator until respirator and protec-
tive clothing are decontaminated; otherwise, exposure
to contaminants may result. Follow decontamination
and disposal procedures established by appropriate
authorities. Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious personal injury or death.
Once the protective equipment has been decontaminated,
proper disposal of affected equipment must be per-
formed.
Disposal is to be performed as required by federal, state,
and/or local laws.
When conditions are safe to remove and handle the respi-
rator, the switch can be moved to the “OFF” position, and
accessories/components (belt, canisters etc) can be
removed. Refer to the facepiece user’s instruction manual.
DO NOT reuse the canisters. Canisters are considered
to be in service when they are removed from their
packaging. Canisters are intended for one time use
only and must be disposed of upon termination of use.

(counter-clockwise) the battery cap assembly.

can result in serious personal injury or death. DO NOT
