Do not wear eyeglasses under the face-

piece. The temples or sidebars on eye

glasses will prevent an air-tight seal. If you

must wear glasses, install an approved

spectacle kit listed on the NIOSH approval

matrix insert. Failure to follow this warn-

ing can cause inhalation of contaminated

air, resulting in serious respiratory injury

or death.

Verify that the respirator is properly pre-

pared before donning. See Repairing the

Respirator for Use section. Failure to fol-

low this warning can result in serious

personal injury or death.

DONNING PROCEDURES

1. Loosen the harness head straps on the

facepiece so that the strap end tabs are

approximately 1" from the buckles. 

2. With the facepiece

lens facing away,

grasp the temple

straps and neck

straps in each hand.

3. Slightly expand the

harness straps, place

chin into the face-

piece, and pull the

harness over the back

of the head.

4. Support the weight of the mask by hold-

ing the outlet valve assembly in the

palm of one hand. With the free hand,

adjust the facepiece securely to the

face, making sure the chin and nose are

seated securely.

5. While holding the facepiece securely in

position, tighten one temple strap at a

time by pulling straight back (not out) with

small jerks until mask feels snug on that

side.

6. Tighten the other tem-

ple strap in same

manner until both

sides feel the same. 

7. Ensure facepiece is centered on face by

looking down at the nosecup, it should

be uniform on each side of the face. If

not, readjust the temple straps. 

Note:

Ensure that no hair is under the tabs

and sealing surface. Also, the straps should

not cut into the ears. 

8. Evenly tighten the

neck straps by pulling

them straight back.

9. Check that head pad

is centered in the mid-

dle of the back of the

head.

10. If necessary, tighten

the top straps for best

visibility and fit.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE SEAL TEST

The Negative Pressure Seal Test must be

performed each time the facepiece is

donned. You must know the face-to-face-

piece seal is good before entering a haz-

ardous area.

Perform the test as follows:

1. Ensure respirator is assembled properly.
