USING THE RESPIRATOR
3. Pull the harness over head with
loop, pull harness down to the
back of the head until plastic cra-
dle lies flat on back of head.
4. Tighten neck straps evenly so that
the mask is snug against your
face.
FACEPIECE FIT CHECK
(Face-to-Facepiece Seal)
To test facepieces for leakage using a
negative pressure method:
1. Block the filter
opening.
2. Inhale so that the facepiece col-
lapses against your face. Hold
your breath for 10 seconds. The
facepiece should remain col-
lapsed.
3. If the facepiece does not remain
collapsed, readjust the headstraps
and repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. If you cannot get a seal by adjust-
ing the headstraps, check the
facepiece for leaks. See
Maintaining the Respirator. Locate
the problem and correct it before
using the respirator.
Leave the area immediately if any of
the following symptoms occur
•
breathing becomes difficult
•
dizziness or other distress occurs
•
you taste or smell the contaminant
•
you experience eye, nose or throat
irritation.
If you bump or impact the car-
tridges, leave area immediately and
check the security of the cartridge.
Perform an Air Tightness Test
before re-entry.
This device may not seal properly
with your face if you have a mous-
tache, beard, gross sideburns or
other physical characteristics that
interfere with the face-to-facepiece
seal (see ANSI Z88.2). If the face-
piece does not seal against your
face, non-respirable air can leak
into the facepiece, reducing or elim-
inating the protection. The face-to-
facepiece seal must be tested
before each use. DO NOT USE A
FACEPIECE THAT DOES NOT SEAL.

nector on battery pack.

tor and turn to secure.
3. Turn the switch located on the bat-
tery pack on.
