4. Using both hands,
grasp the back panel
of the hood and pull it
over the facepiece and
head. The lens open-
ing of the hood should
coincide with the lens
opening of the facepiece. (If the situation
permit, another person can assist with
donning).
5. Carefully tuck the elas-
tic lens opening of the
hood around the back
of the facepiece lens
rings, component
housing assembly, and
applicable accessory.
The rain shield of the hood should be
uniformly over the upper lens ring of the
facepiece. The elastic lens opening
should be in contact with the rubber sur-
face of the facepiece. Be sure to smooth
out any wrinkles or folds that might exist
along the edge of the elastic.
6. Conduct a successful Negative Pressure
Seal Test.
7. Attach each of the arm
straps to the front of
the hood shroud using
the Velcro attachment
pads. Adjust the arm
strap, using the buckle
slides, so that the arm
straps provide a snug fit but still allow for
easy movement.
8. Tighten the draw string
cord by securing the
bottom of the cord and
sliding the cord tight-
ener toward the front
of the neck. The draw
string should provide a
snug comfortable fit. Ensure draw string
is not twisted or knotted.
DO NOT over tighten the draw string.
Over tightening the draw string can
restrict breathing. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury or
death.
9. Pull the shroud of the
hood uniformly over
the shoulders.
10. Repeat the Negative Pressure Seal Test
to ensure a sufficient face-to-facepiece
seal is achieved before exposure to a
hazardous agent. If using the
ClearCommand voice amplifier accesso-
ry with the RI connection, reposition the
ear phone closer to the ear.
