9. 

This respirator, when properly fitted and 
used, significantly reduces but does not 
completely eliminate the breathing of 
contaminates by the respirator wearer.

10. 

Be certain your employer has 
determined that the breathing air 
source provides at least Grade D 
breathable air. The respirator must be 
supplied with clean breathable air at all 
times.

11. 

Do not connect the respirator’s air 
supply hose to nitrogen, toxic gases, 
inert gases or other unbreathable 
non Grade D air sources. Check the air 
source before using the respirator. This 
apparatus is not designed for use with 
mobile air supply systems i.e. cylinders. 
Failure to connect the supply hose to 
the proper air source could result in 
serious injury or death.

12.

 DO NOT use this respirator in poorly 

ventilated areas or confined spaces. 
Ensure the area is well ventilated and 
that the contaminant concentrations 
are below those recommended for this 
respirator. Follow all procedures for 
confined space entry, operation and 
exit as defined in applicable regulations 
and standards.

13. 

LEAVE WORK AREA IMMEDIATELY IF:

 

- Any respirator component becomes 
damaged.

 

- Airflow stops or slows down.

 

- Breathing becomes difficult.

 

- You become dizzy, nauseous, too hot, 
too cold or ill.

 

- Vision is impaired.
