Assemble the respirator by screwing the two
appropriate filters onto the inhalation con-
nectors mounted on the facepiece.
Check to be sure that each filter is
tightly sealed against the face-
piece (See Figure 3).
After assembling the respirator
facepiece and filters, inspect the res-
pirator to make certain that the respirator
has not been damaged.
CAUTION
3. TO PUT ON THE RESPIRATOR
The following should be performed in an
area with uncontaminated air.
1) Remove your eyewear (if worn), then
grasp the front of the respirator with
one hand and the upper headband with
the other hand. Then place the portion
of the facepiece containing the exhala-
tion valve under the chin (See Figure 4).
2) Position the narrow portion of the respi-
rator on the nose bridge and place the cradle
suspension system on the head so that the
top headband rests across the top of the
head and the bottom headband rests
above the ears, on the back of the
head. Then hook the bottom head-
band behind the neck, below the ears,
and adjust the position of the face-
piece on the face for best fit and
comfort (See Figure 5).
A respirator must be inspected by the wearer before and after each
use to ensure that it is in good working condition.
