CAUTION
DO NOT LEAVE THE CYLINDER VALVE OPEN
ON AN “EMPTY” CYLINDER. KEEP THE
CYLINDER VALVE CLOSED TO PREVENT
MOISTURE OR CONTAMINANTS FROM
ENTERING THE CYLINDER.
CAUTION
DO NOT LEAVE THE CYLINDER VALVE
OPEN WHEN THE RESPIRATOR IS NOT
IN USE. OVER TIME, THE CYLINDER MAY
LOSE PRESSURE AND HAVE INSUFFICIENT
BREATHING AIR WHEN NEEDED.
5. Slide the top of the cylinder upward under the strap. Engage the
cylinder hanger in the hook at the bottom of the backframe. See
FIGURE 12.
6. Inspect the high pressure coupling of the respirator to be certain
the coupling gasket is present and undamaged. See FIGURE 12.
If the gasket is present and undamaged, align the high pressure
coupling with the outlet of the cylinder valve and tighten the hose
coupling to the cylinder valve by hand.
WARNING
USE OF A RESPIRATOR WITH A MISSING
OR DAMAGED NIPPLE SEAL MAY RESULT
IN AIR LEAKAGE WHICH MAY REDUCE
THE DURATION OF USE AND/OR THE TIME
REMAINING AFTER AN END OF SERVICE
ALARM ACTUATES OR MAY PREVENT AN
END OF SERVICE ALARM FROM ACTUATING.
THE USE OF A RESPIRATOR WITH SUCH
AN AIR LEAK MAY RESULT IN THE USER
OF THE RESPIRATOR BEING EXPOSED TO
THE ATMOSPHERE THE RESPIRATOR IS
INTENDED TO PROTECT AGAINST.
CAUTION
WRENCHES SHALL NOT BE USED TO
TIGHTEN THE HOSE COUPLING. OVER
TIGHTENING THE HOSE COUPLING MAY
DAMAGE THE COUPLING GASKET.

NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO LOCK THE LATCH MECHANISM.
IF THE RETENTION STRAP IS TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE, USE
THE TRI-SLIDE BUCKLE TO ADJUST THE RETENTION STRAP
ENGAGEMENT LENGTH, THEN RE-ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE THE
LATCH ASSEMBLY.
The respirator is now ready for reuse.
The removed cylinder shall be inspected and refilled by authorized
