WARNING
POSITION THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY AND BREATHING TUBE TO PERMIT A FULL
RANGE OF MOVEMENT BY THE USER WITHOUT PRESENTING A HAZARD OF SNAG-
GING OR TANGLING. HAVING THE BREATHING TUBE EXCESSIVELY LOOSE OR
EXCESSIVELY TIGHT MAY RESULT IN THE FACEPIECE BEING PULLED FROM THE
USER’S FACE EXPOSING THE USER TO THE HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERE THE RES-
PIRATOR WAS INTENDED TO PROTECT AGAINST WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.

10. Additional protective clothing and protective head wear, if used, must be arranged so
that it does not interfere with the fit of the facepiece or restrict the air flow to the air
filtration elements.
11. The blower assembly and breathing tube must be arranged so that:
a)
There is enough slack in the breathing tube so the respirator user can turn his
head through a full range of motion without the breathing tube pulling on the
facepiece, the breathing tube being pinched closed or the breathing tube inter-
fering with other protective clothing or equipment.
b)
The blower assembly and breathing tube must not be positioned so that exces-
sive slack of the breathing tube is likely to catch on objects.
