contaminant retained on the main
filter and inside the cover.

Pre-Filter

Release the cover by lifting the left and right
lower sides to disengage the lugs then pull
forward and lift.

Precautions are to be taken to prevent
inhalation of harmful dust or
contaminant retained on the pre-filter
and inside the cover.

Pull the corners of the main filter to release
the four press studs from the housing.

Dispose of in accordance with local health
and safety regulations.  Never re-use a main
filter.

Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any
loose dust from inside the cover and housing.

Fit a new main filter by attaching the two
press studs onto the housing.  Support the
housing and press along the main filter
edges, attach the other end onto the two
press studs.  Ensure the filter seal is fully
seated on the housing.  Lower the cover and
push backwards to engage the lugs into the
holes.  Ensure the lugs are fully engaged in
the holes.  Carry out a functional test as
described previously.

Face Seal

Pull the face seal away from the hook
fastener strip on visor frame.

Establish the centre of the replacement face
seal and attach the brushed nylon side onto
the hook fastener strip on the bottom of the
visor frame.  Continue attaching the face seal
to the visor frame and ensure no gaps are on
the end of the face seal and visor frame.

Adjust the position of the face seal to achieve
close contact around the face. 

Pull pre-filter away from inside the cover and
dispose of in accordance with local health and
safety regulations.  Never re-use a pre-filter.

Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any
loose dust from inside the cover.

Attach the coarse side of the replacement
pre-filter onto the hook fastener strips inside
the cover.  Lower the cover and push
backwards to engage the lugs into the holes.
Ensure the lugs are fully engaged in the
holes.  Carry out a functional test.

When opening and closing top cover
ensure knobs  are loose, tabs are
released and cover is slid forward.
This prevents filters from rubbing
against each other.
