Fitting Instructions
Before fitting device, ensure hands are clean. All respirator
components should be inspected for damage prior to each
use.
1.
With reverse side up, separate top and bottom panels to
form a cup shape. Bend slighty at centre of the noseclip.
2. Ensure both panels are fully unfolded.
3.
Cup respirator in one hand with open side towards face.
Take both straps in other hand. Hold respirator under
chin, with nosepiece up, and pull straps over head.
4. Locate the upper strap across the crown of the head
and the lower strap below the ears. Straps must not be
twisted. Adjust top and bottom panels for a comfortable
fit, ensuring panels are not folded in.
5. Using both hands, mould nose clip to the shape of the
lower part of the nose to ensure a close fit and good seal.
Pinching the nose clip using only one hand may result in
less effective respirator performance.
6. The seal of the respirator on the face should be fit-
checked before entering the workplace.
Seal Check
1. Cover the front of the respirator with both hands being
careful not to disturb the fit of the respirator.
2. (a) UNVALVED respirator - EXHALE sharply;
(b) VALVED respirator - INHALE sharply;
3. If air leaks around the nose, re-adjust the nose clip to
eliminate leakage. Repeat the above seal check.
4. If air leaks at the respirator edges, work the straps back
along the sides of the head to eliminate leakage. Repeat
the above seal check.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper seal DO NOT enter the
hazardous area. See your supervisor.
Users should be fit tested in accordance with national
requirements.
