adjusting and installing Hard Hat
in respirator Hood*
1. Assemble and adjust the standard Bullard hard hat suspensions
RS4PC or RS6PC or the optional ratchet suspensions RS4RC or
RS6RC by following the directions on instruction sheet attached
to headband on hard hat. Read all hard hat warning labels and
instructions. The following Bullard hard hat models are NIOSH
approved for use with CC20 Series respirator hoods: C30, C30R,
S51 and S51R.
2. If desired, install and adjust optional ES42 hard hat chinstrap.
3. Before inserting hard hat into hood, remove the two adhesive-
backed Velcro
®
strips attached to the Velcro piece that is sewn into
the hood (see Figures 7 & 8).
4. Peel the backing off the longer Velcro tab and apply it to the inside
center rear of the hard hat, about 1/4" up from the edge. Apply
shorter Velcro tab to the underside of the brim of the hard hat
(see Figure 7).
5. Insert hard hat into respirator hood with cap visor facing front of
hood (see Figure 6).
6. Tuck cap brim on top of front elastic Velcro band sewn into hood
(see Figure 7).
7. Loop the Velcro strip sewn inside the hood around the back of the
cap and affix it to the corresponding Velcro tab previously installed
inside the hard hat in step 4 (see Figure 8).
8. Remove protective plastic from plastic lens of respirator hood. If
desired, apply optional 20LC or 20LCL adhesive-backed lens covers
designed to protect the respirator’s plastic lens. Apply 2-3 lenses
at a time. When lens becomes soiled, remove by pulling tab at edge
of lens cover to clear your vision.
