7. Before connecting your respirator to the
air supply hose, turn the pump on. Allow
the air to flow through the pump and hose
for a few minutes to purge or expel any
hose odors or moisture that may have
accumulated inside the hose.
8. Connect the respirator to the air supply
hose using the quick-disconnect fittings.
9. With the air flowing, put on the respirator
by following the directions in the respirator
manufacturer’s instruction manual.
10. Set the pump’s outlet pressure to within
the respirator’s approved pressure range
by adjusting the pressure adjustment
valve located on the outlet filter body.
To set the pressure adjustment valve,
loosen the lock nut. Once the desired
outlet pressure has been obtained,
retighten the lock nut firmly by hand to
maintain consistent outlet pressure. (see
Figure 8).
YOU ARE NOW READY TO ENTER
THE WORK AREA.
11. When finished working, leave the work
area wearing the respirator with the air
still flowing. Once outside the contaminat-
ed area, remove the respirator, turn the
pump off, then disconnect the air supply
hose using the quick-disconnect couplers.
See the respirator’s instruction manual for
proper inspection, maintenance and
storage procedures for the respirator you
are using.
