WARNING
LEAVE WORK AREA IMMEDIATELY IF:
- Any respirator component becomes damaged.
- Airflow into respirator helmet stops or slows down.
- Air pressure gauge drops below the minimum specified in the
Breathing Air Pressure Table (page 9).
- Breathing becomes difficult.
- You become dizzy, nauseous, too hot, too cold or ill.
- You taste, smell or see contaminants inside respirator
helmet.
- Vision becomes impaired.
WARNING
Do not leave respirator in work area. Respirable dust contaminants
can remain suspended in the air for more than one hour after work
activity ceases, even though you may not see them. Proper work
practice requires you to wear the respirator until you are outside the
contaminated area. Failure to don, doff and store the respirator out-
side of contaminated area could result in exposure to contaminants.

18. Recheck air pressure and adjust if
necessary.
19. With air flowing into your respira-
tor, you are now ready to enter
work area.
When finished working, leave work
area wearing the respirator with air
still flowing. Once outside the contam-
inated area, remove respirator:
- Unhook the cape snap hooks
and flip cape's panels back over the
helmet.
- Pull on yellow loop on the front o f
the air delivery system to disengage
air delivery system from helmet.
Finish doffing, then disconnect the
air supply hose using the quick-dis-
connect fittings.
NOTE: If using V20 Series (1/2" I.D.)
air supply hose, the hose quick-dis-
connect coupler does not have a
shut-off valve. Therefore, air will con-
tinue to flow freely after disconnecting
hose from respirator.
