Not for use in atmospheres immediately
dangerous to life or health.
Do not exceed maximum use concentra-
tions established by regulatory standards.
Air line respirators can be used only when
the respirators are supplied with respirable
air meeting the requirements of CGA G-7.1
Grade D or higher quality.
Use only the pressure ranges and hose
lengths specified in the instruction manual.
Do not use respirator if airflow is less than
4 cfm (115 lpm) for tight fitting face pieces
or 6 cfm (170 lpm) for hoods and/or hel-
mets.
Failure to properly use and maintain this
product could result in injury or death.
All approved respirators shall be selected,
fitted, used and maintained in accordance
with MSHA, OSHA and other applicable
regulations.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Risk of illness or death. Never
use this respirator in an area
where the atmosphere is imme-
diately hazardous to life or
health. In an emergency, the
wearer must be able to escape
from the work area without the
need of a respirator.
The air supplied must be of
breathable quality and confirm
to 42 CFR 84.141 (a) (b) and the
relevant national standards.
The air intake of the compressor is espe-
cially vulnerable to all types of carbon
monoxide sources. The air compressor air
intake must be located in an area where
the air being compressed is clean and
free of airborne contaminants.
Breathable air source must be of a grade
“D” level or higher. This consists of the
following:
Oxygen
= 19.5 to 23.5% (typical atmo-
spheric levels)
Oil (condensed)
= 5 mg/m (miligrams per
cubic meter)
Carbon monoxide
= 10 ppm (parts per
million) max.
Carbon dioxide
= 1000 ppm (parts per
million) max.
Odor
= The presence of a pronounced
odor should render the air as unsatisfac-
tory
Test the compressed air supply for the
presence of carbon monoxide. This can be
accomplished by the use of a Gas Detector
Tube or Electronic Carbon Monoxide Moni-
tor. The testing should be done immedi-
ately.
If carbon monoxide is found, the cause
must be located and corrected before the
worker can use the respirator from that
air supply.
Carbon monoxide can cause
nausea, fainting or death. Stop
using the air supply if carbon
monoxide is present. A Carbon
Monoxide Monitor does not re-
move carbon monoxide.
