NOTE
You are now ready to enter the contaminated area for which this respirator was designed.
EMERGENCY DURING USE
Immediately leave the contaminated area if breathing becomes difficult; you become dizzy or disoriented; you smell, taste or
otherwise sense contaminants; or your respirator becomes damaged.
SERVICE LIFE
When this respirator is used for protection from gases or vapors with defined occupational exposure limits, you must follow a
change-out schedule to assure the cartridges are changed before the end of their useful life. If the cartridges have an End-of-
Service-Life Indicator (ESLI), the cartridges must be changed per the instructions that come with the ESLI cartridge. Filters must
be replaced when breathing becomes difficult.
REMOVING THE RESPIRATOR
WARNING
Loosen the head straps by pulling up and releasing the head strap latches (Figure 12). Remove the respirator.
CLEANING YOUR FACEPIECE
During breaks and between a more thorough cleaning, a refresher wipe pad may be used to clean the portion of the mask that
comes in contact with your face. For a thorough cleaning:
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 Appendix B requires either a
Positive or a Negative User Seal Check following the Manufacturer’s
instructions. CSA recommends following the Manufacturer’s instructions, and provides guidelines for a Positive and Negative
User Seal Check in Z94.4 Annex A.
Honeywell provides instructions for both seal checks since many Industrial Hygienists prefer the use of both methods, but only
one of either two methods needs to be conducted. If you are conducting both a Positive and a Negative User Seal Check,
conduct the Positive Seal Check first.
Before removing your respirator you must go to an area with uncontaminated air.
Failure to follow this warning will result in the risk of serious injury, illness or death
