area for a limited time.

Inhaled air is drawn through the canister/cartridge(s),
which contains adsorbents and a filter that removes or
neutralizes specific contaminations. Exhaled air leaves the
facepiece through the exhalation valve.
It is important that the user becomes familiar with the
application and operation of the Advantage 3000 APR
Respirator and ensures that it fits properly before use.
When properly fitted to the user, the Advantage 3000 full
facepiece with nosecup and head harness, combined with
the appropriate canister/cartridge(s), becomes a complete
respiratory protective device.
The respirator consists of the following subassemblies:
• full facepiece (with optional nosecup)
• filter canister/cartridge(s)
Facepiece size is identified on the front of the facepiece
on the lower left head harness attachment.
These facepieces do not pertain to the NIOSH-
approved CBRN application. Contact MSA at 1-800-
MSA-2222 for the correct facepiece. Failure to follow
this warning can result in serious personal injury or
death.
