OPERATION
DONNING THE RESPIRATOR
1. Remove the respirator from its storage location/case.

greater than the service life of the cylinder. Cylinder
life varies with the work rate of the individual and may
be shorter with heavy work loads. Failure to follow this
warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
