1. Check to ensure gasket is present between facepiece and mask-
mounted regulator and is not damaged.
2. Connect the regulator to the facepiece. With the red purge valve
in the 12 o’clock position, align the two flats of the outlet port with
corresponding flats in the facepiece port and insert. Rotate the
regulator counterclockwise (viewed from inside of facepiece) so
that the red purge valve knob is situated on the left side of the
facepiece. The lock tab on the mask-mounted regulator will lock
into the facepiece retainer with a “click.” If properly engaged, the
regulator will not rotate.
3. To reattach a breathing regulator equipped with a quick disconnect
to the respirator, see FIGURE 8.
4. Verify that the respirator is thoroughly dry before placing in stor-
age.
5. Place the clean and dry facepiece in a sealable enclosure to
protect until next use. Store in a manner that will not distort the
face seals.
6. Place the respirator in the carrying case, protective container, or
in a suitable storage location.
7. If any damage or deterioration is noted, remove the respirator
from service and tag for repair.
