S-Special or Critical Use Instructions
3M™ Mercury Vapor Cartridges (6009 and 60929) are equipped with passive 3M™ End of Service Life
Indicators (ESLI). The color change indicator must be readily visible when wearing the respirator without
manipulation. If you cannot readily see the ESLI, do not use. Mercury vapor cartridges must be discarded
when the ESLI changes color; or within 30 days of opening packaging; or when ESLI becomes dirty or
damaged; or when odors of vapors or gases become noticeable, whichever occurs first. Mercury vapor has
no odor.
To assemble 3M™ Dual Airline Combination Breathing Tubes with 3M™ Cartridges/Filters, the facepiece
inhalation valves must be removed.
If the facepiece is to be used in air purifying mode (without using the 3M™ SA-1600 or SA-2600 breathing
tubes), the inhalation valves must be replaced in the facepiece before use.
Use of the 3M™ 6894 Nose Cup Assembly with the 3M™ 6000DIN Series Full Facepieces must be in
accordance with the NIOSH approval for the system being used.
–Nose cup is not to be used with the Powerflow™ Face-Mounted PAPR
–Nose cup use is optional with 3M™ GVP and Breathe Easy™ Belt-Mounted PAPR systems.
–Nose cup must be used for all other 6000DIN facepiece applications.
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 requires that employers provide breathing air for supplied air respirator
systems which “shall meet at least the requirements of the specification for Grade D breathing air as
described in the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification ANSI/CGA G-7.1-1997.” Testing of
output air from a compressor against this standard is required prior to using with a supplied air respirator.
In Canada, breathing air systems must be supplied with air which meets at least the requirements in Table 1
of CSA Standard Z180.1-2000. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
