Fitting Instructions
Must be followed each time respirator is worn.
1. Cup the respirator in your hand, with the nosepiece at your
ngertips, allowing the headbands to hang freely below
your hand (Fig. 1).
2. Position the respirator under your chin with the nosepiece
up. Pull the top strap over your head resting it high at the top
back of your head. Pull the bottom strap over your head and
position it around the neck below the ears (Fig. 2).
3. Place your ngertips from both hands at the top of the metal
nosepiece. Using two hands, mold the nose area to the
shape of your nose by pushing inward while moving your
ngertips down both sides of the nosepiece (Fig. 3).
W Pinching the nosepiece using one hand may result in
improper t and less effective respirator performance. Use
two hands.
4. Perform a User Seal Check prior to each wearing. To check
the respirator-to-face seal, place both hands completely over
the respirator and inhale sharply. Be careful not to disturb
the position of the respirator. A negative pressure should be
felt inside the respirator. If air leaks around nose, readjust the
nosepiece as described in step 3. If air leaks at the respirator
edges, work the straps back along the sides of your head.
If you CANNOT achieve a proper seal, DO NOT enter the
contaminated area. See your supervisor.
Removal Instructions
See step 2 of Fitting Instructions and cup respirator in hand to maintain position on face. Pull bottom strap over head. Still
holding respirator in position, pull top strap over head and remove respirator.
