Fitting Instructions

Note - do not use with beards or other facial hair

that may inhibit contact between the face and the

edge of the respirator.

1. Cup the respirator in your

hand with the

nosepiece at your

fingertips allowing the head-

bands to hang freely below

your hand.

2. Position the respirator

under your chin with the

nosepiece up.

3. 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.

4. Place the fingertips of

both hands at the top of the

metal nosepiece. Mould the

nosepiece to the shape of

your nose by pushing

inward while moving your

fingertips down both sides

of the nosepiece. Pinching

the nosepiece using one

hand may result in less

effective respirator

per formance.

5. The seal of the respirator on

the face should be

fit-checked prior to wearing in

the work area.

a) Cover the front of the respi-

rator with both hands, being

careful not to disturb the posi-

tion of respir ator.

b) Inhale sharply.

A negative pressure should be

felt inside the res pirator. If any

leakage is detected, adjust

position of respirator and/ or

tension of strap. Retest the

seal. Repeat

the procedure until the

respirator is sealed properly.
