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
headbands 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
performance.
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 respirator.
b) Exhale sharply.
A positive pressure should be
felt inside the respirator. 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.
