Bullard’s LANCER™airline respirator, when properly used, provides a continu-
ous flow of air from a remote air source to the respirator wearer. The LANCER
respirator offers protection from airborne contaminants not immediately danger-
ous to life or health (IDLH) that do not exceed concentrations allowed by
applicable OSHA, EPA, NIOSH or ACGIH regulations and recommendations.
The LANCER airline respirator is approved by NIOSH (Approval no.
TC-19C-309) to provide respiratory protection in general purpose applications
including heavy- and light-duty abrasive blasting, and painting applications
(Type C and CE). The protective helmet meets ANSI Standard Z89.1-1969
(except weight) Class A requirements for protective headwear for industrial
workers. The cape and optional parka protect the worker’s body from abrasive
rebound.
The LANCER respirator must be used with compatible breathingairsourcessuch
as breathing air compressors or Bullard Free-Air®pumps. Bullard offers the
appropriate approved breathing tube assembly and air supply hose to connect
the LANCER respirator to these breathing air sources.
The LANCER airline respirator is approved by NIOSHfor use with Bullard's
optional ACL99 climate control device.

1. This respirator, when properly fitted and used, significantly reduces, but does
not completely eliminate, the breathing of contaminants by the respirator
wearer. Where excessive airborne contaminant levels are found, respirator
wearers may obtain a higher level of protection from a valve-operated pres-
sure-demand airline respirator or a pressure-demand self-contained breath-
ing apparatus respirator.
If you cannot attain a proper fit, try another mask size and go through the
same steps outlined on page 13 of this manual. If a proper fit is still not
achieved, do not use the respirator.
2. Prior to using this or any respirator, Federal law requires that your employer
measure and monitor airborne contaminant levels in the work area to assure
that concentrations do not exceed those allowed by OSHA, EPA, NIOSH or
ACGIH.
3. Improper respirator use may damage your health and/or cause your death.
Improper use may also cause certain life threatening delayed lung diseases
such as silicosis, pneumoconiosis or asbestosis.
4. Do not wear this respirator if any of the following conditions exist.
- Atmosphere is immediately dangerous to your life or health.
- You CANNOT escape without the aid of the respirator.
- Atmosphere contains less than 19.5% oxygen.
- Work area is poorly ventilated.
- Unknown contaminants are present.
- Contaminants are in excess of regulations or recommendations (as
described in item 2 above).
5. OSHA regulations recommend that you DO NOT wear this respirator until
you have passed a complete physical exam (perhaps including a lung x-ray)
conducted by qualified medical personnel, and have been trained in the res-
pirator’s use, maintenance and limitations by a qualified individual (appoint-
ed by your employer) who has extensive knowledge of Bullard’s LANCER™
respirator.
6. DO NOT modify or alter this respirator in any manner. Use only NIOSH-
approved LANCER components and replacement parts manufactured by
Bullard for use with this respirator.
Failure to use NIOSH-approved Bullard components and replacement parts
such as lenses, air delivery system, hoses, flow control devices and capes,
voids NIOSH approval, invalidates all Bullard warranties, and may cause
death, lung disease or exposure to other hazardous or life threatening condi-
tions.
7. Inspect all components of this respirator system daily for signs of wear, tear
or damage that might reduce the degree of protection originally provided.
WARNINGS

Immediately replace worn or damaged components with NIOSH-approved
Bullard LANCER™components or remove the respirator from service. (See
INSPECTION, CLEANING AND STORAGE section on pages 16 through
19 for proper maintenance of LANCER respirators.)
8. Be certain your employer has determined that the breathing air source pro-
vides at least Grade D breathable air. This respirator must be supplied with
cleanbreathableair at all times.See page 8for a definition of Grade D
breathable air.
9. DO NOT connect the respirator’s air supply hose to nitrogen, toxic gases,
inert gases or other unbreathable, non-Grade D air sources. Check the air
source before using the respirator. Failure to connect to and monitor the
proper air source may result in serious injury or death. DO NOT use a quick-
disconnect coupling at the point-of-attachment when using a V10 air supply
hose. Use only a V12 or V13 fitting.
10. DO NOT use this respirator in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces
such as tanks, small rooms, tunnels or vessels unless the confined space
is well-ventilated and the contaminant concentrations are below the upper
limit recommended for this respirator. In addition, follow all procedures for
confined space entry, operation and exit as defined in applicable regula-
tions and standards, including 29 CFR 1910.146.
11. This respirator is not for use in any atmosphere immediately dangerous to
life or health (IDHL), or from which the wearer cannot escape without the
aid of the respirator. If you are not sure whether the atmosphere you are
working in is immediately dangerous to your life or health, ask your employ-
er. If you have questions regarding the use of this respirator, ask your
employer or call Bullard at 800-827-0423. All instructions for the use and
care of this product must be supplied to you by your employer as recom-
mended by the manufacturer and as required by Federal Law (29 CFR

operations. It can be worn for general
purpose applications, including heavy-
and light-duty abrasive blasting, and
spray painting.
This respirator is not for use in any
atmosphere immediately dangerous
to life or health (IDLH), or from which
the wearer cannot escape without the
aid of the respirator.
HEAD
LANCER™respirators meet ANSI
Standard Z89.1-1969 (except weight)
Class A requirements for protective
headwear for industrial workers. The
helmet is designed to provide limited
head protection by reducing the force
of falling objects striking the top of the
helmet.
FACE
The respirator’s inner window meets
ANSI Z87.1-1989 requirements for
face protection. When fitted with the
proper Bullard lens, it provides limited
face protection from flying particles or
spray of hazardous liquids, but is not
shatterproof.
EYES
LANCER respirators DO NOT provide
primary eye protection. Wear approved
safety glasses or goggles at all times.
HEARING
LANCER respirators DO NOT provide
hearing protection. Use properly fitted
hearing protection when exposed to
high noise levels.
AIR QUALITY
WARNING :
THIS RESPIRATOR
MUST BE SUPPLIED WITH CLEAN,
BREATHABLE AIR, GRADE D OR
BETTER, AT ALL TIMES. THIS RESPI-
RATOR DOES NOT PURIFY AIR OR
FILTER OUT CARBON MONOXIDE,
NITROGEN OR OTHER CONTAMI-
NANTS.
Respirable, breathable air must be
supplied to the point-of-attachment of
the approved Bullard air supply hose.
The point-of-attachment is where the
air supply hose connects to the fitting
that contains a pressure gauge used
to monitor the pressure of air provided
to the respirator wearer (see Figure 2
and Figure 3).
Supplied breathing air must AT
LEAST meet the requirements for
Type 1 gaseous air as described in

AIR SOURCE
Locate the source of supplied air
(whether it is a breathing air compres-
sor or an ambient air pump) in a clean
air environment. Locate the air source
far enough from your work site to
ensure the air remains contaminant-
free. Always use an inlet filter on your
air source.
Use suitable after-cooler/dryers, fil-
ters, carbon monoxide monitors and
alarms as necessary to assure clean,
breathable air at all times.
The air should be regularly sampled
to be sure that it meets Grade D
requirements.
Air pressure must be continually mon-
itored at the point-of-attachment while
operating this respirator. A reliable air
pressure gauge must be present to
permit you to continually monitor the
pressure during actual respirator
operation.
DANGER :
FAILURE TO SUP-
PLY THE MINIMUM REQUIRED
PRESSURE AT THE POINT-OF-
ATTACHMENT FOR YOUR HOSE
LENGTH AND TYPE MAY REDUCE
AIRFLOW AND MAY EXPOSE YOU
TO LIFE THREATENING CONDI-
TIONS, DISEASES OR DEATH.
The Breathing Air Pressure Table (see
page 9) defines the air pressure ranges
necessary for LANCER™respirators.
Make sure you understand the infor-
mation in the Breathing Air Pressure
Table before using this respirator.
1. Determine the type of air source
(column 1) and breathing tube
assembly (column 2) you are using.
2. Be sure your Bullard air supply
hose(s) (column 3) is (are) approved
for use with your breathing tube
assembly.
3. Determine that your Bullard air sup-
ply hose is within the approved
length (column 4).
4. Make sure you have not exceeded
the maximum number of hose sec-
tions (column 5).
5. Set the air pressure at the point-of-
attachment within the required
pressure range (column 6) for your
breathing tube assembly, and air
supply hose type and length.
Accurate pressure readings can
only be attained when air is flowing
into the respirator.

NIOSH-approved Bullard air supply
hose(s)MUST be used betweenthe
breathing tube connection fitting on
the wearer’s belt and the point-of-
attachment to the air supply (see
Figure 3).
NIOSH-approved Bullard quick-dis-
connect fittings MUST be used to con-
nect V20 hose lengths together.
When connecting lengths of V10
hose, only use Bullard V11 hose-to-
hoseadaptors. Secure connection(s)
until wrench tight and leak free. Total
connected hose length and number of
hose lengths MUST be within the
ranges specified on the Breathing Air
Pressure Table below and the respira-
tor's NIOSH approval label (see page
1).
The breathing tube connection fitting
MUST be secured to the belt that is
supplied with this respirator. Securing
the breathing tube connection fitting
helps prevent the air supply hose
from snagging, disconnecting or pulling
the respirator helmet off your head.

GENERAL
Before using your LANCER™respira-
tor, complete the assembly instruc-
tions given on pages 11 and 12.
Before donning, make sure there is
no dirt, dust or contaminants inside the
helmet.
1. Lace belt through the belt loop on
the breathing tube and don belt,
adjusting fit for comfort. The airflow
control fitting should be positioned
on the wearer’s right or left. Verify
that the rubber gasket is in the gar-
den hose nut on the end of the
breathing tube. This must be pre-
sent as it helps provide a tight seal
to the airflow control fitting. Make
sure that the airflow control fitting is
securely fastened to breathing tube
and air delivery system.
2. With the breathing tube assembly
attached to theAir DeliverySystem,
slip the system over your head
(Figure 11). Straighten knitted neck
cuff by gently pulling the cuff
upward toward the chin.
3. Connect the Bullard air supply hose
to the air source supplying Grade D
breathable air. Turnonthe air source.
4. Connect breathing tube assembly
to air supply hose (see Figure 12).
Connect quick-disconnect fitting on
breathing tube assembly to quick-
disconnect coupler on air supply
hose. Once fitting is secured,
release coupling sleeve to lock fit-
tings together. Pull on both hoses
to make sure they are attached
securely.
5. Adjust air pressure at point-of-
attachment to within the approved
pressure range (see Figure 12).
See the Breathing Air Pressure
Table (page 9) for approved pres-
sure ranges.
DONNING THE HALF MASK
WARNING :
INDIVIDUALS WITH
FACIAL HAIR MAY BE UNABLE TO
OBTAIN A TIGHT FIT WITH THIS
RESPIRATOR. AN UNSATISFACTORY
FACE SEAL MAY RESULT IN LEAK-
AGE WHICH REDUCES OR LIMITS
THE PROTECTION INTENDED. DO
NOT USE A RESPIRATOR THAT DOES

ably on your face. Adjust headband
straps on both sides to produce a
comfortable fit and tight seal by
pulling on the four headband straps
(Figure 14).
9. PERFORM A NEGATIVE PRES-
SURE FIT CHECK
a. With facepiece on and secured,
close off the opening to the
mask's connector with a finger.
b. Inhale until the mask collapses
inward slightly (indicating there
is negative pressure). Hold your
breath for five seconds.
c. The mask is deemed to be in
proper position if it remained
collapsed while the breath was
being held and no inward leak-
age of outside air was detected.
d.Ifmask doesn't collapse or inward
leak is detected, readjust mask
on face and repeat above steps
until this test is passed.
10. To connect the mask to the air
deliverysystem, screwthe mask’s
hose connector onto the male fit-
ting that is sewn in the front cen-
ter of the air delivery system (see
Figure 15). DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN.
11. With the air flowing into the mask,
perform the following fit test:
a. Move your head from side to
side.
b. Look down and then up.
Repeat this several times.
If ANY leakage of air is detected
around the perimeter of the mask
or you feel the seal break, the
mask is not properly fitted. Take
the mask off and re-don the mask
starting with “Donning the Half
Mask” on page 13 of this manual.
Repeat these tasks until the mask
fits correctly and no outward leak-
age is detected.
WARNING :
IF YOU CANNOT
ATTAINA PROPER FIT,TRY ANOTH-
ER MASK SIZE AND GO THROUGH
THE SAME STEPS OUTLINED

WARNING
LEAVE WORK AREA IMMEDIATELY IF:
- Any respirator component becomes damaged.
- Airflow into respirator helmet stops or slows down.
- Air pressure gauge drops below the minimum specified in the
Breathing Air Pressure Table (page 9).
- Breathing becomes difficult.
- You become dizzy, nauseous, too hot, too cold or ill.
- You taste, smell or see contaminants inside respirator
helmet.
- Vision becomes impaired.
WARNING
Do not leave respirator in work area. Respirable dust contaminants
can remain suspended in the air for more than one hour after work
activity ceases, even though you may not see them. Proper work
practice requires you to wear the respirator until you are outside the
contaminated area. Failure to don, doff and store the respirator out-
side of contaminated area could result in exposure to contaminants.
15
Figure 18
17. Pull outer cape around your body
and secure sides by connecting
the snap hooks. If using the parka,
ask a co-worker to zip the parka
closed (Figure 18).
18. Recheck air pressure and adjust if
necessary.
19. With air flowing into your respira-
tor, you are now ready to enter
work area.
When finished working, leave work
area wearing the respirator with air
still flowing. Once outside the contam-
inated area, remove respirator:
- Unhook the cape snap hooks
and flip cape's panels back over the
helmet.
- Pull on yellow loop on the front of
the air delivery system to disengage
air delivery system from helmet.
Finish doffing, then disconnect the
air supply hose using the quick-dis-
connect fittings.
NOTE: If using V20 Series (1/2" I.D.)
air supply hose, the hose quick-dis-
connect coupler does not have a
shut-off valve. Therefore, air will con-
tinue to flow freely after disconnecting
hose from respirator.
Doffing

Bullard’s LANCER™respirators have a
limited service life. Therefore, a regu-
lar inspection and replacement pro-
gram must be conducted. Certain
parts such as capes, Air Delivery
System, and lenses must be replaced
frequently using only Bullard parts.
The LANCER respirator and all com-
ponent parts and assemblies should
be inspected for damage or excessive
wear, before and after each use, to
ensure proper functioning.
Immediately remove the respirator
from service and replace parts or
assemblies that show any sign of fail-
ure or excessive wear that might
reduce the degree of protection.
Use only Bullard LANCER compo-
nents and replacement parts. Refer to
parts list for correct part numbers.
Because respirator use and the quali-
ty of maintenance performed vary
with each job site, it is impossible to
provide a specific time frame for res-
pirator replacement. As a general
guideline, with proper maintenance,
the LANCER respirator should be
replaced after two years of service or
less.
This respirator should be cleaned and
sanitized at least weekly, or more
often if subjected to heavy use.
Respirators used by more than one
person must be cleaned, inspected
and sanitized after each use. If not
cleaned, contamination may cause ill-
ness or disease.
REMEMBER, THE AIR YOUBREATHE
WILL NOT BE CLEAN UNLESS THE
RESPIRATOR YOU WEAR IS CLEAN.
INSPECTION: Remove the cape from
the respirator helmet and inspect it for
rips, tears or damage from excessive
wear that might reduce the degree of
protection originally provided.
If you detect any of these signs,
replace your cape immediately or

INSPECTION: Remove the suspen-
sion from the helmet. Inspect suspen-
sion system for cracks, frayed or cut
crown straps, torn headband or size
adjustment slots, loss of pliability or
other signs of excessive wear.
If damage is detected, replace parts
immediately with Bullard replacement
parts or remove the respirator from
service.
CLEANING: The suspension should
be hand-sponged with warm water
and mild detergent, rinsed and air-
dried. After cleaning and before
reassembling, once again carefully
inspect the parts for signs of damage.
INSPECTION: Inspect the helmet for
nicks, gouges, cracks, holes and any
damage due to impact, rough treat-
ment or wear. Check areas around all
rivets for signs of stress cracking.
If damage is detected, replace parts
immediately with Bullard replacement
parts or remove the respirator from
service.
CLEANING: The helmet and window
frame should be hand-sponged with
warm water and mild detergent,
rinsed and air-dried.
After cleaning and before reassem-
bling, once again carefully inspect the
helmet and parts for signs of damage.
INSPECTION: Be sure the plastic
inner lens fits securely in the black
window frame gasket. Remove any
grit or dust from the gasket. Be sure
the plastic outer lens is installed
underneath the clamps on the back of
the outer window frame. It should be
positioned within the one upper and
two lower positioning points. Inspect
the window frame gasket closely for
cuts, wear or damage that will prevent
a proper seal against the inner
faceshield lens or the helmet window
frame.
CLEANING: To clean the lenses,
hand-sponge with warm water and
mild detergent, rinse and air-dry.

stiffening, swelling and/or distortion.
Inspect the headband for permanently
stretched, stiffened, decomposed,
frayed or cut straps. The cradle head-
band must be in good operating con-
dition at all times. A damaged head-
band may prevent proper sealing of
the respirator mask to the face.
If any of the above signs are detected
immediately remove the respirator
from service and replace the neces-
sary parts before reuse.
CLEANING: The mask and its parts
should be cleaned with warm water
(about 120° F) and mild detergent or
a germicidal disinfecting detergent.

may be scrubbed gently with a cloth
or soft brush. All foreign matter must
be removed carefully from the sur-
faces of the exhalation valve flaps
and seats.
Wipe any areas still showing accumu-
lations of foreign matter with a cloth
moistened in a detergent or a solvent
such as mineral spirit.
