PX5®or the PX4 AIR®PAPR
See Respirator Component Diagram (page 7). The RPB®Z4®is only approved to be used with the
RPB®PX5®or the RPB®PX4 AIR®PAPR. Use only authentic RPB®brand parts and components
that are part of the approved respirator assembly. Using incomplete or inappropriate equipment,
including the use of counterfeit or non-RPB®parts, can result in inadequate protection and will
void the approval of the entire respirator. Do not modify or alter any part of this product.
Inspect all components daily for signs of damage or wear and tear that may reduce the level of
protection originally provided. Remove any damaged component or product, including any visor
that has been subject to impact, from service until repaired or replaced. Scratched or damaged
safety lenses or other components should be replaced with genuine RPB®brand replacement
parts. When safety and impact lenses are replaced, make sure to remove any additional
protective film from both sides of the lens. If the film is left in place, it could affect the optical
clarity of the lens and cause eye strain. Inspect the inside of the respirator for respirable dust or
other foreign objects. Keep the inside of the respirator clean at all times.
Make sure that the helmet is correctly assembled in the configuration that suits your application.
Never use the respirator without all lenses in place. This includes the Safety Lens, Impact Lens,
the ADF, and the rear ADF Lens. These lenses, when installed properly, are part of the respiratory
seal to prevent toxic or hazardous gases, liquids or dust from entering the helmet. An incomplete
or improperly installed lens system could provide inadequate impact and respiratory protection.
