Fitting Instructions

NOTE: Assemble cartridges/filters before wearing.

Negative Pressure Fit Check

NOTE: Assemble cartridges/filters before wearing.
Seal both respiratory filters and/or cartridges with your palms and breathe in until a negative pressure (suction) is generated (see Fig.4). Hold your breath for a moment. If you feel the respirator is slightly collapsing, pull closer to your face with no leaks between the face and the face piece. In this way, a proper fit has been achieved. If not, readjust the face piece and/or readjust the straps to eliminate the air leakage. Repeat the test until a successful fit check is achieved.

PERFORM A NEGATIVE PRESSURE FACE FIT CHECK. IF YOU CAN NOT ACHIEVE A PROPER FIT, DO NOT ENTER THE CONTAMINATED AREA.
