breathing air to verify that the pressure is within the approved range. Adjust the pressure, as needed,
within that range. Connect the supplied air hose to the breathing air source. Air should begin flowing.
Place your hand inside the headgear, in the area above the faceshield. You should feel the air entering
the headgear.
Check to be sure that the breathing tube is securely clamped over the helmet air inlet and connected to
the air control device securely, according to the User Instructions for the air control device you are using.
Put the respirator on your head so that the faceshield is directly in front of your face.
Pull the suspension firmly onto your head. Turn your head from side to side, then nod your head up
and down. If the suspension does not fit your head snugly or if the height on your head or the balance
of the headgear is not comfortable, remove the headgear and adjust the suspension according to the
“Assembly” section of these User Instructions.
Secure the chin strap if necessary for greater stability.

WARNING
Your employer must provide compressed breathing air that meets at least the requirements of the
specification for Grade D breathing air as described in the Compressed Gas Association Commodity
Specification G-7.1-1997 in the United States. In Canada, refer to CSA standard Z180.1, table for
the quality of compressed breathing air. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
You must comply with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.134, which states that, “Airline couplings
shall be incompatible with outlets for other gas systems to prevent inadvertent servicing of airline
respirators with nonrespirable gases or oxygen.” Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
Don the Respirator
Do not remove the respirator while in a contaminated area. Always don and remove the respirator in a
clean environment. Failure to do so may expose the wearer to respiratory hazards and could result in
sickness or death.
1. Verify that the respirator is connected to the proper air source and that air is flowing before donning
the respirator.
2. Verify that the air pressure at the point where the air supply hose is attached to the air source is in
the required range of the air control device.
3. Put the respirator on your head so that the faceshield is directly in front of your face.
4. Pull the suspension firmly onto your head. If the suspension does not fit your head snugly or if the
height on your head or the balance of the headgear is not comfortable, remove the headgear and
adjust the suspension according to the, “Assembly” section of these User Instructions.
5. Pull the chin strap under your chin. If the chin strap does not fit snugly, remove the headgear and
adjust the strap according to the “Assembly” section of these User Instructions.
6. With the helmet on your head, pull the inner shroud down around the shoulders or tuck it inside
your shirt. Tucking the inner shroud inside your shirt may allow air to flow over your upper body for
greater comfort.
7. Pull the outer shroud down in the front and back. To keep the outer shroud in the proper position,
pull the elastic straps on the front panel of the outer shroud around the side of your body and fasten
the metal clips to the D-rings on the back panel of the outer shroud.
Check to be sure that the compressed air hose is not kinked or twisted. It should be protected from
sharp objects and heavy equipment that could roll over the hose.
