USING THE RESPIRATOR
DECONTAMINATION
The OptimAir MM 2K may be used in
some applications which may require
decontamination of personal and respi-
ratory equipment before the respirator
may be removed. One such application
is asbestos-exposure decontamination.
Turn the motor-blower off before enter-
ing a decontamination shower. The
OptimAir MM 2K still provides respira-
tory protection with the motor-blower
off, because all air is still drawn through
the filter. However, breathing resistance
will be greater than when the motor-
blower is supplying air to the facepiece.
REMOVING THE RESPIRATOR
1. Return to fresh air and clean the
outer surfaces of the respirator
before removing the facepiece.
2. Turn the power switch off.
3. Place your fingertips behind the
headstraps. Place your thumbs on
the buckles.
4. Pull the top of the buckles away
from your head. Repeat as needed
to loosen the headstraps.
5. Grip the facepiece by the inhalation
housing.
6. Pull the facepiece
out, then up over
your head.
Do not pull the Ultravue facepiece by
the exhalation valve assembly. The
facepiece rubber or the valve assem-
bly can be damaged.
7. Remove the retaining clip from your
shirt or belt.
8. Remove the support belt. Be careful
that you do not drop the battery
pack.
