PREPARING THE RESPIRATOR FOR USE

CHECKPOINTS BEFORE USE

1. Check that all parts of the respirator are complete and

undamaged. See Inspection section for Inspections
Procedures.

2. Check that the filter canister/cartridge(s) approval is

appropriate and effective against the contaminant in
the environment.

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE CANIS-
TER/CARTRIDGE(S)

Know the contaminant(s) in the environment before
entering. Always check that the filter canis-
ter/cartridge(s) is appropriate for use in the environ-
ment. A filter canister/cartridge(s) which is not
designed for the contaminant present may not provide
protection. Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious personal injury or death.

After verifying that the canister/cartridge(s) type is
appropriate for use in the environment:

1. Verify shelf life expiration date on carton, bag, and

canister/cartridge(s) label has not been exceeded.

DO NOT use an expired canister/cartridge(s). Failure
to follow this warning can result in serious personal
injury or death.

DO NOT use the canister/cartridge(s) if the bag is
opened, damaged, or missing. The canister/cartridge(s)
must be in its original packaging prior to use in a cont-
aminated environment. Do not reuse the canis-
ter/cartridge(s). Failure to follow this warning can
result in serious personal injury or death.

2. Remove canister/cartridge(s) from its packaging.
3. Inspect the canister/cartridge(s) to be sure that it is

not damaged.

4. Thread the filter canister/cartridge(s) into the facepiece

port and hand-tighten. If the canister has a standard
40 mm thread, remove adapter P/N 96547 (if applica-
ble).

Use the canister/cartridge(s) immediately upon opening
the bag.

Note:

For gas mask canister, refer to the shelf life section

for storing the canister outside the packaging.

Discard canister/cartridge(s) after each use.

Replace the canister/cartridge(s) after each use. Follow
the established canister/cartridge(s) change-out sched-
ules to ensure that canister/cartridge(s) are replaced
before breakthrough occurs. When used at defined occu-
pational exposure limits, the rated service time cannot be
exceeded.

Replacement of the Mersorb-P100 cartridge must occur
at or before the end-of-service-life indicator turns brown
in color.

The GMT cartridge must not exceed a 60 minute use
time.

After using the respirator in a gas mask application for
escape, the canister must be replaced before reusing the
respirator.

DO NOT replace canister/cartridge(s) in a contaminat-
ed area. Be sure to follow applicable decontamination
procedures. Failure to follow this warning can cause
inhalation of contaminated air, resulting in serious res-
piratory injury or death.

When the mask is adjusted properly, the wearer should
not taste or smell the contaminant, or experience eye,
nose, or throat irritation. The wearer's inhalation resis-
tance should be as experienced during training.

If the respirator does not perform as specified, it must
not be used until it has been checked by authorized
personnel. Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious personal injury or death.

Return to a non-contaminated area immediately if you
experience unusual sensations (nausea, dizziness, eye
irritation, unusual odor or taste, excessive fatigue, or
difficulty breathing). Failure to follow this warning can
result in serious personal injury or death.

For Ultra-Twin Adapter (P/N 803622)

1. Check to ensure the spider gasket is in place in the

inlet assembly.

DO NOT use unless the spider gasket is in place. An
air-tight seal cannot be achieved without the spider
gasket. Use without the spider gasket can result in the
user suffering serious respirator injury or death.
