Fitting
The fitting illustrations in this guide show the sequence for obtaining the
best fit and comfort when using your mask.
Fitting steps
1. Remove the elbow from the mask by pressing the side buttons and
pulling the elbow away.
2. With both lower headgear straps released, hold the mask against your
face and pull the headgear over your head. Ensure that the label on
the back of the headgear faces outwards when the headgear is put
on.
3. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps. Pull the straps
evenly until the mask is stable and positioned as shown in the
illustrations. Reattach the fastening tabs.
4. Bring the lower straps below your ears and loop the headgear into the
lower hooks on the frame.
5. Undo the fastening tabs on the lower headgear straps. Pull the straps
evenly until the mask sits firmly on the chin and reattach the fastening
tabs.
6. Connect the air tubing from your device to the elbow. Attach the
elbow to the mask by pressing the side buttons and pushing the
elbow into the mask. Turn on your device so that it is blowing air.
7. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps. Readjust the
straps evenly only enough that a seal is achieved and reattach the
fastening tabs. Overtightening may cause leaks.
8. Your mask and headgear should be positioned as shown.
