5 Adjust the lower straps by pulling firmly
(Fig. C-4) so that the rear straps fit
securely around the base of the head
(Fig. C-4a).
Note:
Ensure that the nostrils are not
blocked by the cushion.
6 Connect one end of the main air tubing
to your flow generator and the other
end to the swivel.
Note:
The swivel, short air tubing and
mask elbow are supplied assembled.
7 Turn your flow generator on.
8 Connect the mask elbow to the mask
frame. To do this, hold the sides of the
mask elbow (Fig. C-5) and firmly push
the elbow onto the mask frame until it
clicks into place.
Check that you have connected the
mask elbow correctly by rotating it. Be
careful not to squeeze the sides of the
elbow. If the mask elbow is fitted
correctly, it should rotate freely and not
separate from the mask frame.
9 Adjust the angle of the mask by selecting
the setting that provides a comfortable
fit with minimum or no leak.
To test each setting, hold down the
Angle Selector Tab (Fig. C-6) and move
the headgear clip up or down
(Fig. C-6a) as required. You may need
to raise the headgear clip when moving
it from one setting to the next.
The mask can be tilted at five different
positions. If you feel excessive pressure
on the middle of the nose, tilt the mask
down. Alternatively, if you feel excessive
pressure on your upper lip, tilt the mask
up.
10 If you feel air leaks around the cushion,
reposition the mask on your face to
achieve a better seal.
Take time to adjust all straps and the
position of the mask so that you can
achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
Notes:
If you are unable to resolve any leaks you
•
may need to try another cushion size.
Excess headgear length may be trimmed
•
to a suitable length if required. Leave at
least 30 mm free length on the straps.
