UPPER STRAPS
8. Retighten the neck straps if required. Note, on subsequent use by the same wearer, release and
retightening of the temple straps may not be required.
9. With facepiece sealed to face, check face to facepiece seal and placing your hand over the
regulator port on the front of the facepiece, then inhaling and listening for air leaks, and exhaling
and listening for air leaks.
If leakage of air is detected during either of the above procedures, remove the facepiece and
repeat donning steps 1 through 8 above. If a user seal check is unsatisfactory either per the user
instructions above or the OSHA fit testing process, the use of Mask Seal Kit P/N 805655-01 is
required. The Mask Seal Kit is provided with the full facepiece. Refer to the INSTALLATION AND
USE INSTRUCTIONS, SCOTT P/N 89462-01, included with the Mask Seal Kit. This is a NIOSH
approved kit to enhance the fit of the facepiece. If leakage persists, do not use the respirator.
10.Put on, or replace, helmet or other required protective head gear and put on or properly position
and close any required protective clothing such as turn out gear. The user of the respirator must
make certain that any protective head gear, helmet or protective clothing does not interfere with
the use of the respirator and that the head can move freely without dislodging the facepiece or
disturbing the face to facepiece seal.
When donning the facepiece the user should only pull hard enough to secure the facepiece to the
head and achieve a good face to facepiece seal.
3000 facepiece requires less tension on the head harness straps than some of the other SCOTT
Facepiece Models. This may lead some users to over tighten the straps on the AV-3000 facepiece.
you have any questions regarding donning a facepiece to achieve a good facepiece seal, contact the
administrator of your organized respiratory protection program.
