B. HOW TO DON THE RESPIRATOR WARNING Always read cartridge labels prior to use to be certain that you have cartridges and/or filters that will provide the required protection. Filters labeled for protection against particulates only shall not be used for gases/vapors, and cartridges labeled for protection against gases/vapors only shall not be used for particulates.

Alternatively, the cartridges may be removed to perform the fit check. If removed, SPERIAN recommends someone other than yourself reinstall them after a leak-tight fit is achieved. It is difficult for...
If you wait too long to replace the cartridges, particulates may leak past the face seal instead of being collected on the filter; therefore, SPERIAN recommends that the cartridges be changed at least daily.

Replace the cartridges earlier if you detect the contaminant by smell, taste, or irritation, or if either cartridge shows any signs of damage. SPERIAN recommends cartridges be replaced daily even if the end-of- service-life indicator has not changed color, or the change-out schedule is de- termined to be greater than 1 day.

In addition, when an R-series filter is used in an oil-containing atmosphere, the filter must be replaced after each 8-hour work shift. SPERIAN recommends, due to considerations of hygiene, that all filters be replaced at least daily, and more often if necessary.
