Negative pressure test: Seal both respiratory fil-
ters with your hands and breathe in until a negative
pressure (suction) is generated. Hold your breath
for a moment. The negative pressure should be
maintained. If not readjust the face piece and adjust
the straps or use a different size of mask. Repeat
test until a successful seal check is met.

Positve pressure test: Seal the exhalation valve of
half mask and exhale. The half mask will inflate
slightly. If the exhaled air leaks out of the mask,
readjust the face piece and adjust the straps or use
a different mask size. Repeat test until a successful
seal check is met.
Warning: Beards in the sealing area of the
mask can cause leaks. Always make sure
the mask forms a tight seal and the filter is
attached prior to entering a hazardous
atmosphere.
