PRE-INSPECTION
Inspect your respirator before and after each wearing. Do not wear, and return
to your supervisor if:
1. Head harness is torn, cut, or damaged in any way.
2. Buckles or flanged tabs are missing, damaged or broken.
3. Facepiece is cracked, torn, distorted, dirty, or has holes.
4. Inhalation/Exhalation diaphragms and/or gaskets are missing, torn, damaged, or
not properly seated.
5. Cartridges are at the end of their service life, cracked, damaged, or not
properly seated.
6. Any other plastic or rubber part is cracked, distorted, or damaged.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Users must follow instructions each time respirator is worn.
2. OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.134 (f) requires that the user be fit tested.
3. Do not wear with any facial hair, such as beards, or any other facial features
which may prevent a proper fit.
4. If you cannot obtain a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated area and see your
supervisor.
DONNING – PUTTING ON
1. Grab lower lengths of head harness with each hand, just above each adjustment
buckle, and while positioning chin in flange, pull harness over the head. (Fig. 2)
2. Push facepiece onto face and chin with one hand and position for most comfort-
able and secure seal while pulling and tightening neck tab of harness with other
hand. Repeat for other neck tab. For easiest, most secure and best fit always
adjust neck harness tabs first before tightening top harness tabs. (Fig. 3)
3. All four harness tabs must be adjusted so that the pressure of the face seal on
the face is distributed evenly. Head harness must lay flat on head. Adjust both
lower and top harness tabs evenly for most comfortable and leak-tight fit of
the face flange.
DOFFING – TAKING OFF
To take off, first pull lower/neck harness tabs away from face to loosen harness
straps, then pull chin area away and upwards from face. (Fig. 4)
FIT TESTS
A qualitative fit test for up to 10x PEL, or quantitative, for up to 50x PEL must be
performed before a respirator is assigned. Refer to current OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134
(f). Qualitative fit testing can be performed using the Moldex BITREX ® fit test kit
with appropriate cartridges or filters. Quantitative fit testing can be performed with
probed cartridge kit. Call +1 (800) 421-0668 or +1 (310) 837-6500, ext. 512/550

PRE-INSPECCIÓN
Inspeccione su respirador antes y después de usarlo. No lo use para después
devolverlo a su supervisor si:
1. El arnés de cabeza está rasgado, cortado o dañado en alguna manera.
2. Faltan las hebillas o las lengüetas bridadas para cabeza, o si están dañadas o
rotas.
3. La máscara facial está rajada, desgarrada, deformada, sucia, o si tiene agujeros.
4. Faltan los diafragmas de inhalación/exhalación y/o las juntas, o si están desgar-
rados, dañados o no asentados correctamente.
5. Los cartuchos están al final de su vida de servicio, o si están rajados, dañados o
no asentados correctamente.
6. Cualquier otra parte plástica o de caucho está rajada, deformada o dañada.
INSTRUCCIONES DE AJUSTE
1. Los usuarios deben seguir las instrucciones cada vez que usen un respirador.
2. La regulación OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 (f) requiere que se pruebe el ajuste al
usuario.
3. No lo use con ningún vello facial, como barba, que puede evitar un ajuste
correcto.
4. Si no puede obtener un ajuste correcto, no ingrese al área contaminada y
consulte a su supervisor.
COLOCACIÓN
1. Tome las longitudes inferiores del arnés de cabeza con cada mano, justo encima
de cada hebilla de ajuste, y mientras coloca la quijada en la brida, tire del arnés
sobre la cabeza. (Fig. 2)
2. Empuje la máscara facial en la cara y quijada con una mano y colóquela para su
mayor comodidad y sello seguro mientras tira y aprieta la lengüeta del cuello del
arnés con la otra mano. Repita para la otra lengüeta de cuello. Para un ajuste
más sencillo, seguro y mejor, siempre ajuste las lengüetas del arnés del cuello
antes de apretar las lengüetas superiores del arnés. (Fig. 3)
3. Las cuatro lengüetas del arnés deben estar ajustadas de modo que la presión en
el sello de la cara se distribuya uniformemente. El arnés de cabeza debe descan-
sar horizontal en la cabeza. Ajuste las lengüetas inferiores y superiores del arnés
uniformemente para su mayor comodidad y ajuste hermético a prueba de fugas
de la brida de la cara.
QUITÁNDOSE EL RESPIRADOR
Para quitarse el respirador, primero tire las lengüetas inferiores/del cuello del arnés
alejándolas de la cara para aflojar las correas del arnés y después tire del área de la
quijada y hacia arriba de la cara. (Fig. 4)
PRUEBAS DE AJUSTE
Debe realizarse una prueba de ajuste cualitativo para hasta 10X PEL, o una prue-
ba de ajuste cuantitativo, por hasta 50X PEL, antes de asignar un respirador.
Consulte la norma OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 (f). La prueba de ajuste cualitativo puede
realizarse usando el equipo de prueba de ajuste Moldex BITREX* con los cartuchos
o fil¬tros apropiados. La prueba de ajuste cuantitativo puede realizarse con el juego
del cartucho probado. Llame al +1 (800) 421 -0668 o al +1 (310) 837-6500, ext.

MANTENIMIENTO
VIDA ÚTIL DE LA MÁSCARA FACIAL
La vida útil de la máscara facial será afectada por las condiciones de uso y los
con¬taminantes a los que está expuesta. Esto incluye la concentración de los con-
taminantes (por ejemplo, las acetonas y los solventes aromáticos aumentarán la
velocidad de deterioro), duración de la exposición, temperatura ambiente, etc.No use
solventes para limpiar la máscara facial, ya que éstos productos reducen la vida del
respirador y son un riesgo para la salud del usuario. Si el material muestra algún
signo de rajaduras, arrugas o envejecimiento, deseche la máscara facial de inmedia-
to. No la exponga a altas temperaturas ambiente (por encima de 160° F/71º C) ya que
la máscara facial se deformará y podrá afectar su ajuste.
