Attaching the Respiratory Filters
NOTICE
The following description is valid for non-capped filters, filters, cartridges,
or combined filters. For information on other X-plore respiratory filters
please refer to the respective Instructions for Use.
Position the two respiratory filters (1) – The line markings must line up! –
and insert them until they lock into place (2) by rotating them downwards
until a stop is felt (line marking of the respiratory filters above the end of
the arrow).
The respiratory filters are removed by carrying out this sequence in
reverse.
The two-point bayonet connector must be securely attached on both
sides!
The respiratory filters must be straight when locked in position.
Donning the Full-Face Mask
The sealing line between head and full face mask must be free of hair and
foreign substances as those may cause leakages. Spectacle wearers
should wear mask spectacles.
Install mask spectacles if necessary
Open the straps as far as they will go.
NOTICE
In case of extremely low temperatures, the wearer should hold his breath
while donning the mask. This prevents the full face mask from fogging.
Remove the full face mask from retrieval position.
Lay chin in the chinwell.
Pull the head strap kit over the
head and draw backwards.
Adjust the full face mask.
Stretch evenly tight; first the neck
straps, then the temple straps,
finally the front strap.
1) Observe the corresponding assembly instructions.
2) Observe the corresponding Instructions for Use.

NIOSH Instructions for Use
Fit Check
If you use particle filter pads, always use the positive pressure test to
check if the mask fits tightly since the pad retainer does not seal the cart-
ridge and the pad base.
Negative pressure test
Seal off both respiratory filters
with your hands or an auxiliary
means (e.g. a plane cardboard)
and inhale until negative pres-
sure is produced in the mask.
Hold your breath for a short time.
The negative pressure is to
remain. If not, tighten the head-
straps again.
Positive pressure test
Seal off the exhalation valve of
the full-face mask and exhale.
The full-face mask must not lift off
the face. If air escapes via the
face seal, tighten the headstraps
again.
2
Always make sure the full-face mask is airtight and that two respiratory fil-
ters of the same type are fitted prior to entering a hazardous atmosphere.
If the performance of the full-face mask is impaired due to operation
effects, immediately leave the danger zone.
Duration of use
The operating period depends on various factors, including the type and
concentration of pollutant, type of respiratory filters and environmental
conditions such as temperature and relative humidity.
Extreme Operating Conditions
In case of low temperatures: Treat the inside of the lens with anti-misting
gel "Klar pilot" to prevent it from fogging up. Hardening of the exhalation
valve disc is possible. Take particular care to check for leaks.
In case of high temperatures: If the lens is damaged, leave the danger
area immediately.
In explosion-hazard: Treat the full-face mask with antistatic spray or work
with a screen of water mist.
Risk of death or serious injury!
If the function of the mask is reduced by effects specific to the
contaminated area, leave the contaminated area immediately.
After Use
Remove the respiratory filters and properly dispose in accordance with
local regulations.
Remove the full-face mask:
Insert index finger behind the
tabs on the neck straps and
press the clamping buckles
forward with the thumbs, pulling
the full-face mask off your face
and back over your head.
