Donning the facepiece

1. Check the facepiece to ensure that the head strap is securely
fastened, that the nose cup and the exhalation valve cover are
positioned correctly and that all other parts are in good condition.
2. Loosen the facepiece from the standby position.
3. Spread the head strap, place chin in recess (figure C), center the
head strap on the head. Make sure that the head strap rests flush
against the head.
4. Make sure that neither hair nor head strap impair the sealing
frame, and that the sealing frame contacts the face evenly and
adjusts to its contours.
5. First, tighten both neckbands (figure D, step 1), then tighten the
temple straps (figure D, step 2) evenly towards the back of the
head so that the middle of the head strap remains on the middle of
the head (figure E).
6. Only tighten the front strap (figure D, step 3) if required.
7. Breathe normally.
Spent air should leave the exhalation valve easily.
8. Check for leaks:
a. Seal the mask connector with the palm of your hand and bre-
athe in until a vacuum is produced.
b. Briefly hold your breath: the vacuum must be maintained. If it
is not, the head strap must be tightened further.
c. Repeat the leak test twice.
9. Check the exhalation valve: Seal the mask connector and exhale
vigourously.
The exhaled air must escape easily, otherwise replace the
exhalation valve disc (see chapter 4.3.6 on page 210).
10. Connect either canister, powered air-purifying respirator, self-
contained breathing apparatus, or air line breathing apparatus.
WARNING

The facepiece should only be used if perfectly tight, other-
wise there is danger of poisoning!
