Assembly
• Each person using this respirator must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Use of these respirators by
untrained or unqualified persons, or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions, may adversely affect respirator performance
and result in sickness or death.
• These hoods do not provide eye and face protection. When exposed to eye and face hazards, the respirator wearer must wear eye and/or face
protectors appropriate to the hazard. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
• Use of this respirator in atmospheres for which it was not NIOSH certified or designed may result in sickness or death. Do not wear this
respirator to enter areas where:
• Atmospheres are oxygen deficient.
• Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
• Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).
• Contaminant concentrations exceed 1000 times the applicable exposure limit (the assigned protection factor for this respirator system) or
the APF mandated by specific government standards, whichever is lower.
• Contaminants that are dangerous to your health include those that you may not be able to see or smell. Leave the contaminated area
immediately if any of the following conditions occur. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
• Any part of the system becomes damaged.

repairs have been made and the respirator passes the performance check. Failure to do so may adversely affect respirator performance
and result in sickness or death.
