INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to contaminants,
and may result in injury, sickness, or death.
• Do not use with parts or accessories other than those manufactured by 3M as described in these User
Instructions or on the NIOSH approval label for this respirator.
The 'in use' life of these products will vary with frequency and conditions of use. Before and after each use,
inspect for signs of damage or wear.
Carefully:
• Examine the condition of the fabric, head suspension, visor, outer shroud, and as applicable, inner shroud,
collar, or elasticized faceseal. Check that there are no cracks, rips, dents, holes, tears, or other damage.
• Look closely at the stitching. Ensure stitching is intact and there is no unraveling or gaps in the seams. There
should be no tears or holes that could permit contaminated air to enter the hood or headcover.
• If using the S-800 series hood, closely inspect the sealed seams for rips, holes, tears, or other damage.
Ensure side ties are present and undamaged.
• Look for scratches or other visual distortions that could make it difficult to see through the visor.
• Examine the head suspension for cracks or other damage.
• Examine the entire breathing tube. Look for tears, holes, cracks distortions, or any other sign of wear
or damage. Bend the tube to verify that it is flexible. Ensure the gasket located in the QRS (i.e. the end
connection to headgear) is present and not damaged. If using a BT-Series breathing tube, inspect the gasket
located on the bayonet end of the breathing tube (i.e. the end that connects to the air source) for signs of
damage. The breathing tube should fit firmly into the air source connection.
If you discover any signs of wear and/or damage, discard the component and replace it with a new one.
Failure to do so may affect respirator performance and reduce the degree of protection provided, and may
result in sickness and death.
REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, overexpose you to contaminants,
