Emergency During Use; Service Life - Honeywell RU6500 Serie Manual De Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y Mantenimiento

4) Repeat the User Seal Check(s) until an effective seal has been obtained. If you cannot achieve an effective seal, do not
use this respirator. See your Supervisor for either a replacement respirator or to be refitted to an appropriate size.
5) You are now ready to enter the contaminated area.
If you cannot maintain, or if you lose, an effective seal while wearing the respirator in a contaminated area, you should leave
the area immediately. The facepiece should only be reseated in an uncontaminated area. Failure to do so will result in the
risk of serious injury, illness or death.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 Appendix B requires either a Positive or a Negative User Seal Check following the Manufacturer's
instructions. CSA recommends following the Manufacturer's instructions, and provides guidelines for a Positive and Negative
User Seal Check in Z94.4 Annex A.
Honeywell provides instructions for both seal checks since many Industrial Hygienists prefer the use of both methods, but only
one of either two methods needs to be conducted. If you are conducting both a Positive and a Negative User Seal Check,
conduct the Positive Seal Check first.

EMERGENCY DURING USE

Immediately leave the contaminated area if breathing becomes difficult; if you become dizzy or disoriented; if you smell, taste or
otherwise sense contaminants; or if your respirator becomes damaged.
3.4

SERVICE LIFE

When this respirator is used for protection from gases or vapors with defined occupational exposure limits, you must follow
a change-out schedule to assure the cartridges are changed before the end of their useful life. If the cartridges have an
End-of-Service-Life Indicator (ESLI) the cartridges must be changed according to the instructions that come with the ESLI
cartridge. Particulate filters or combination filter/cartridges must be replaced when breathing becomes difficult or, if a
combination cartridge and filter is used, based on the change out schedule whichever comes first.
