• Positive Pressure Method — Place your
palm lightly over exhalation valve cover
and gently exhale.
• P100 with Splash Guard Method -
Support the cartridge from behind using
your fingers and depress the button with
your thumb. Gently inhale so that the
facepiece collapses slightly and hold
breath for ten seconds. The facepiece
will remain collapsed while the breath is
held, unless there is a leak in the seal.
Note: If a leak is detected, adjust the straps
or reposition the facepiece, ensure the push
button is completely depressed, and repeat
test until no leakage is detected.
If any leakage is detected around the facial
seal, readjust head harness straps and
repeat test until there is no leakage. If other
than facial seal leakage is detected, the con-
dition must be investigated and corrected
before another test is made. The respirator
must pass one of the above tightness tests
before the respirator is used.
Do not enter any atmosphere with this
respirator unless you know that:
1. You have read, understood, and fol-
lowed all instructions and warnings
pertaining to the respirator.
2. The respirator and conditions meet
the requirements outlined.
3. The cartridges are the proper type for
the contaminant or contaminants pre-
sent.
4. The amount of oxygen is sufficient to
support life (that is, at least 19.5 per-
cent oxygen by volume at sea level).
Do not use if oxygen concentration
sufficient to support life is question-
able.
