See Quantitative and Qualitative Fit Testing section of these User Instructions. • This respirator must be inspected before each use to ensure it is in proper operating condition. See Inspection Procedure section. • Before you enter a contaminated atmosphere wearing this respirator, you must inspect the respirator, don the respirator according to the instructions provided with the components of the system you are using and complete a User Seal Check. Failure to do so may affect respirator performance and may result in sickness or death. • Before removing the respirator, you must leave the contaminated area and be completely decontaminated by following applicable decontamination protocols. Alternatively, have an individual, who has not been contaminated, assist you with doffing. • Before storing the respirator, be sure that the respirator has been decontaminated per applicable decontamination protocols. If necessary, dispose of the equipment per applicable waste regulations. • Do not connect or use the drinking system in contaminated atmospheres. 2 CAUTION • Cleaning with solvents may degrade some respirator components and reduce respirator effectiveness. See Maintenance and Cleaning section. • Inspect all respirator components before each use to ensure proper operating conditions. • The used cartridge must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable waste regulations. • Avoid overstretching the holes in the universal second skin. To prevent tearing the exhalation valve cover opening of the universal second skin, be careful pulling it over the flanges of the exhalation valve housing. • DS2 is a common agent used in the decontamination of equipment exposed to military chemical warfare agents. DS2 may damage the front and side voicemitters of the mask assembly. When exposed to DS2, rinse voicemitters with clean water.
