INSPECTION Each and every time you put on your respirator and prior to storage, you must inspect all components for wear or damage.

1. Check the facepiece for any tears, holes, or other damage. 2. Check the inhalation and exhalation valves to assure they are not missing or damaged.

3. Pull gently on the head straps to assure they are not worn. Check the head strap buckles for any damage. a. If head strap is used: pull gently the straps to assure they are not worn. Check the head strap buckles for any damage. b. If headnet is used: check for signs of deterioration, unraveling or any other wear. Check the buckles for any damage. 4. Check the lens for any cracks or other damage. 5. Check the cartridge connectors to assure they are seated properly and are not cracked. 6. Check the nozzle for any damage, including heat damage, nicks or cracks. ASSEMBLING THE RESPIRATOR To use this full facepiece as an air-purifying respirator, you need to attach a filter, cartridge or cartridge/filter combination. Follow the directions below for the filter or cartridge type you are using. 1. If you are using a pad style filter only, you will need P/N N750037 (includes two N750027 covers and two N750015 filter holders) in addition to the two filters. a. Place each filter into the filter cover, paying attention to the instructions on the filter “this side towards face” or “this side away from face”. b. Snap the filter cover and filter onto the filter holder. 1 - SPECIAL OR CRITICAL USER’S INSTRUCTIONS Honeywell N-Series gas and vapor cartridges require the use of a filter support (P/N N750038) when a pad style filter is used with the cartridge. Failure to follow this instruction will result in the risk of serious illness, injury or death. 2. If you are using a pair of pad style filters (either 7506N95, 7506R95 or 7506N99) with a gas or vapor cartridge, you will need P/N N750036 (includes two N750027 filter covers and two N750038 filter supports) in addition to the two filters. a. Place the filter support (P/N N750038) on the cartridge so the eight indented notches nestle on the inner raised circle and the part number “N750038” is not backwards. b. Place each filter into the filter cover (P/N N750027), paying attention to the instructions on the filter “this side towards face” or “this side away from face”. Snap the filter assembly onto the cartridge filter “this side towards face” or “this side away from face. Snap the filter assembly onto the cartridge. 3. If you are using flexible filters with a gas or vapor cartridge, you will need two N750035 adapters in addition to the filters. a. Snap the N750035 onto the cartridge. b. Being careful not to cross thread, attach the filter to the adapter. 4. If you are using the Backpack Adapter (P/N BP1002) with any combination of filters or cartridges, attach them to the male threaded end of the adapter. Check that the cartridges or filters are effectively sealed against the gasket on the back plate connector. 5. Attach your filter, filter assembly, cartridge, filter/cartridge or backpack assembly onto the facepiece. a. Make sure the filters or cartridges do not cross thread. b. Turn filters/cartridges until they are seated snugly against the gasket and you notice resistance to further turning. Ensure the cartridges are flush with the facepiece seal and that the cartridge connectors and gaskets are also flush with the inside of the mask. c. Do not overtighten, as this may crack the cartridge connectors. 6. Tug slightly on your filter/cartridge assembly to assure that it is firmly affixed. If you use prescription eyewear, Honeywell offers several styles of spectacle inserts, Refer ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS for a listing. Follow the instructions with your spectacle insert to assemble to the facepiece. 2 - SPECIAL OR CRITICAL USER’S INSTRUCTIONS If the air-purifying cartridges have an ESLI, you must be able to see the indicator without moving the facepiece in any way that could break the facepiece-to-face seal. Do not use cartridges with an ESLI if you are using the Backpack Adapter. Failure to follow this instruction will result in the risk of serious illness, injury or death. If any components are missing or damaged do not use this respirator.
