against your neck, not twisted.

facepiece inward. The facepiece should fit comfortably around you nose, mouth and chin.

u. Pull the ends of the cradle headband straps to tighten the cradle around the crown of your head.
v. Pull the ends of the neck strap to tighten the neck strap around your neck.

enough so that no air leaks around the facepiece. The straps should not be pulled so tight that
the respirator digs into your face. Be careful not to over-tighten.
x. If the respirator is so tight, unlock the strap by pulling back on the tab on latch. Then pull to the
desired comfort.
