!WARNINGS!

1. Do not use this respirator until you
have been trained in the respirators
use, maintenance and limitations by a
qualified individual (appointed by your
employer) who has extensive knowledge
of the T-Link Series Respirator.
®
2. Before using this respirator ensure your
employer has determined that airborne
contaminant concentrations do not
exceed those allowed by applicable
OSHA, EPA or NIOSH regulations and
recommendations for continuous-flow
supplied air respirators. Federal law
requires that the employer measures and
monitors airborne contaminant levels in
the work area.
3. Do not modify or alter this respirator.
Use only parts and components that are
part of the NIOSH approved respirator
assembly. The use of non RPB
voids the NIOSH approval of the entire
respirator assembly.
4. Inspect all components daily for signs
of damage or wear that may reduce the
level of protection originally provided.
5. Do not use this respirator in abrasive
blasting or welding applications.
6. Do not wear this respirator until you have
passed a complete physical exam maybe
including a lung X-ray conducted by
qualified medical personnel.
7. Improper use of this respirator may
cause injury or death. Improper use may
also cause life threatening delayed lung
disease such as silicosis, pneumoconiosis
or asbestosis.
8. This respirator, when properly fitted and
used, significantly reduces but does not
completely eliminate the breathing of

contaminants by the respirator wearer.
Be certain your employer has determined
that the breathing air source provides
at least Grade D breathable air. The
respirator must be supplied with clean
breathable air at all times.
Do not connect the respirator's air supply
hose to nitrogen, toxic gases, inert gases
or other non-breathable non Grade D
air source. Check the air source before
using the respirator. Failure to connect
the supply hose to the proper air source
could result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT use this respirator in poorly
ventilated areas. Only use in confined
spaces if the area is well ventilated
and the contaminant concentrations
are below those recommended for this
respirator. Follow all procedures for
confined space entry, operation and exit
as defined in applicable regulations and
standards including 29 CFR 1910.146.
Tychem QC and SL are not flame-
®
resistant and should not be used around
heat, flame, sparks or in potential
flammable or explosive environments.
DuPont™ Tychem Fabric is rated "Class
®
1: Normal Flammability" when tested as
directed by the Flammable Fabrics Act
-16 CFR Part 1610.
RPB Zytec is a flame-resistant fabric
® ®
and can be used around, heat, sparks and
molten metal applications. RPB
fabric's thermal protective performance,
vertical flammability, predicted flash fire
protection level and thermal shrinkage
resistance far exceed NFPA2112
requirements.
