Donning And Using The Respirator - MSA PREMAIRE CADET Instrucciones

3. Test the exhalation
valve, take a deep
breath and hold it.
Block the inlet connec-
tion with the palm of
your hand and exhale.
If the exhalation valve
is stuck, you may feel a
heavy rush of air
around the facepiece.
Note: You may need to exhale sharply to open the valve.
If this does not release the valve, do not use the face-
piece. See PremAire Duo-Twin Instruction Manual for Air
Tightness Test for Duo-Twin facepiece (P/N 818370).

DONNING AND USING THE RESPIRATOR

This device may not seal properly with your face if you
have a beard, gross sideburns, or similar physical
characteristics (see ANSI Z88.2). An improper facial
seal may allow contaminants to leak into the face-
piece, reducing or eliminating respiratory protection.
Do not use this device if such conditions exist. The
face-to-facepiece seal must be tested before each
use. Never remove the facepiece except in a safe,
non-hazardous, non-toxic atmosphere. Failure to fol-
low this warning can result in serious personal injury
or death.
1. Connect the air-supply hose to the inlet to initiate air
flow.
Installing the 1/4 Turn Regulator
DO NOT use a 1/4 Turn Regulator with an Advantage
4000 Respirator. Failure to follow this warning can
result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING
DONNING
1. To connect the quick-
connect regulator to
the facepiece, push the
regulator into the face-
piece adapter.
a. Rotate the regulator
1/4 turn. The regula-
tor can be rotated in
either direction.
b. Listen for the release tab to "click" as the regulator
locks onto the facepiece.
c. Verify proper engagement by rotating the regulator
until it contacts the release tab and stops. The reg-
ulator must only swivel 70 degrees.
d. Double check proper engagement by pulling on the
regulator to ensure that the regulator is securely
attached to the facepiece.
DO NOT use the respirator unless the regulator is con-
nected properly. The regulator must swivel approxi-
mately 70 degrees, but must NOT rotate beyond the
tab stops. DO NOT use the respirator if the regulator
does not swivel approximately 70 degrees or rotates
beyond the tab stops. Return the respirator to an MSA
trained or certified repairperson to correct the condi-
tion. A regulator that is not installed correctly can sep-
arate from the facepiece unexpectedly. Failure to fol-
low this warning can result in serious personal injury
or death.
2. Inhale sharply to start the air flow. The shut-off button
should pop out automatically.
a. Check the bypass again. Turn the red knob counter-
clockwise until it locks in position.
