facepiece should slightly collapse. If air leakage is detected, re-
adjust the position of the facepiece and the tension of both head
straps and repeat the seal check until leakage is eliminated.
Positive pressure seal check
Cover the exhale valve vent and exhale gently to create a slight
positive pressure. If air leakage is detected, re-adjust the position
of the facepiece and the tension of both head straps and repeat
the seal check until leakage is eliminated.
WARNING
