3. Don facepiece per procedures outlined in "Donning Respirator" section of instructions.
4. After being properly fit tested, perform a positive and negative pressure user seal check each time the respirator is donned per procedures outlined in
"User Seal Check" section of instructions.
If you cannot achieve a proper fit, DO NOT enter contaminated area. See your supervisor.
To assemble 3M™ Dual Airline Combination Breathing Tubes with 3M™ Cartridges/Filters, the facepiece inhalation valves must be removed.
IMPORTANT: If the facepiece is to be used in air-purifying mode (without using the SA-1600 or SA-2600 breathing tubes), the inhalation valves must
be replaced in the facepiece before use.
Using the 3M™ Combination Dual Airline Breathing Tubes without Cartridges and/or Filters
To use the Combination Dual Airline Breathing Tubes (SA-1600 and SA-2600) without cartridges or filters, attach a 3M™ Bayonet Cap 6880 to each
outer bayonet mount on the dual airline breathing tube. When used as a Type C, continuous flow supplied air full facepiece respirator, the Assigned
Protection Factor is 1000 times the PEL or other occupational exposure limit.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, expose you to contaminants above the OEL, and may result
in sickness or death.
• To help maintain a good seal between the face and the faceseal, the respirator faceseal must be clear of obstructions at all times. Do
not use with beards or facial hair that prevent direct contact between the face and the respirator faceseal. Do not use with corrective
eyeglasses. If corrective eyeglasses are required, a 3M™ Spectacle Kit must be used inside the respirator.
These instructions MUST be followed each time respirator is worn.
Donning Respirator
NOTE: Two key factors in effective donning are placing the nose in the nose cup initially to center the respirator on the face and to tighten
the straps twice following steps 4, 5, 6, first to snug the respirator then repeating steps 4, 5, 6 a second time to secure the facepiece seal.
Care must be taken to not over tighten bottom straps on the first turn.
1. Fully loosen all six headstraps.
2. Hold the front of the facepiece with one hand and the straps/comfort cradle away from the facepiece with the other hand, creating an opening for the
head. Pull the respirator assembly down over the head and face through the opening. Place the nose in the nose cup and chin in the chin cup area
then press the facepiece firmly and evenly against the face (Fig. 13).
3. Pull head harness to back of head (Fig. 13).
NOTE: Repeat the sequence of steps 4-6 twice, once to snug the straps and take up slack and a second time to secure and seal the respirator
facepiece to the face.
4. Tighten the bottom straps one at a time. Be careful to tighten both sides equally (Fig. 14).
5. Tighten the middle straps one at a time. Be careful to tighten both sides equally.
6. Tighten the top straps one at a time. Be careful to tighten both sides equally.
7. Recheck all straps to ensure that they are tight and evenly tensioned so that the head harness is centered on the back of your head. Ensure that the
straps and tabs lay flat against your head.
If possible, have a partner verify that you have donned your respirator properly. Perform a user seal check as described in these User Instructions.
Initial Selection of Small, Medium or Large Facepieces
More than one facepiece size may need to be donned before you determine the best size for your face.
After donning verify the following.
1. Nothing (e.g. hair, jewelry, etc.) comes between the face and the sealing surface of the respirator. Facial hair or sideburns may have to be trimmed.
2. Bottom straps and middle straps do not cut into ears.
3. Eyes are looking between center and top 1/3 of the lens.
4. Respirator does not press so tightly against face that eyes are partly closed.
5. Bottom of the mask assembly does not cut into throat.
