Changing The Protective Elements - Sundstrom Half-Mask Manual De Instrucciones

An exhausted chemical cartridge will allow hazardous fumes or vapors to pass through to
the user who may not notice any change in breathing resistance. Follow local procedures
and all warnings contained in the users manual.
Filters – Filters clean the air of particles by capturing the solid particles and allowing breathable air to
enter the respirator. As the filter loads up with these particulates inhalation becomes uncomfortable.
When you detect increased inhalation resistance, leave the contaminated area and change the pre-filter,
or if necessary, the protective filter.
Pre-filter – This inexpensive nuisance pre-filter is used with a cartridge or P100 filter. When breathing
resistance increases change the pre-filter first. If the resistance does not drop change the protective element.
