FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1Unfold the mask and gently bend the nosepiece to form a modest curve.

STEP 3Cup the mask under your chin with the nosepiece facing upwards.

STEP 4Pull both headbands over your head and rest them on your neck, under your ears.

STEP 5Pull the top headband up over your ears and rest it on the crown of your head.

STEP 6Firmly press down the nosepiece to conform to the shape of your nose. Adjust and secure all edges and then perform a seal check.

PERFORMING A SEAL CHECK

It is necessary to perform a seal check on the mask every time you wear it.

Cup both hands around the mask and inhale and exhale forcefully several times. If you notice any air leakage, adjust the nosepiece and headbands until the leakage is corrected. Pull the headbands back, up, or, if necessary, shorten them by knotting. Once corrected, repeat the seal check again.
