Perform a positive and/or negative pressure fit check each time the
respirator is worn.
Positive pressure face fit check.
1. Place the palm of the hand over the exhalation valve cover
and exhale gently.
2. If the respirator bulges slightly and no air leakage between the
face and the respirator is detected, a proper fit has been
achieved.
3. If air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face
and/or re-adjust the tension of the strap to eliminate the
leakage.
4. Repeat the above face fit check.
5. If you cannot achieve a proper fit, do not enter the
contaminated area. See your supervisor.
Negative pressure face fit check (3M™ 6035, 6038 / 2000
Series Filters)
1. Push the filter cover down (6035, 6038) or press your thumbs
into the central indentation of the filters (2000 series), inhale
gently and hold your breath for five or ten seconds.
2. If the respirator collapses slightly, a proper fit has been
achieved.
3. If air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face
and/or re-adjust the tension of the straps to eliminate the
leakage.
4. Repeat the above face fit check.
5. If you cannot achieve a proper fit, do not enter the
contaminated area. See your supervisor.

PART
Before assigning any respirator to be worn in a contaminated area,
we recommend that a qualitative or quantitative fit test be
performed before entering the workplace.
Fitting instructions must be followed each time the respirator is
worn.
1. Fully loosen all four head straps, and then place the harness at
back of head and position respirator over the face.
2. Pull the ends of the four straps to adjust tightness, starting with
the neck straps first, then the forehead straps.
G Do not over tighten the head straps.
