Respirator Assembly Selection and Approvals Before using these

products, the user must read the specific use for, use limitations and

warning information in the User Instructions and product packaging.

Cleaning and Storage Instructions

Clean facepiece after each use (excluding filters and cartridges), with

3M™ 504 Respirator Wipes (or equivalent).

Air dry in a non-contaminated atmosphere.

Respirator components should be inspected prior to each use. A

respirator with any damaged or deteriorated components should be

discarded.

The cleaned respirator should be stored in the bag, away from

contaminated areas when not in use.

Service Life of Respirator Assemblies

3M™ 5000 Series Respirators should be used before the expiration date

on respirator packaging. The useful service life of these respirators will

depend upon the activity of the wearer (breathing rate), specific type,

volatility and concentration of contaminants and environmental conditions

such as humidity, pressure, and temperature. Respirators

must be replaced in accordance with an established change schedule, or

replace earlier if smell, taste or irritation from the contaminant is

detected.

Caution

Failure to properly dispose of spent respirators contaminated by

hazardous materials can result in environmental harm. Handling,

transportation and disposal of spent cartridges, filters, or respirators

must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and

regulations.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Must be followed each time respirator is worn. Filter Assembly

Instructions

Place the 3M™ 5P71 (07194) Filter into the 3M™ 501 (07054) Filter

Retainer so the printed side of the filter faces the cartridge. Diagram 1.

Press the 501 (07054) filter retainer onto the cartridge. It should lock

securely to the cartridge. The 5P71 (07194) filter must completely cover

the face of the cartridge. Diagram 2.

To replace the 5P71 (07194) filter, remove the 501 (07054) filter

retainer by lifting on the tab as shown. Diagram 3.

NOTE: Use of the 501 (07054) filter retainer may aid respirator wearer in

conducting a negative pressure user seal check.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Must be followed each time respirator is worn.

Donning Respirator

Place the respirator over the mouth and nose, then pull the head

harness over the crown of the head. Diagram 4.

Take the bottom straps in both hands, place them in back of the

neck, and hook them together. Diagram 5.

Position the facepiece low on the bridge of your nose for optimal

visibility and the best possible fit. Diagram 6.

Adjust top straps first, then the lower neck straps by pulling on the

ends. DO NOT pull too tight!

(Strap tension may be decreased by pushing out on back side of

buckles).

Perform a positive pressure and/or negative pressure user seal

check. The positive pressure method is recommended. (See

instructions below)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE PRESSURE

USER SEAL CHECKS

•

Do not use with beards or other facial hair or other conditions

that prevent direct contact between the face and the faceseal

of the respirator.

Positive Pressure User Seal Check

Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve cover and exhale

gently, see Diagram 7. If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks

are detected between your face and the faceseal, a proper fit has been

obtained. If faceseal air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator

on your face and/or readjust the tension of the elastic straps to

eliminate the leakage. Repeat the above steps. If you cannot achieve

a proper fit, do not enter the contaminated area. See your

supervisor. Negative Pressure User Seal Check

Place the palms of the hands to cover the face of the cartridge or open

area of the 501 filter retainer, when the retainer is attached to the

cartridge, to restrict airflow, see Diagram 8. Inhale gently. If you feel

the facepiece collapse slightly and pull closer to your face with no

leaks between the face

and the faceseal, a proper fit has been obtained. If faceseal air

leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on the face and/or

readjust the tension of the elastic straps to eliminate the air

leakage.

Repeat the above steps. If you cannot achieve a proper fit, do not

enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.

Note: Before assigning any respirator to be worn in a

contaminated area, a qualitative or quantitative fit test must be

performed per OSHA Standard 1910.134 or CSA Standard Z94.4.

FIT TESTING

The effectiveness of a respirator will be reduced if it is not fitted

properly. Therefore, either quantitative or qualitative fit testing must

be conducted prior to the respirator being issued. Note: Fit testing is

a U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and

Canadian CSA requirement.

QUANTITATIVE FIT TESTING

Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) can be conducted using a 3M™

6000 Series Quantitative Fit Test Respirator Assembly.

QUALITATIVE FIT TESTING

Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) with the 3M™ FT-10 or FT-30

Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus can be conducted using the 3M™

5000 Series Respirator Assembly equipped with 3M™ 5P71

Particulate filters and 3M™ 501 Retainers.

Respirators should be fit tested while wearing the personal protective

equipment (PPE) the wearer may use in their work environment that

may affect the fit of the respirator (e.g. hoods, hardhats, safety

glasses, hearing protections, etc.).
