FOREWORD
Failure to follow all instructions on the use of this product and/or failure to wear the respirator
system during all times of exposure may adversely affect the wearer's health, may lead to severe

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 100 Series headtops combine face (not impact), hair, shoulder (HT-111, HT-115, HT-120, HT-121,
HT-125) and respiratory protection and are designed to be used with an approved air filter unit (AFU)
or regulator (see Reference leaflet) to form a respiratory protection device.
The air will be fed via a breathing tube from a belt mounted AFU or regulator to the back of the
headtop. The air flows over the top of the wearer's head and down in front of the face. The visor and
face seal prevent the ingress of contaminated air.
