STEP 3: PUTTING THE RESPIRATOR ON
To fit the Respirator, follow the procedure below:
Check that the Respirator is in Standby Mode with the battery indicator lights on and the motor not
•
running.
Ensure one side of the mask is unclipped and place the Power Unit at the back of your neck.
•
Place the mask on your face, by putting your chin into the bottom of the mask and positioning the mask
•
over your nose and mouth.
Clip the loose mask arm to the Power Unit at the bellow to secure the Respirator around your neck.
•
Adjust and tighten the mask by placing one hand on the mask, the other hand on the back of the Power
Unit and gently push together. You should hear several clicks as the adjustment clips tighten. The mask
should form a close seal on your face but should not feel tight.
Breathe normally. The CleanSpace2

switching from Standby Mode to On Mode. Note: The air flow (On Mode) is triggered when you breathe.
The airflow starts on the second (2nd) breath. In On Mode, when the airflow has started, you should hear
the motor and fan, and feel air on your face.
If a harness is fitted, check the position of the harness on your head and ensure it is comfortable, supporting the
respirator adequately and not interfering with the mask seal. If the harness needs adjusting for comfort, adjust the
length of the front and/or rear straps.
Adjusting the Respirator
The Respirator should be tightened to achieve a close seal and a comfortable and a secure fit on your face.
There are three ways to adjust the Respirator for fit:
1. Adjust the length of the bellows on the Power Unit. To tighten, push the mask and Respirator toward each other.
You should hear a "click, click" as the adjustments tighten. To loosen the arms, push the adjustment buttons on both
sides and pull the mask out from the Power Unit.
2. Use the different sized neck pads (thin and thick). For example, to create a tighter fit use the thick neck pad; for a
looser fit, use the thin neck pad.
3. Use a different sized mask (small, medium and large). The CleanSpace2
medium or large silicone mask. The correct mask should be selected and fitted before use.

adaptor, by consulting a respiratory safety specialist.
When the CleanSpace2
mask is fitted correctly, your exhaled air should flow out through the mask exhalation valve. If air is escaping out
around the mask seal, (e.g. into your eyes), adjust the mask appropriately until this is eliminated or minimised. If you
are unable to get an acceptable seal you may need a different size of mask or seek further assistance with a
respiratory safety specialist who can help you fit the Respirator.
The Respirator should not be worn in the contaminated area if the wearer cannot achieve a proper fit.
Removing the Respirator
To remove the Respirator, find the release clip on one side of the bellows and press to release the mask from the
Power Unit which will allow you to remove the Respirator. Note: The Respirator motor will automatically switch off
and go into Standby Mode in approximately 5-10 seconds when no breath is detected. In Standby Mode, if after
three (3) minutes no breath is detected, the Respirator will automatically go into Off Mode. In Off Mode, all the
battery indicator lights will be off and the motor is will not be triggered by the wearer's breathing.
