4.1.4.2.2 Method D
If lung demand valve and air-supply system are already connected to the
facepiece, proceed as follows:
1. Inhale and hold your breath - there should be no audible leak.
2. Recommence breathing - exhaled air should easily flow out of the
exhalation valve.
3. Close the air-supply system, and breathe normally to empty the system.
When the pressure gauge indicates zero (system empty), inhale and hold
your breath for approximately 8 seconds. The facepiece should hold on to
the face indicating a positive seal.
4. Open the air-supply system again.
