DIRECTIONS
Assembling The E600 Gas Mask
The design of the gas mask allows the use with a single canister or filter on either the right side or the left side of the facepiece. Remove plug (breaking the tamper proof label if being used for the first time) and cap from canister or filter. Place canister or filter onto the preferred canister or filter receptacle. Hand-tighten by turning clockwise to ensure a good seal against the facepiece.
The unused receptacle must be sealed off by a Respirator Plug. Seal the respirator plug onto the facepiece by turning the respirator plug clockwise onto the receptacle until it stops.
