POINT-OF
ATTACHMENT(POA)
The point-of-attachment is the point
at which the air supply hose connects
to the air source. A pressure gauge
attached to the air source is used to
monitor the pressure of air provided
to the respirator wearer.
1. Open hinged window frame by lifting up on window latch.
2. Remove cape from helmet by lifting up on clamp and disen-
gaging cape from helmet groove (Figure 4).
3. Turn helmet upside down. To remove inner shell from hel-
met, hook index finger into loop on back of inner shell. Press
thumb against helmet rim and pull loop toward front of
helmet, then pull up and away from helmet (Figure 5). This
releases inner shell.
4. To change the headband size, unlock the four pins from the
sizing holes. Place the headband on your head. Pull down,
allowing headband to expand until it feels comfortable.
The headband will automatically adjust to your size. Lock
into place by pushing the four pins into the sizing holes
(Figure 6).
5. Remove headband from your head.
NOTE
If using the optional 88VXRT ratchet headband,
refer to the instruction sheet provided with the
88VXRT.
ADJUSTING CROWN STRAPS FOR VERTICAL FIT
To improve suspension comfort, adjust crown straps vertically
by repositioning the crown strap posts in the crown straps.
Vertical adjustment makes the headband ride higher or lower
on the wearer’s head. To adjust, push crown strap post from
slot, move to new slot, and snap in to secure. Move key to
desired vertical position. Repeat for other crown strap post
(Figure 7).

� WARNING
Be certain your employer has determined that the
breathing air source provides clean breathable air.
This respirator must be supplied with clean breathable
air at all times.
Do not connect the respirator’s air supply hose to
nitrogen, oxygen, toxic gases, inert gases or other
unbreathable air sources. Check the air source before
using the respirator. Failure to connect to the proper
air source may result in serious injury or death.
