Cleaning the Force™8 Half-Mask with PressToCheck™ Filters


✔ Use It ✔ Clean It ✔ Use it Again!

1. Disassemble

First remove the filters attached to the Force™8 Half-Mask. If these are blocked, then discard and use a fresh pair following cleaning. The next step is to remove the exhalation cover allowing you to remove the mask's harness and diaphragm.

2. Clean
