4.2.1 To remove the forehead rest (3), merely cut it off the main
body (a) using a pair of scissors, as shown in Fig. C1.
N.B. Do not throw away the forehead rest (3). It will be required
later.
N.B. Once the forehead rest (3) has been cut off from the main
body (a), it cannot be reattached.

strap at the top of the headgear (c) in the top slot, as shown in
Fig. C2.

side slots, as shown in Fig. C3.

slots in the main body (a), as shown in Fig. D2. Then tighten

5.4 Connect the swivel fitting (6) to the tube of the CPAP/Bi-level
device, as shown in Fig. D4. Then turn on the flow generator.
5.5 Readjust the lower straps if necessary to eliminate any
leaks, but make sure the mask is not too tight.
N.B. The lower straps only serve to hold the mask in position, so
they must be kept fairly loose.
6 - HOW TO REMOVE THE MASK
Unfasten one of the lower straps on the headgear (c). Take off
the mask off the face and lift the headgear off. It is not necessary
to unfasten the other straps.
