a
WARNING
WARNINGs point out dangerous steps in the procedures in this manual. Your safety depends on
following the instructions included in all WARNINGs. Several general WARNINGs are included
below:
It is important to properly clean your mask. A dirty mask will compromise its ability to provide
maximum protection.
If you have not used your mask for 30 days or more, perform all PMCS prior to using your mask.
You must check your mask assembly for leaks when fitted and each time mask assembly is put
on. A leaky mask assembly will not protect you from toxic agents.
Perform the steps for putting on your mask quickly. You must put the facepiece assembly on
before you take another breath. DO NOT wear contact lenses. Contact lenses will over correct vision
while wearing optical inserts. DO NOT change canister in a contaminated area.
DO NOT wear contact lenses with your mask assembly.
DO NOT wear contact lenses (soft or hard) while wearing CB protective masks. Inadequate
oxygen supply to the corneal surface, exposure to dust, dirt, and smoke/gas may cause serious vision
loss or eye damage. Warfighters requiring vision correction are provided optical inserts for their
protective masks.
DO NOT use the mask assembly if outlet valve disk or outlet valve cover is missing or damaged.
The mask assembly will leak.

b
WARNING (CONT.)
DO NOT use mask assembly if inlet valve body or inlet valve disk are missing. The mask
assembly will leak.
DO NOT use tissue paper or a paper towel to remove dirt or moisture from outlet valve cover,
outlet valve disk, or outlet valve seat. Paper may break up and lodge in outlet valve area, causing
leakage.
DO NOT connect the drink tube to your canteen until all mating surfaces have been checked
and are free of contamination. Chemical agents could be swallowed, resulting in sickness or death.
Fill your plastic water canteen before entering contaminated area, or, if in a contaminated area,
fill canteen inside a protective shelter.
If resistance is not felt, drinking system is leaking. DO NOT drink. Replace canteen. If resistance
is still not felt, notify CBRN NCO for maintenance.
If resistance is not felt, drinking system is leaking. Notify CBRN NCO to repair or replace mask.
To prevent possible leakage around mask assembly, DO NOT pull on external drink tube when
removing canteen.
Care should be taken not to break the mask assembly seal while pressing in on the outlet valve
cover.
When putting on your helmet, be sure not to break the seal between your mask and the side of
your face. Toxic agents could leak into your mask.
The waterproof bag is to be used for waterborne operations only.

c
In cold weather, DO NOT clear mask by exhaling a large volume of air. Moist air will frost
eyelenses and impair vision.
If you become overheated in extremely cold weather, do not remove your mask outdoors until
your face and head have cooled and any sweat has dried. Frostbite may result if mask is removed
while your face is still wet.
Any solid matter under outlet valve disk will cause leakage.
DO NOT allow dirt or foreign material to remain in carrier. Dirt or foreign material in carrier may
get into valves, causing them to leak.
Make sure the gasket is present in the hose fitting before connecting the canister to the hose. A
missing gasket will affect the seal and will allow the wearer to inhale contaminated air.
Star knob must be tight or movement of the hose may cause it to loosen and leak.

d
WARNING (CONT.)
HEALTH/ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. There are two Mask Canisters, the C2 and the C2A1.
The C2 canister contains Chromium VI, and damaged or unusable canisters are considered
Hazardous Waste. (Chromium VI is a known carcinogen if inhaled or swallowed.)
The C2A1 canister is chromium-free but must continue to be disposed of in accordance with
State and Local Environmental Laws.
DO NOT throw away damaged or unusable canisters as ordinary trash.
DO turn in damaged or unusable canisters to your hazardous waste management office or
Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO).

FIRST AID. For first aid, refer to FM 4-25.11.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The safest, easiest, and best way to use these CB Masks (M40A1/M42A2) is to follow the instructions
in this manual. Knowing what is in this manual and how to use it will save you time and work, and will
help you save your life when fighting in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN)
environment.
ORGANIZATION
The table of contents on page iii provides easy access to the manual. Pages are numbered
consecutively within each chapter; each page number is prefixed with the Work Package (WP)
number. For example, page 2 of WP 0004 is numbered 0004-2.
This manual is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 contains general information, equipment
description, and theory of operation. Chapter 2 provides operating instructions for the M40A1 and the
M42A2 masks, including operation of the mask under usual conditions and unusual conditions.
Chapter 3 provides a malfunction index and troubleshooting procedures. Chapter 4 provides
instructions for operator maintenance procedures, including preventive maintenance checks and
services (PMCS). Chapter 5 contains supporting information, such as the Additional Authorization List
and identifies supplies used in maintaining these masks.
Each section of the manual is further divided into three parts. The first addresses common
procedures that are the same regardless of which mask you are using. The second addresses those
tasks that are peculiar to the M40A1 and the third addresses those peculiar to the M42A2. Therefore,
depending on which mask you are using, you must follow the instructions in the common procedures
and the procedures that are peculiar to your mask.

vi
ORGANIZATION (CONT)
For instance, if you have the M40A1 mask, you must do the Before PMCS checks under COMMON
and those under the M40A1 PECULIAR. Those tasks listed under the M42A2 are not required.
Those tasks which are considered to be COMMON and apply to either mask are illustrated using the
M40A1. However, the differences between the M40A1 and the M42A2 do not impact on the task, and,
in many cases, you will not be able to tell from the illustration which mask is being illustrated.
HOW TO FIND PROCEDURES
If you are using the manual to perform Troubleshooting, go to (WP 0007) and read the instructions
there. If you are going to do operator level scheduled maintenance, you can turn directly to
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), (WP 0008), and proceed according to the
instructions there. The PMCS table provides procedures for checks and services to be performed
before (WP 0008-5 for M40A1/M42A2) (WP 0008-10 for M42A2 only), during (WP 0008-11 for
M40A1/M42A2) (WP 0008-12 for M42A2 only), and after (WP 0008-13 for M40A1/M42A2) (WP 0008-
33 for M42A2 only) using the mask.
If you are performing a task under usual conditions, go to the table of contents and find the first page
of that section. There is a secondary table of contents on the first page of that section. It will tell you
the page in WP 0005 where your task begins. For example, if you wish to don your mask, proceed to
WP 0005-1. On the first page of this work package you will find a table of contents that will tell you on
which page the task begins. Turn to the page and follow the instructions to put on and use your mask
under usual conditions.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA 0002
EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES
COMMON
The lightweight, Chemical Biological (CB) masks (M40A1 / M42A2) are easy to prepare for transport
and storage. The mask assembly is kept dry, when required by climate and mission, by a waterproof
bag and stored in a carrier made of mildew-resistant, water repellent fabric.
The facepiece is made of silicone rubber with an inturned sealing surface so it can provide protection
to face, eyes, and respiratory tract from CB agents, toxins and radioactive particles. The mask
assembly is not intended for use in an oxygen deficient environment. Neither is it intended to provide
protection against carbon monoxide or ammonia. It forms a comfortable seal on a Warfighters face
as it protects against adverse elements. The mask assembly is equipped with both front and side
voicemitters for ease of communication and an outlet valve body with a drinking system. To ensure a
comfortable fit, the mask assembly is issued in three sizes: small, medium and large which are
marked with S, M and L on the forehead. It is also equipped with clear and neutral gray outserts to
protect the eyelens from scratches, reduce sun glare and prevent fogging in cold weather.
The masks have a second skin or universal second skin, which fits to the facepiece and protects the
facepiece from liquid agents, and a quick doff hood (if applicable) made of lightweight, butyl rubber-
coated fabric, which provides protection to the head and neck from liquid toxic chemical agents. The
second skin or universal second skin is issued in two sizes: small and medium/large which are
marked S and M/L on the exterior left cheek.

END OF WORK PACKAGE

THEORY OF OPERATION 0003
M40A1 THEORY OF OPERATION
Air enters the CANISTER (1), which is screwed into the side of the mask. The canister filters out
Chemical Biological (CB) agents, toxins, and radioactive fallout particles from contaminated air. Filtered
air then passes over the AIRFLOW DEFLECTOR (2) which is located inside the facepiece and on the
same side as the canister. The air then moves into the eye area of the facepiece.
From the eye area, filtered air enters the NOSECUP (3) through NOSECUP VALVES (4). Filtered air
from the nosecup is inhaled by the Warfighter. Exhaled air is passed through the nosecup area and
out through the OUTLET VALVE DISK (5). The OUTLET VALVE COVER (6) protects the outlet
valve body from contamination and damage, and enhances protection by surrounding the outlet valve
disk with clean air. Provides a retainer for the external drink tube and QDC.

FACEPIECE ASSEMBLY
FACEPIECE (1). The facepiece fits closely against the face to form a seal.
The following components are molded/assembled into the silicone rubber facepiece: buckle
tabs, eyelens, nosecup, voicemitters, outlet valve body, and canister/hose connectors.
HEAD HARNESS (2). Constructed of elastic webbing sewn to a rectangular head pad and
buckled to the facepiece. The ends of the head harness straps have metal strap end clips to
prevent fraying of the elastic webbing. Ends of the head harness straps pass through buckles at
the two forehead, temple and cheek positions. Elastic webbing connects the two forehead straps
and holds them in proper alignment when the facepiece assembly is worn. Head harness straps
attached to buckles at the ends of the tabs permit adjustment to obtain proper fit of the mask
assembly.

INTRODUCTION TO PMCS TABLE
GENERAL
The Operator Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) table has been provided so you
can keep your equipment in good operating condition. The PMCS table is arranged to provide
procedures for checks and services to be performed before, during, and after operation of the mask.
A thorough initial inspection to include sizing, fitting, fit testing, and after use inspection is critical to
ensure it is providing you with maximum protection. If you have not used your mask for a lengthy
period of time, specific checks are required in addition to the before checks to assure that your mask
is ready to be used. Shortcomings which DO NOT limit the equipment operational capability (form, fit,
or function) are not noted in this TM. These minor discrepancies should be attended to and
maintained to prevent them from becoming deficiencies. The following paragraphs provide
information on how to use the PMCS tables. Report any malfunctions or failures on DA Form 2404, or
refer to DA PAM 738-750.
0008 - 2

INTRODUCTION TO PMCS TABLE (CONT)
INSPECTIONS
The most detailed inspection and PMCS of your mask is accomplished after each time you use it and
when you first receive it. The BEFORE, DURING and AFTER PMCS checks are designed to assure
that the mask is ready for use without causing you to spend a lot of time on your mask before
beginning a mission. Therefore, it is vital, for your safety, that you perform all of the checks in the
interval listed. BEFORE PMCS assure that all the parts of your mask are present and verify the most
important components of the mask are operational. The DURING PMCS procedures check those
items which are most readily checked while operating the mask. The AFTER PMCS procedures
provide a detailed check of the mask to assure that any items which are not performing properly are
repaired prior to any additional use. In the event that you have not used your mask for a lengthy
period of time, perform all BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER PMCS prior to using the mask. This will
allow you to correct any problems which may have occurred during storage.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNINGs and CAUTIONs appear before the applicable procedures. You must observe all
WARNINGs and CAUTIONs to prevent serious injury to yourself or others and to prevent damage to
your equipment.
PMCS PROCEDURES
The following paragraphs describe the information presented in each column of the PMCS table.
0008 - 3

ITEM NUMBER COLUMN
Numbers in this column are for reference. Item numbers also appear in the order that you must do
checks and services for the intervals listed. Record any faults that you discover before, during, or
after operation. You DO NOT need to record faults that you fix.
INTERVAL COLUMN
This column tells you when you must do the procedure in the procedure column. Do your BEFORE
PMCS just before you operate the mask or deploy. Do your DURING PMCS while you are using the
mask. Do your AFTER PMCS right after use or before you store it.
ITEM TO CHECK/SERVICE COLUMN
This column identifies the item to be checked or serviced.
PROCEDURE COLUMN
This column gives the procedure you must do to check or service the item listed in the Item to
Check/Service column. This will tell you if the equipment is ready or available for the intended mission
or for operation. You must do the procedure at the time stated in the interval column.
NOT FULLY MISSION CAPABLE IF: COLUMN
Information in this column only tells you what deficiencies will keep your mask from being capable of
operating safely. DO NOT use your mask if a check and service shows a fault listed in this column.
Shortcomings or minor discrepancies which DO NOT limit operational capability or safety of use may
require corrective actions and Continued surveillance, but does not deadline the mask.
