80 Chapter 8
Always perform the Daily Checks as described in Chapter 4 as the
first troubleshooting step. Passing the Daily Checks usually indicates
that the PortaCount Fit Tester is working properly and that the
problem is elsewhere, such as the connection to the respirator and/or
the respirator itself.
