Failure to pass a user performance check and complete all necessary repairs before use may
adversely affect respirator performance and result in sickness or death.
DONNING
1. Complete assembly, inspection and user performance check of the PAPR assembly as described in
these User Instructions.
2. Insert the male plug into a fully-charged battery pack and attach the battery pack to the belt using
the belt clip.
3. Turn the battery pack switch to the ON position.
4. Fit the headgear onto your head and pull the visor down until it snaps in the down position. If
necessary, adjust headband as described under Assembly.
5. Pull the Tychem® face seal as far as possible under the chin. If using the elastomeric AS-101-10
or AS-102-10 faceseals, refer to installation and fitting instructions provided with the faceseals.

IMPORTANT:

Air purification is provided only when clean pre and main filter/cartridges are correctly fitted,

the spring clip retaining the motor housing is in place, and air is flowing over the face.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING
Do not enter a contaminated area until properly donning the respirator system. Do not remove the
respirator before leaving the contaminated area. Doing so may result in sickness or death.
Contaminants that are dangerous to your health include those that you may not be able to see or
smell. Leave the contaminated area immediately if any of the following conditions occur. Failure to
do so may result in sickness or death.
– Any part of the system becomes damaged.
– Airflow into the respirator decreases or stops.
– Breathing becomes difficult.
– You feel dizzy or your vision is impaired.
– You taste or smell contaminants.
– Your face, eyes, nose or mouth become(s) irritated.
– You suspect that the concentration of contaminants may have reached levels at which this
respirator system may no longer provide adequate protection.
Do not clean respirator with solvents. Cleaning with solvents may degrade some respirator
components and reduce respirator effectiveness. Inspect all respirator components before each use
to ensure proper operating conditions. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
Never attempt to clean filters by knocking or blowing out accumulated material. This may result in
damage to the filter membrane allowing hazardous particles to enter the breathing zone, resulting
in sickness or death.
WARNING WARNING
Use of this respirator in atmospheres for which it was not NIOSH certified and designed may result
in sickness or death. Do not wear this respirator where:
- Atmospheres contain hazardous vapors or gases other than hydrogen fluoride.
- Atmospheres are oxygen deficient.
- Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
- Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).
- Contaminant concentrations that exceed 25 times the applicable exposure limit (the assigned
protection factor, APF, for this respirator system) or the APF mandated by specific government
standards, whichever is lower.
After successfully completing the inspection, user performance check and donning procedures, enter
the contaminated area, breathing normally. Remove the respirator system in a clean area only.
Note: The PAPR blower unit and battery are not waterproof. They should not be submersed or
subjected to heavy spraying with water or other liquids. If moisture is present, the battery pack must
be placed in a water repellent battery cover 529-01-56R01 or in a waterproof plastic bag prior to use
to avoid corrosion, deterioration, and possible battery failure.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Follow the hygiene practices established by your employer for the specific contaminants to which you
have been exposed.
