3M Versaflo TR-602E, User Instructions

Page: 94 / 97

^
The filter loading indicator is for particulates only. It does not provide any information about
gas and vapour service life. Leave the contaminated area immediately if taste or smell
contaminants.
Use in the 'power-off' state is not normal, little or no protection is provided and a build up
of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen within the Headtop may occur, vacate the
contaminated area immediately.
Take care to prevent the breathing tube from becoming looped around protruding objects. If
during use, the airflow into the Headtop stops and the alarm sounds, vacate the contaminated
area immediately and investigate the cause (please see fault finding).
NOTE: The ‘in-use’ life of the product will vary with frequency and conditions of use. In everyday
use, the expected 'in-use' life is 3-5 years. Some extreme conditions may result in deterioration
over a shorter period. The product must be stored and maintained as stated below.
Note: Do not expose battery pack to temperatures above 54°C. The Powered Air Turbo battery
alarm will activate if battery pack temperature reaches 54°C while the Powered Air Turbo is in
use. The Powered Air Turbo will shut down if the battery pack temperature exceeds 60°C.
^
Do not use the batteries outside of the recommended temperature limits.
DOFFING
Do not remove the headtop or turn off the air supply until you have vacated the
contaminated area.
1. Lift the Headtop off the head.
2. Switch off the Powered Air Turbo by pressing the power button for 2 seconds.
3. Unbuckle the waist belt. If required, remove the belt from the Powered Air Turbo by lifting the
lower, centre portion of the belt over the locking edges and sliding the belt down (see Fig 16).
4. Remove the filter. Press the filter latch and pull the filter away from the Powered Air Turbo
(see Fig 17).
Note: When removing the filter, hold the Powered Air Turbo facing downwards (cover towards
the ground) to help minimise the potential for contamination of the motor/fan.
To remove the cover from the filter, hold the filter upside down and pull out on the blue tab at the
bottom of the filter cover to unlatch it from the filter (see Fig 18). Pull the cover down and away
from the filter.
Note: Filters may be stored attached to the Powered Air Turbo however, to help maintain
service life and keep the system clean, the Powered Air Turbo should be stored in a sealed
container. The system must also be fully inspected prior to next use. Alternatively, the filter may
be stored in its original packaging.
If the respirator has been used in an area that has caused it to become contaminated
with a substance requiring special decontamination procedures it should be placed in a
suitable container and sealed until it can be decontaminated or discarded.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Use a clean cloth dampened with a mild solution of water and liquid household soap. Do not use
petrol, chlorinated degreasing fluids (such as trichloroethylene), organic solvents or abrasive
cleaning agents to clean any part of the equipment. To disinfect use wipes as detailed in
Reference Leaflet.
^
Keep inner filter seal clean.
^
Never attempt to clean filters by knocking or blowing out accumulated material.
The spark arrestor can be cleaned using water and liquid household soap. Completely dry the
spark arrestor with a clean cloth. If it cannot be cleaned or is damaged then it should be
replaced. The Powered Air Turbo can be immersed or put in a respirator washer for cleaning.
Filters must be removed and the air inlet and air outlet cleaning and storage plugs must be
inserted into the Powered Air Turbo first (see Fig 19). Plugs should be inspected for damage and
wear prior to each use. Worn or damaged seals must be replaced. Plugs should be replaced
every 30 uses or annually, whichever comes first. Water temperature should not exceed 50°C.
Note: Powered Air Turbos which have been dropped or damaged should not be immersed or
put in a respirator washer due to potential water ingress. The battery can also be immersed for
cleaning. Remove the battery from the Powered Air Turbo and use a cleaning cover (available
as an accessory) to keep the contacts free from corrosion (See Fig 20).
Note: There are two locking loops on the battery cleaning cover. The smaller loop position is for
use with the standard capacity battery (see Fig 21A), the larger loop position is for use with the
high capacity battery (see Fig 21B).
^
Do not immerse without the battery storage and cleaning cover installed.
^
Do not immerse battery if damaged.
If water is found between the battery and cleaning cover after immersion, discard cleaning cover
and replace. The battery contacts may be cleaned with a mild solution of water and liquid
household soap. Ensure that the contacts are clean and dry before storage and use.
MAINTENANCE
General
Maintenance, servicing and repair must only be carried out by properly trained personnel.
^
Use of unapproved parts or unauthorised modification could result in danger to life
or health and can invalidate any warranty.

Disposal
If disposal of parts is required this should be undertaken in accordance with local health and
safety and environmental regulations.
^
Dispose of lithium ion battery packs according to local environmental regulations. Do not
dispose of in standard waste bins, in a fire or send for incineration.
Battery Charging
Select an approved charger kit and refer to the user instructions provided with the kit.
Batteries should be charged after each use.
^
Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation,
in hazardous locations or near sources of high heat.
^
Do not charge the batteries outside the recommended temperature range of 0-40°C.
The battery may be left on the charger. However, for long term storage of the batteries, 3M
recommends that they are stored off the charger at approximately 30-50% charge. The battery
should never be left in a discharged state. The batteries are designed to provide approximately
250 charge/discharge equivalents, during the first year of service, while maintaining at least 80%
of their original capacity.
