bient air.
4.2.6.4 To remove the breathing hose, unscrew the round thread connection anti-clockwise from the yellow union nut.
4.2.6 Breathing Hose Assembly / Replacement
Read the instructions for use enclosed with the head piece carefully.
4.3 Check Before Use
The following tasks should be performed before using the PAPR.
1. Selection of the system components according to the activity and the required protection class.
- Filter, breathing hose, breathing connection and blower unit.
2. Performance of a careful visual inspection of all components and, if necessary, replacement of damaged parts
- Check the breathing hose for cracks and intactness. Also check the seals on the connections.
- Check the gaskets /sealing edge of the filter. Check the condition and intactness of the filter medium.
- Check the intactness of the seal at the filter box at the thread inlet.
- Check the filter sealing surface of the mounting on the blower unit for damage.
- Check the blower unit and the battery to make sure they are intact and not damaged.
Also refer to the enclosed instructions for use of the filters and the breathing connection.
3. Service Date/Maintenance
- Switch on the blower and check the entered date of the last service/maintenance in the system information menu.
4 Checking the Battery Status
- Mount the battery into the blower and turn it on. You can read the battery capacity on the display. It is recommended
to work only with a fully charged battery.
5. Checking the Filter Capacity
- Switch on the blower with the filters to be used and check the filter capacity on the display.
Note: The Head Piece should be connected to ensure that the measurement value is not falsified.
- If the available capacity is insufficient, replace the filters.
6 Checking the air flow and the warning devices
A functional test can be performed prior to use with a test tube from e-breathe. Check that the minimum air flow rate
is still reached and that the warning device is fully functional.
