Maintenance of Unit and Head Pieces:
The Blower unit, filter housing and head units must all be regularly cleaned to keep them in good work-
ing order.
For single users, the units can all be cleaned with a cloth moistened with luke warm water and soap.
For multiple users, the units should be disinfected when passed from one user to another. ESAB recom-
mends that ‘Incidur’ from Ecolad GmbH & Co. OHG is used for disinfecting.
Liquids must not be allowed to enter the workings of the blower unit or get on to the element of the filter.
Parts should be allowed to air dry. Under no circumstances should any solvents or abrasive cleaning
agents be used. The unit must not be dried using hot air or radiant heat.
The unit should continue to provide protection to the designed specification for 2 to 3 years, when main-
tained in accordance with these instructions. Prior to each use the user should check that the unit is free from
defects, such as cracks, split filters and hoses, cracked visors and helmet components as appropriate.
Storage and Transportation:
When not in use or during transportation the blower and head units should be stored in the container in
which they were provided, or other similar container, such that it is out of direct sunlight, not in contact
with solvents and cannot be damaged by physical contact with hard surfaces/items. Do not store outside
the temperature range of +0°C to +55°C or with humidity above 75%RH.
Removing and replacing the Battery:
To remove the battery, turn the unit over so that the filter is face down. Then depress the plunger at the
base of the battery and unclip it from the unit. (See Picture 17).
To replace the battery, place it into the cavity and slide it right to the back as far as it will go, then depress
the plunger (see Picture 17) and at the same time push the battery downwards snapping it into place.
