plastic wrap. If the battery shows any of these conditions, obey the instructions in
Section 11.1 "Discarding Single-Use (Li-SO

Rechargeable (NiMH) Batteries" to discard the battery.
(3) Make sure that the power switch is in the "OFF" position.

(5) Look for the orientation label inside the battery
compartment in the blower assembly.
(6) To install the battery, put the contact end (metal ring)
into the compartment first.

assembly, and turn it clockwise to hand-tighten it.
(1) Push the APR adapter inward until you hear a click
when it engages correctly in the facepiece.
When the APR adapter is installed correctly and the
