PRODUCT USER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INITIAL USE - BE TRAINED
Do not use this airline filter until you have read this manual, the flow control device and respirator
head-top Instruction Manuals (additional copies available at www.rpbsafety.com) and been trained
in the respirator’s use, maintenance, and limitations by a qualified individual (appointed by your

MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM IS READY FOR USE
Inspect
all components daily for signs of damage or wear and tear that may reduce the level of
protection originally provided. Remove any damaged component or product, as the filter is a
pressure vessel and damage to the vessel could cause fatigue that could result in serious
injury or death. Do not attempt to weld the filter unit.
Make sure that the filter is correctly assembled
in the configuration that suits your application.
Never use the filter without all components in place. Verify that you have all required components
for the Radex
®
airline filter system, such as: pressure relief valve, regulator, drain valve, filter
canister and the lid is tightened securely. Air will be released when pressure in the filter
exceeds 150 psig (10.3 Bar). If the hole is plugged with something other than the pressure
relief valve, excess pressure could cause the vessel to explode, potentially resulting in
serious injury.
Train each Radex
®

storage, and limitations in accordance with the content of this Instruction Manual and the
approved flow control device and respirator head-top Instruction Manuals and standard or
regulatory requirements. Ensure that each intended user reads all of these manuals.
