PAPR system as described in this instruction manual has been
approved by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) to the following
standard: NIOSH 42 CFR Part 84 (USA, See Enclosed Approvals).
Special User Instructions
1. Improper respirator use may cause injury or death. Improper use may also cause certain
life-threatening delayed lung diseases. Regulations require the employer provide training to
the user on proper use, maintenance and limitations of A

PAPR system.
2. Each person using these respirators must first read and understand this instruction manual.
3. Before using A

®
A
IR
P
LUS
®
PAPR system, be sure your employer has determined
airborne contaminant concentrations do not exceed those allowed by applicable OSHA,
MSHA, EPA, NIOSH or ACGIH regulations for powered air purifying respirators. Federal law
requires your employer measure and monitor airborne contaminant levels in the work area.
4. Failure to use components and replacement parts approved by NIOSH for use with this
PAPR system voids NIOSH approval of the entire respirator, invalidates all A

P
LUS ®
PAPR system in inadequately ventilated areas, where
oxygen is less than 19.5%, or in confined spaces such as tanks, small rooms, tunnels or
vessels unless the confined space is well-ventilated and contaminant concentrations are
below the recommendations for this system. The procedures for confined space entry,
operation and exit are defined in applicable regulations and standards, including
29 CFR 1910.146.
CAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
A- Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen.
B- Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health.
C- Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory standards.
F- Do not use powered air-purifying respirators if airflow is less than four cfm (115 lpm) for
tight fitting facepieces or six cfm (170 lpm) for hoods and/or helmets.
I- Contains electrical parts that may cause an ignition in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
J- Failure to properly use and maintain this product could result in injury or death.
L- Follow the manufacturer's User's Instructions for changing cartridges and/or filters.
M- All approved respirators shall be selected, fitted, used, and maintained in accordance with
MSHA, OSHA, and other applicable regulations.
N- Never substitute, modify, add, or omit parts. Use only exact replacement parts in the
configuration as specified by the manufacturer.
O- Refer to User's Instructions, and/or maintenance manuals for information on use and
maintenance of these respirators.
P- NIOSH does not evaluate respirators for use as surgical masks.
