3. Each pump will operate sitting on its four
rubber mounts. It does not need to be
bolted down. If desired, the pump may be
mounted on a wall or ceiling as long as the
shaft center line is horizontal.
4. Make sure the pump’s inlet filter is located
in a clean, uncontaminated location where
breathable air is assured at all times (see
Figure 3).
If the inlet filter cannot be placed in a clean
breathable location, install Bullard’s 50 foot
(15 m) Inlet Extension Hose Kit (Cat. No.
V50IN) to the pump’s inlet port. See the
directions shipped with the Extension Hose
Kit for assembly instructions.
If clean breathable air cannot be guaran-
teed at all times within this 50 foot (15 m)
reach, you may add up to five (5) additional
lengths of 50 foot (15 m) Extension Hose
(Cat. V50EX).
Therefore, you may place your inlet filter up
to 300 feet (91.4 m) (6 x 50) away from the
pump. Do not add more than 300 (91.4 m)
feet of inlet extension hose to the pump.
5. Assemble your respirator by following
the manufacturer’s directions as described
in the respirator’s instruction manual. Be
sure the pump’s outlet pressure, measured
by the pressure gauge on the pump, is
greater than the minimum MSHA/NIOSH
approved pressure required to operate the
respirator.
The respirator’s minimum approved pres-
sure will be found in the respirator’s
instruction manual and/or on labels attached
to the respirator.
If you have any questions as to whether or
not your respirator is compatible with this
pump, call Bullard’s Customer Service
Department at 1-800-827-0423 or
1-606-234-6616.
6. Connect the respirator’s MSHA/NIOSH
approved air supply hose(s) to the quick-
disconnect outlet coupler(s) on the pump
(see Figure 4).
