READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING FREE-AIR
®
PUMP MODELS EDP30 OR EDP50.
FAILURE TO OPERATE THESE PUMPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY TO THE RESPIRATOR WEARER.
1. Place the pump’s inlet filters in a clean breathable air location at all times. The pump WILL NOT remove carbon monoxide, toxic gases or
other contaminants from the incoming air it transfers to the respirator wearer.
See the BREATHING AIR REQUIREMENTS section on page 4 for specific details on breathing air quality.
2. This pump will supply the required volume of air (6-15 cfm for hoods or 4-15 cfm for tight fitting mask) to low pressure supplied air
respirators. The respirators must be approved by MSHA/NIOSH to operate at 30 psig or less if using an EDP30 pump, or 15 psig or less if
using an EDP50 pump.
Be sure the pump’s outlet pressure, measured by the pressure gauge on the air supply hose’s quick-disconnect coupler pod, is maintained
above the minimum pressure setting required by the respirator manufacturer.
To verify your respirator can be used with this pump refer to:
a) The Pump Performance Table on page 3 for the maximum output air pressure (psig) of the pump model you are using.
b) The section in the respirator’s instruction manual for the MSHA/NIOSH approved pressure range and permissible air supply hose
lengths.
If you have any questions about whether or not your respirator is compatible with this pump, contact the respirator manufacturer or
Bullard’s Customer Service Department at 877-BULLARD or 1-859-234-6616.
3. Supplied air respirators used with this pump MUST NOT be worn in any atmosphere immediately dangerous to life or health or from which
the wearer cannot escape without the use of the respirator.
Supplied air respirators used with this pump MUST NOT be worn in oxygen deficient or unknown atmospheres.
4. When connecting respirators to the Free-Air pump, use only the air supply hose and couplers required by the respirator manufacturer and
approved by MSHA/NIOSH.
Use of non approved hoses or couplers will VOID the respirator’s MSHA/NIOSH approval and could reduce the air flow to the respirator,
resulting in possible death or serious injury to the respirator wearer.
5. DO NOT modify or alter the pump in any manner. Use only approved Bullard Free-Air pump components and replacement parts on this
pump.
Failure to use approved Bullard components and replacement parts invalidates all Bullard warranties, and may result in death or serious
injury to the respirator wearer.
6. If you have any questions concerning the use of the pump or your respirator, or you are not sure the inlet filters are in a breathable air
location, ask your supervisor.
All instructions for the use and care of this product must be supplied to you by your employer as recommended by the manufacturer and
as required by Federal Law (29 CFR 1910.134).
