GENERAL INFORMATION
Bullard Free-Air®pumps transfer ambient air
from a clean air location, where breathable air
can be assured at all times, to workers wearing
Type C or CE continuous- flow supplied-air
respirator hoods or tight fitting half or full face
masks.
The ambient air is filtered through a medium
efficiency inlet air filter and a Carbofine outlet
filter before entering the respirator’s air
supply hose.
Bullard Free-Air pumps are oil-less and have
rotary carbon vanes. They produce no carbon
monoxide, oil vapors, oil mist or moisture.
They do not require expensive carbon
monoxide monitors, high temperature alarms
or airline filters. No calibration is required.
The pumps will supply air to one, two or three
workers depending on the pump model and
style of respirator(s) being used. The chart
below describes the pump model, the number
of respirators each unit will supply and its
maximum outlet pressure.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING FREE
AIR®PUMP MODELS EDP-10, EDP-16-TE OR EDP-16-HAZ.
FAILURE TO OPERATE ANY OF THESE PUMPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO THE RESPIRATOR WEARER.
1. Locate the pump’s inlet air filter in a clean breathable air location at
all times. THE PUMP DOES NOT REMOVE 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. THESE PUMPS DO NOT
SUPPLY OXYGEN.
2. This pump will only supply the required volume of air [6-15 cfm (170-
425 lpm) for hoods or 4-15 cfm (113-425 lpm) for tight fitting half or
full face masks] to low pressure continuous-flow supplied-air respi-
rators approved by MSHA/NIOSH to operate at less than 15 psig (103
kPa).
Be sure that the pump’s outlet pressure, measured by the pressure
gauge on the pump, is maintained above the minimum pressure
setting required by the respirator manufacturer.
To be assured your respirator can be used with this pump refer to:
a) The Pump Specification Table on page 1 for the maximum outlet
pressure of the pump model you are using.
b) The section in the respirator’s instruction manual for the respira-
tor’s 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 Bullard's Customer Service
Department at 1-800-827-0423 or 1-606-234-6611.
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.

4. When connecting your respirator 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 hose or couplers will void the respirator’s
MSHA/NIOSH Approval and could reduce the air flow to the respira-
tor, resulting in possible death or serious injury to the respirator
wearer.
5. DO NOT modify or alter this pump in any manner. Use only approved
Bullard Free-Air pump components and replacement parts on the
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 this pump or your
respirator, or you are not sure the inlet filter is in a breathable
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).

BREATHING AIR REQUIREMENTS
AIR QUALITY
The Free-Air®pump’s inlet filter must be
located in a clean breathable air location at all
times.
The breathable air drawn into the inlet filter
must meet at least the requirements for Type
1 gaseous air described in the Compressed
Gas Association Commodity Specifications
G-7.1 (Grade D or higher), as specified by
Federal Law 30CFR, Part 11, Subpart J,
11.121(b).
The requirements of Grade D breathable air
include:
* Oxygen...................................19.5 - 23.0 %
* Hydrocarbons (condensed)
in mg/m3of gas...............5 mg/m3maximum
* Carbon Monoxide............10 ppm maximum
* Carbon Dioxide ..........1,000 ppm maximum
* No toxic contaminants at levels which
would make the air unsafe to breathe.
Refer to the C.G.A. Commodity Specification
G-7.1 for complete details. It is available from:
Compressed Gas Association, 500 Fifth Ave.,

ASSEMBLING
THE FREE-AIR®PUMP
1. MODEL EDP10:
a. Open the shipping carton and remove
the top layer of foam from the box.
Remove the pump from the carton.
We recommend storing the shipping
carton and foam in the event the pump
must be shipped in the future.
b. Remove the pressure gauge from its
separate box. Assemble it to the gauge
port located on top of the pump’s outlet
filter body. The gauge should face
outward so that it can be read while
setting the pressure adjustment knob
(see Figure 1).
There is no other assembly required on
the EDP10 pump.
2. MODEL EDP16TE OR EDP16HAZ:
a. Remove the pump from the shipping
carton. We recommend storing the
shipping carton and plywood board in
the event the pump must be shipped
in the future. Figure 1
5
b. Remove the pressure gauge from its
separate box. Assemble it to the gauge
port located on top of the pump’s outlet
filter body. The gauge should face
outward so that it can be read while
setting the pressure adjustment knob
(see Figure 1).
3. ALL PUMPS:
a. Unscrew the pump’s outlet filter jar and
check to be sure the outlet filter
cartridge is seated firmly into the outlet
filter body (see Figure 2).
DO NOT OPERATE THIS PUMP
WITHOUT AN OUTLET FILTER
CARTRIDGE (Cat. No. S17101).
Be sure the outlet filter O-ring is installed
inside the filter body.
b. Screw the filter jar back onto the filter
body. Tighten firmly by hand, making
Figure 2
sure the jar is seated against the O-ring
so that no air can escape.
c. Check to be sure that the inlet filter,
pressure gauge and outlet couplings are
all assembled tightly to the pump so that
no air can escape.

OPERATING THE
FREE-AIR®PUMP
1. Analyze the atmosphere at the location of
the air inlet and the pump itself to be sure
the pump will not be operating in a contam-
inated or an explosive atmosphere.
2. If Using an EDP10 Pump:
Plug the pump into a 115 volt electrical
outlet. The pump’s motor is equipped with
a toggle switch and a 7 foot (2 m) ground-
ed cord with a standard three-prong plug.
You may use up to 100 (30.5 m) feet of 50
amp, 3-wire grounded extension cord to
reach your electrical outlet. We recom-
mend using 14 gauge wire. Avoid excess-
ive lengths of extension cord, especially if
running the pump continuously.
If Using an EDP16TE Pump:
Plug the pump into a 115 volt electrical
outlet. The pump’s motor is equipped with
a toggle switch and a 7 (2 m) foot ground-
ed cord with a standard three-prong plug.
You may use up to 100 (30.5 m) feet of 50
amp, 3-wire grounded extension cord to
reach your electrical outlet. We recom-
mend using 12 gauge wire.
Avoid excessive lengths of extension cord,
especially if running the pump continuously.
The pump’s motor is equipped with manual
reset thermal overload protection for 115
volt operation. The reset button is located
on the side opposite the toggle switch.
The EDP16TE may be rewired for 208/230
volt, 60 Hz operation. If rewired to 208/230
a suitable starter/contactor and thermal
overload protector must be provided by the
user. The conversion work should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
If Using an EDP16HAZ Pump:
The EDP16HAZ must be wired for either
230 or 460 volt, 3-phase, 60 Hz operation.
THE USER MUST SUPPLY AN EXPLO-
SION-PROOF THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR AND A STARTER/CON-
TACTOR SWITCH.
Proper wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
REFER TO THE MOTOR NAME PLATE
OR JUNCTION BOX COVER FOR
PROPER WIRING DIAGRAM.
WARNING : PROPER MOTOR SELECTION AND WIRING (IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODES) IS
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
