USER INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions and then store them in a safe place for future
reference.
The respirator must be fitted and used in accordance with these instructions to obtain
the approved level of performance.
CAUTIONS
•For adequate protection this respirator must fit or be adjusted to the size of the
user’s head.
•The respirator is made to absorb the energy of a blow by partial destruction or
damage to the shell and the harness, and even though such damage may not be
readily apparent, any respirator subjected to severe impact should be replaced.
•The attention of users is also drawn to the danger of modifying or removing any
of the original component parts of the respirator, other than as recommended
by the respirator manufacturer.
•Respirators should not be adapted for the purpose of fitting attachments in any
way not recommended by the respirator manufacturer.
•Do not apply paint, solvents, adhesives or self-adhesive labels, except in
accordance with instructions from the respirator manufacturer.
WARNINGS
•REPAIR IS BY REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE PARTS ONLY.
•ONLY APPROVED PureFlo® PARTS SHOULD BE USED.
•ALTERATIONS AND AFTER-MARKET MODIFICATIONS TO HEADWEAR PRODUCTS
MIGHT COMPROMISE THE PROTECTIVE FEATURES OF THE HEADWEAR.
•RESPIRATORS MUST BE STORED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
(INCLUDING DURING BREAK TIMES etc.).
•RESPIRATORS MUST BE REGULARLY CLEANED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
•RESPIRATORS MUST BE DECONTAMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
•THE HEADBAND, CONCUSSION STRAP, FIXINGS AND MOUNTING POINTS FORM
PART OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE RESPIRATOR. ENSURE THAT THE NEW
ASSEMBLY IS FITTED CORRECTLY, OR THE INTEGRITY OF THE RESPIRATOR MAY
BE COMPROMISED.
•PRIOR TO USE A FLOW CHECK MUST BE PERFORMED.

6
PF3000P
•DO NOT HOLD OR SUSPEND THE RESPIRATOR BY THE HEADBAND OR FACE SEAL.
•DO NOT WEAR THE RESPIRATOR IF THE AIR FLOW IS SWITCHED OFF.
•AT VERY HIGH WORK RATES THE PRESSURE IN THE DEVICE MAY BECOME
NEGATIVE AT PEAK INHALATION FLOW.
•LONG HAIR MUST NOT BE TIED TO THE BACK OF THE USERS’ HEAD TO USE THIS
PRODUCT. TIED BACK HAIR MAY PROHIBIT THE NAPE RATCHET FROM WORKING
CORRECTLY AND CAUSING THE RESPIRATOR TO BE INSECURELY FITTED ON THE
USERS’ HEAD.
•MATERIALS, WHICH MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE WEARER’S SKIN
COULD CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTION TO SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS.
•SCRATCHED OR DAMAGED VISOR SHOULD BE REPLACED.
•HIGH SPEED PARTICLE IMPACT ON FACE SHIELD MAY TRANSMIT IMPACT ON
STANDARD OPHTHALMIC SPECTACLES WORN UNDERNEATH.
The PureFlo® 3000 is equipped with a High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter (P3/HEPA)
and is powered by a re-chargeable battery incorporated into the respirator.
The respirator filters the surrounding air providing a flow of clean air into the user’s
breathing zone.
A hood is designed to help to maintain a positive pressure within the respirator,
preventing penetration of the ambient air.
NOTE: To avoid the danger of choking or suffocation please keep the respirator and
associated components away from babies and children.
PureFlo® 3000 contains an adjustable quick release headband ensuring a comfortable
fit for head sizes between 53.5 cm and 63.5 cm.

Special conditions for safe use
1. Only battery Part No PF3000-03-003 should be fitted to the respirators.
2. The battery should only be recharged in a safe area.
3. PureFlo® 3000 respirators are only tested to be used within the limited ambient
temperature range (+5°C to +40°C).
4. The unit should not be worn in the power off state. No respiratory protection is
to be expected and can result in rapid build-up of carbon dioxide and depletion
of oxygen within the hood.
5. Marking on filters used on this device are in accordance with EN 12941 and do
not relate to any other standards.
