5.4 WEARING INSTRUCTIONS:
DON HELMET IN A FRESH AIR ENVIRONMENT ONLY
Position belt, with blower unit and cartridges already fitted on the left and
battery on the right (for T8N only), around waist
Don helmet and tighten collar drawstring around neck by pressing the button

possible around neck to assure maximum closure but it should at all times feel
comfortable and not restrict breathing in any way.
Connect breathing hose assembly to blower unit by pressing the hose connector
into the motor housing of the unit.
Close lift-up face shield.
5.5 AIR FLOW INDICATOR –INSTRUCTIONS AND PERFORMANCE CHECK
Carry out the airflow performance check hereunder before each respirator use:
Remove helmet-blower unit connection hose.
Ensure the battery is fully charged (see battery charging instructions packed with
the battery charger) and that the cartridges are fitted into the blower unit securely.
Insert airflow indicator onto the air outlet of the blower unit and position so that
the indicator is upright.
Start the unit and observe the position of the indicator ball inside the tube.
If the indicator ball rises above the indicator line (6 cfm/170 l.p.m), the
respirator is ready for use.
If the ball fails to move or remains on or below the indicator line, insufficient
airflow is being provided. This may be the result of a battery with a low
charge or an overloaded filter. Replace the filters and repeat the test.
Should the ball still remain below the indicator line, replace the battery and
repeat complete test.
Remove the airflow indicator and reconnect the breathing hose to the unit.
