Battery Pack Charge Status

Battery pack charge status is indicated by pressing the indicator button on the top of the battery (Fig. 9). Number of bars illuminated
indicates approximate battery pack charge capacity (5 bars: 80-100%; 1 bar: less than 20%) based on original battery capacity.
NOTE: As the battery pack ages, it will normally lose capacity. An older battery pack, or one that has been exposed to
temperature extremes, may show less than 5 bars after completing a charge cycle (i.e. after a full charge as indicated by the
battery charger, only 4 bars light indicating 60-80% of original capacity is available).

Install and Remove the 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-600 Battery Packs
NOTE: Only 3M™ Battery Pack TR-630 and 3M™ Battery Pack TR-632 can be used with the 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air
Purifying Respirator TR-600 Motor/Blower. Attempts to use any other battery pack will void the NIOSH approval, system
warranty, will not provide respiratory protection, and may damage the PAPR. Versaflo TR-600 battery packs will not
function on other PAPR systems.
To install a charged battery pack, hold the unit so the filter cover faces you (Fig. 10).
• Inspect the hinge and latch on the battery pack and ensure it is clean and undamaged.
• Inspect the molding surrounding the electrical connection pins. It must be in place and intact.
• Ensure the gold electrical contact on the battery and motor/blower are clean and free of debris.
• Hook the hinge end of the battery pack into its holder on the bottom of the unit (Fig. 10, step 1).
• Push the latch side of the battery pack into the motor/blower until the latch engages with an audible click (Fig. 10, step 2).
• Grasp the battery pack and gently pull to confirm pack is locked into place.
To remove the battery pack, hold the unit so the filter cover faces you. Press the blue battery pack latch and pull the battery
pack down and out.

BELT AND BACKPACK
The 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-600 must be used with either a belt or backpack.
Belt
The Versaflo TR-600 is approved for use with two premium belt options: the 3M™ Heavy Duty Belt TR-626 features a
durable surface and leather straps, the 3M™ Easy Clean Belt TR-627 features a smooth deconable surface and urethane
straps. Select an approved belt appropriate for the work conditions.
To install the belt:
1. With a filter/cartridge and filter cover installed, place the motor/blower face down on a table with outlet facing away
from you.
2. Place the 4 keyholes (Fig. 11-2) of the belt onto the 4 T-bars (Fig. 11-1) on the back of the motor/blower (Fig. 11-3).
3. Push down on the belt between the top and bottom keyholes on each side using your thumbs (Fig. 11-4).
4. Slide the belt up (Fig. 11-5) until the belt snaps over the belt locking tabs on the bottom of the motor/blower (Fig. 11-6).
5. Gently tug on belt to ensure it is securely attached to the motor/blower unit.
6. Position the motor/blower so it rests in the small of the back or other location around the waist. Tighten belt for a snug
comfortable fit. A belt extender is available if additional length is needed.
7. Secure excess belt length into the belt keeper. Excess belt length may be carefully trimmed if it will not be needed.
To remove the belt from the motor/blower, lift the lower, center portion of the belt over the locking edges and slide the belt down.
