ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Appendices

The appendices are located in the back of this manual and contain important material such as warranty details,
certifications, and license agreements.

Before You Begin

Before beginning any procedures, review the manual in its entirety. Thoroughly read all warnings, cautions, and
notes. Ensure that the proper tools, kits, parts, and materials are at hand and ready for use; any required tools and
other supporting materials are listed at the beginning of the procedure. When performing any maintenance checks or
services on any 3M Scott Fire & Safety product or device, proceed only as far as necessary and as instructed by this
manual.

Maintenance and Repairs

Comply with all instructions and warnings contained in all applicable manuals.
It is your responsibility to obtain and use the most current instructions that apply to the operations being performed.
The instructional material must include the most current materials: manuals or manual modules, Operation and
Maintenance Instructions, Inspection and Cleaning Instructions, Installation and Use Instructions, and any additional
3M-approved support material required to maintain the equipment.
Current service literature is available from 3M. The Certified Technician I Training Manual contains additional
maintenance information that goes beyond the routine cleaning and regular operational inspection of the respirator
but is less advanced than Certified Technician II-level maintenance available at a 3M Authorized Service Center. A
person with good mechanical ability using standard hand tools is capable of performing Technician I-level tasks.
Contact 3M or your 3M distributor for details.
Because this equipment may be used to support human life in a hazardous atmosphere, do not attempt
maintenance beyond that described in this instruction or in the Certified Technician I Training Manual. If
disassembly or adjustment other than described in this manual or the Certified Technician I Training Manual is
required, the equipment must be serviced by a 3M Authorized Service Center in accordance with the appropriate
3M Technician Service Manuals. You can arrange service by an Authorized Service Center through your authorized
3M distributor or by contacting 3M.
If you note a discrepancy while performing operation or maintenance checks and services, tag the equipment as
"Out of Service" and refer it to a 3M Certified Technician II.
While an attempt has been made to address all foreseeable operation/service conditions, exercise careful
judgment in removing from service any equipment that does not appear to function correctly, even if all operator-
level maintenance checks and services have been completed. If there is any doubt regarding the safe operation of
the equipment, remove it from service and tag it for repair.

Retirement Criteria and Considerations

Retirement criteria and considerations to be determined by technicians with Certified Technician II qualifications in
accordance with NFPA 1852.
