Backframe and Harness Assembly

All model respirators described by these instructions feature an aluminum backframe equipped with a shoulder
harness and a waist pad made of Kevlar® fiber
is a strap integrated into the shoulder harness of the SCBA to assist with rescuing a downed user. The optional
Universal Emergency Breathing Support System (UEBSS) connects to the waist pad and provides an accessory hose
to supply air to or receive air from another respirator user or to connect to an extended duration air supply hose
line.

Cylinder and Valve Assembly

The cylinder mounts on the Air-Pak X3 Pro CGA with a CGA-threaded hose coupling and on the Air-Pak X3 Pro
Snap-Change with a Snap-Change connector. Both types of cylinders are available as 2.2 (2216 psig), 4.5 (4500
psig), or 5.5 (5500 psig) pressures.

Dual-Redundant Pressure Reducer

The dual-redundant pressure reducer provides two pressure reducers in one, interconnected through an automatic
transfer valve. A reduction in primary pressure triggers an automatic transfer to the secondary circuit to provide an
uninterrupted supply of air. When the transfer occurs, the Vibralert end-of-service indicator alarm on the regulator
actuates (see "Vibralert" on page 3).

Full Facepiece with Head Harness

The full facepiece is available in specific models and sizes. Before use, the facepiece must be properly fitted as
