Comment
To Hold and protect the filters
Replace deformed or damaged to
protect the particle filter from sparks
and spatter
Regular replacement of the prefilter
extends the life of the particle filter,
saving money while also increasing the
battery run-time
Replace when particle filter indicator
becomes red. Otherwise, replace
whenever the battery operating time
becomes too short, or when the low
airflow alarm is triggered by a fully
loaded filter.
Smell and taste is not recommended
as a measure for determining when to
change gas filters.
Odour filter is not neccessary when a
gas and vapour filter is used
Replace if the battery is no longer
taking charge to an acceptable level
Replace if any parts are damaged
Use a breathing tube cover to extend
the life time or a rubber breathing tube
for use in heavy duty environments
