chemical cartridge, check that the scrim
fabric behind the inlet holes is clean and
white. Any sign of particle loading on the
chemical cartridge indicates improper
installation or damaged particle filter
assembly.
4. Consider 3M™ High Altitude Compensation
Adflo™ PAPR or an alternative 3M™ PAPR.
1. Fully charge the battery pack.
2. Install a new, fully-charged 3M™ Adflo™

3. Replace nuisance odor pad.
4. Replace particle filter.
1. Check the filter-loading indicator.
2. Replace the HE filter & pre-filter as indicated,
and examine the spark arrestor.
3. Battery pack will normally have shorter run
time with chemical cartridge in place.
4. Consider 3M™ High Altitude Compensation
Adflo™ PAPR or an alternative 3M™ PAPR.
1. Check the filter-loading indicator. Replace
the HE filter & pre-filter as indicated, and
examine the spark arrestor.
2. Normal operation. Let the unit run for 2
