ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey Stockist. If the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable Appliance Test) tested.
Electrical safety information, it is important that the following information is read and understood.

• Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.

• Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.

• Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating in these instructions.

• DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

• DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Remove the plug from the socket by maintaining a firm grip on the plug.

• DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a
  qualified electrician.

• This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use. Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician. Class II products are wired with live (brown) and neutral (blue) only, and are marked with the Class II symbol;

  • A) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
  • B) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
  • C) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires and ensure that all wires have been correctly connected. Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.

• DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal. Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.

  1. Atmospheres are oxygen deficient.
  2. Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
  3. Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health.
  4. Contaminant concentrations exceed the maximum use concentration determined using the assigned Protection Factor for the specific respirator system.

• If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.

• Work in confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch-
  person nearby. Ensure the breathing air is safe.

• Read and follow these instructions and the safety labels carefully.

• The powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) helps protect the user from specific airborne contaminants but must be used correctly
  to be fully effective. Have an industrial hygienist test the air in your facility to ensure the PAPR provides adequate protection from
  contaminants in your environment. If you have questions about the respirator, see equipment warning label and consult your Safety

  AS&NZS approved.

• DO NOT use the respirator where oxygen levels are 19.5% or lower, where contaminant levels are unknown or are immediately
  dangerous to life or health, or where the contaminant levels exceed the respirator specifications.

• DO NOT enter a hazardous area until you are sure the respirator equipment is correctly assembled, working properly, and properly
  worn.

• Before each use, inspect the respirator equipment for damage and verify it operates properly.

• Before using the respirator, test air flow to verify it is providing an adequate volume of air.

• Hold the flow meter vertically and start the blower (see section 4.9.1).
• The flow meter ball should float above the MIN mark (fi g 7 – 2).
• WARNING! If the flow meter indicates MIN or below turn the blower off (see section 4.9.5), then check the battery and filter elements.

HEAD SHIELD ADJUSTMENT

• Adjust the head shield circumference with the thumb wheel (fi g 8 – 1) on the back band of the face shield. The thumb wheel is locked in position. Press the thumb wheel in to unlock, then twist clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. At the desired circumference release the thumb wheel back into the locked position, .

• Adjust the height by snapping the pin on the top band (fi g 8 – 2) into the required hole location to lock securely in place.

• To adjust the viewing angle, loosen the thumb wheels (fi g 8 – 3) on both sides of the head shied and change the angle locker to the desired tilt position. There are 5 pre-set positions with the head shield supplied in the mid-setting.
  NOTE: The head shield should still be free enough to be raised up, but not to drift downwards.

• To adjust the distance between the user’s face and the head shield’s clear lens, loosen the thumb wheels (fi g 8 – 3) on both sides of the head shield until the headband can move back and forth freely. Position the headband into one of the 3 slots (fi g 8 – 4), as desired (the head shield is supplied in the mid setting). This should be completed one side at a time and both sides must be located in the same location. Re-tighten the thumb wheels.
