2. Insert the bottom end of the breathing tube into the outlet of the Powered
Air Turbo and turn the end of the breathing tube to ensure it is fitted firmly.
3. Select an approved belt (see reference leaflet for list of 3M approved
belts). The Powered Air Turbo has four locking studs (see Fig 8) and the belt
has four corresponding holes (see Fig 9). Insert the four locking studs into
the holes on the belt (See Fig 10). Push down on the belt between the top
and bottom holes on each side (see Fig 11). Slide the belt up (See Fig 12)
until the belt snaps over the belt locking tabs on the bottom of the Powered
Air Turbo (see Fig 13). Adjust and buckle the waist belt with the Powered Air
Turbo fitted comfortably around your waist. (See note below for fitting
optional backpack). See separate braces user instructions if used.
4. Adjust the headtop as outlined in the appropriate user instruction.
5. Switch on the Powered Air Turbo by pressing the on button for 1 second.
The unit will perform a self-diagnostic. Flow level, filter loading and battery
charger indicators will flash and the auditory and vibratory alarm will activate.
Fit the Headtop and ensure at least minimum airflow is achieved. (The
audible/vibratory alarm will sound if below minimum airflow - please see fault
finding).
Note: When fitting the Powered Turbo to the optional backpack, it is
recommended that it is attached in the orientation shown in Fig 14. The
backpack adaptor should be fitted in the correct orientation to ensure this is
possible. Attach the backpack adaptor to the backpack as shown in Fig 15
and check that it is firmly held in place by the attached fastening. Insert the
four locking studs on the back of the Powered Air Turbo into the holes on the
adaptor and ensure a secure fit.
IN USE
The Powered Air Turbo will always start at the standard flow setting when
switched on. Press and hold the fan button for 1 second to change the
airflow setting. Repeated pressing of this button will cycle through the flow
settings. If no buttons are pressed after 30 seconds of use, the display will
enter a sleep-mode. Press any button momentarily to exit this mode. The
display also has an indicator for tight-fitting mode. When a breathing tube for
a tight-fitting facepiece is attached to the Powered Air Turbo, the Turbo
changes to operate in a tight-fitting mode and the indicator is lit.

^ The filter loading indicator is for particulates only. It does not provide any
information about gas and vapour service life. Leave the contaminated area
immediately if taste or smell contaminants.
Use in the 'power-off' state is not normal, little or no protection is
provided and a build up of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen
within the Headtop may occur, vacate the contaminated area
immediately.
Take care to prevent the breathing tube from becoming looped around
protruding objects. If during use, the airflow into the Headtop stops and the
alarm sounds, vacate the contaminated area immediately and investigate
the cause (please see fault finding).
NOTE: The 'in-use' life of the product will vary with frequency and
conditions of use. In everyday use, the expected 'in-use' life is 3-5 years.
Some extreme conditions may result in deterioration over a shorter period.
The product must be stored and maintained as stated below.
Note: Do not expose battery pack to temperatures above 54°C. The
Powered Air Turbo battery alarm will activate if battery pack temperature
reaches 54°C while the Powered Air Turbo is in use. The Powered Air Turbo
will shut down if the battery pack temperature exceeds 60°C.
^ Do not use the batteries outside of the recommended temperature limits.
DOFFING
Do not remove the headtop or turn off the air supply until you have
vacated the contaminated area.
Note: Contaminant may be removed by following the appropriate steps in the
cleaning instructions prior to doffing or disassembly of the system.
1. Lift the Headtop off the head.
2. Switch off the Powered Air Turbo by pressing the power button for 2
seconds.
3. Unbuckle the waist belt. If required, remove the belt from the Powered Air
Turbo by lifting the lower, centre portion of the belt over the locking edges
and sliding the belt down (see Fig 16).
If required, the breathing tube can be removed. However, the Powered Air
Turbo should be turned upside down so that the outlet faces the ground (see
Fig 17) to help minimise the potential for contamination of the outlet.
5. If required, remove the filter by holding the Powered Air Turbo facing
downwards (cover towards the ground – see Fig 18). to help minimise the

potential for contamination of the motor/fan. Press the filter latch gently and
(less than 80% in
slowly pull the filter away from the Powered Air Turbo. Note: The Powered Air
example) Turbo should already be switched off before removing the filter.
To remove the cover from the filter, hold the filter upside down and pull out on
the blue tab at the bottom of the filter cover to unlatch it from the filter (see Fig
19). Pull the cover down and away from the filter.
Note: Filters may be stored attached to the Powered Air Turbo however, to
help maintain service life and keep the system clean, the Powered Air Turbo
should be stored in a sealed container. The system must also be fully
inspected prior to next use. Alternatively, the filter may be stored in its original
packaging.

If the respirator has been used in an area that has caused it to become
contaminated with a substance requiring special decontamination
procedures it should be placed in a suitable container and sealed until
it can be decontaminated or discarded.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Contaminant may be removed by following the appropriate steps in the
cleaning instructions prior to doffing or disassembly of the system. Use a
clean cloth dampened with a mild solution of water and liquid household
soap. Do not use petrol, chlorinated degreasing fluids (such as
trichloroethylene), organic solvents or abrasive cleaning agents to clean any
part of the equipment. Wipe in an outward direction. To disinfect use wipes
as detailed in Reference Leaflet. The Powered Air Turbo may also be worn
through a shower in order to remove further contaminant. Showering should
take place with the appropriate filter cover in place. Do not direct water into
the air inlet of the Powered Air Turbo but ensure system is thoroughly
cleaned during the process. Do not remove the breathing tube, filter or
battery during showering. Ensure the system is dry before removing the
breathing tube. Check the Powered Air Turbo outlet for contamination and
use a clean cloth if required. The spark arrestor can be cleaned using water
and liquid household soap. Completely dry the spark arrestor with a clean
cloth. If it cannot be cleaned or is damaged then it should be replaced. The
Powered Air Turbo can be immersed or put in a respirator washer for
cleaning. Filters must be removed and the air inlet and air outlet cleaning and
storage plugs must be inserted into the Powered Air Turbo first (see Fig 20).
