Limitations Of Use; Respirator Program Management - 3M Versaflo TR-300+ Serie Instrucciones De Uso

e. Use of the spark arrestor is mandatory for welding and all situations where the 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered
Air Purifying Respirator TR-300+ may be exposed to sparks, molten metal or other hot particulates. Failure to
use the spark arrestor when needed may allow the filter to catch fire, or be damaged and allow contaminants
to enter the respirator and may result in injury, sickness or death.
f. Do not use the TR-3600 pre-filter and TR-362 Spark Arrestor in combination.
g. Store the filter as described in these User Instructions within the recommended storage temperature
conditions and observe filter expiration dates.
h. The filter loading indicator is for particulate loading levels only.
6. Dispose of lithium-ion battery packs according to local environmental regulations. Do not dispose of in standard
waste bins, in a fire or send for incineration. Failure to properly dispose of battery packs may lead to
environmental contamination, fire or explosion and may result in serious injury or death.
7. To reduce exposure to hazardous voltage:
a. Do not attempt to service the chargers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
b. Do not substitute, modify or add parts to the chargers.
c. Inspect the chargers and power cords before use. Replace if any parts are damaged.
d. Do not use the chargers outdoors or in wet environments.

LIMITATIONS OF USE

Do not wear this respirator system to enter areas where:
• Atmospheres are oxygen deficient.
• Contaminant concentrations are unknown.
• Contaminant concentrations are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).
• Contaminant concentrations exceed the maximum use concentration (MUC) determined using the Assigned
Protection Factor (APF) for the specific respirator system or the APF mandated by specific government
standards, whichever is lower.
• Atmospheres are flammable or explosive.
Immediately exit the contaminated area if any of the TR-300+ alarms activate.
Refer to the User Instructions provided with the applicable headgear and the additional cautions and limitations under
the "NIOSH Cautions and Limitations" in these User Instructions.
The recommended operating temperature range is 14°F to 129°F (-10°C to 54°C).
The recommended operating altitude range is -328 feet (-100 meters) to 14107 feet (4300 meters). For use in
elevations outside this range, contact 3M Technical Service.
Before use in environments subject to high magnetic fields, contact 3M Technical Service.

RESPIRATOR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Occupational use of respirators must be in compliance with applicable health and safety standards. By United
States regulation, employers must establish a written respirator protection program meeting the requirements of the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Respiratory Protection standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and any
applicable OSHA substance specific standards. For additional information on this standard contact OSHA at
www.OSHA.gov. In Canada, CSA standard Z94.4 requirements and/or requirements of the applicable jurisdiction must
be met as appropriate. The major sections of 29 CFR 1910.134 are listed here for convenience. Consult an industrial
hygienist or call 3M Technical Service with questions concerning applicability of these products to your job requirements.
