LIST OF WARNINGS WITHIN THESE USER INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is one component of an approved respiratory protection system. Always read and follow all User Instructions supplied with your 3M™
Adflo™ and 3M™ Headgear and other system components in order to ensure correct system operation. Failure to do so may result in injury,
sickness, or death.
2. The 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR System is not intrinsically safe. Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres, doing so may result in serious injury
or death.
3. Always correctly use and maintain the lithium-ion battery packs. Failure to do so may cause fire or explosion or could adversely affect respirator
performance and result in injury, sickness, or death.
a. Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, in hazardous locations, or near sources of high heat.
b. Do not use charge or store batteries outside of the recommended temperature limits.
c. Charge in an area free of combustible material and readily monitored.
d. Charge only with 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR Battery Smart Charger for Lithium Ion Battery 35-0099-08.
e. Do not allow water to enter battery case.
4. Dispose of lithium ion battery packs according to local environmental regulations. Do not crush, disassemble, 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.
IMPORTANT:
Before use, the wearer must read and understand these User Instructions, the User Instructions for the 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR, and the User Instructions
for the intended headgear. Keep the User Instructions for reference. For proper use, see supervisor, refer to the product User Instructions or contact 3M
Technical Service at 1-800-243-4630. In Canada, call Technical Service at 1-800-267-4414.
Operating Instructions
The 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR System is not intrinsically safe. Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres, doing so may result in serious injury or
death.
Always correctly use and maintain the battery packs. Failure to do so may cause fire or explosion or could adversely affect respirator performance
and result in injury, sickness, or death.
a. Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, in hazardous locations, or near sources of high heat.
b. Do not use, charge or store batteries outside of the recommended temperature limits.
c. Charge in an area free of combustible material and readily monitored.
d. Charge only with 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR Battery Smart Charger for Lithium Ion Battery 35-0099-08.
e. Do not allow water to enter battery case.
Dispose of lithium ion battery packs according to local environmental regulations. Do not crush, disassemble, 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.
NOTE: Batteries should only be charged in temperatures between 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). IIf the charger's LED blinks yellow with one or two red
flashes, the battery pack is either too hot or too cold to charge. Battery will begin to charge once battery is within acceptable charging temperatures.
New battery packs should be charged upon receipt. The chargers are intended for indoor use where they are protected from moisture. The battery pack
can be charged separately or attached to the 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR Assembly. The battery should charge to 80% capacity in approximately 3 hours and to
100% capacity in approximately 6.5 hours, depending upon its residual charge.
1. Inspect the battery pack initially and prior to each charge cycle. If any cracks or damage to the case is noted, do not charge the battery pack. Replace
the battery pack and properly dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.
2. Place charger and battery pack in a cool, well ventilated location free of airborne contaminants.
3. Connect the charger output into the battery's charging socket (Fig. 1).
4. Plug the charger into a suitable source of AC power (110-120V). See Specification – Battery Pack/Charger section for charger's LED codes.
NOTE: 3M recommends disconnecting the battery pack from the charger once the battery is fully charged. A fully charged battery can be left in the
trickle-charging mode for a short amount of time (3-4 days). Leaving the battery pack connected to the charger for prolonged periods of time may
damage the battery pack cells. To avoid damage to the battery pack cells, do not leave it connected to the charger for prolonged durations.
The 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR Motor/Blower has a three-bar battery indicator (Fig. 2) that is operational when the unit is turned on. When all three bars are
illuminated, the battery has 80-100% capacity. Two bars indicate 20-80% capacity. One bar indicates 5-20% capacity. At approximately 15–30 minutes
of charge remaining (less than 5%), the bottom LED will begin to flash and the audible alarm will sound.
Installation and Removal of the 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR Battery Pack
To install the battery pack:
1. Inspect the hinge and latch on the battery pack and ensure they are clean and undamaged.
2. Hook the left edge of the battery pack into its holder on the bottom of the unit and press the battery pack into the motor/blower until the catch fully
engages with two audible clicks (Fig. 3).
3. Gently tug on the battery pack to verify it is secured to the 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR.
To remove the battery pack press the battery pack latch on the right of the battery pack. Pull the battery pack down and out.
Battery Pack Storage
To help maximize battery pack service life:
• Store the battery pack at -4°F (-20°C) to 115°F (45°C). R.H. < 85%. Storage of the battery pack outside of this range will shorten service life of the
battery.
• The 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR Battery Pack may remain on the charger for 3 to 4 days after completion of charging, but for maximum battery life,
disconnect the charger after a full charge has been received.
• Battery packs for long-term storage should be disconnected from the motor/blower.
• Battery packs not intended for immediate or regular use should be charged upon receipt and placed on regular recharge schedule (every 3 months of
non-use). Prolonged storage of battery packs without regular recharge may damage the battery pack cells.
Refer to 3M Technical Data Bulletin #178 for additional information on battery pack maintenance (www.3m.com/workersafety).
