The user display provides the status of the battery charge and level of filter
clogging.
The red LEDs indicate the charge level of the battery. 5 illuminated LEDs
represent a maximum charge level, 1 illuminated LED represents a minimum
charge level and the user will be warned about this low charge level of the battery
by means of an alarm signal. It is necessary to change the battery or to recharge it.
Yellow LEDs indicate the actual level of filter clogging. The LEDs light up
gradually according to the level of gradual filter clogging. When all 5 LEDs are lit
up, the filters are clogged to a maximum level and the user will be alerted by an
alarm about the insufficient air flow. The filters must be changed immediately.
Altitude – The lower density of air at higher elevations impacts the blower control
system. At higher elevations, the blower will exhaust the battery more quickly and
the system will sense that the filters are more clogged than they would be at sea
level. These effects will start to be noticed at elevations above approximately 3200
feet (1000 meters). The R60 AIRMAX ELITE* blower is not recommended for use in
elevations above 5280 feet (1600 meters).
Filter
The R60 AIRMAX ELITE* blower is equipped with a high-efficiency (HE) particle filter.
The filters provided with the R60 AIRMAX ELITE* blower kit each include a pre-filter
and spark arrester. These are found under the snap-on filter cover that has the
oval JACKSON SAFETY* logo. The pre-filter extends the operating life of the main
filter by capturing coarse particles. The spark arrester helps protect the main filter
from damage by sparks and welding spatter.
The level of filter clogging must be regularly checked by means of the air flow test.
The blower may also alarm when the filters are clogged.
FILTER CLOGGING – LOW FLOWRATE - When a low flowrate condition is
encountered, try replacing the pre-filters first. If the low flowrate condition is not
resolved, you will need to to replace the HE filters. Always change both pre-filters
or filters together, not just one.

Use ONLY new R60 AIRMAX ELITE* pre-filters and filters approved for use with this
blower.
From the hygienic point of view, it is not recommended to leave the filter in the unit
for more than 180 working hours.
Replacing Filters
Two R60 AIRMAX ELITE* HE filters are required for the R60 AIRMAX ELITE* blower
to work properly.
Always replace both filters at the same time.
• Remove filters from the blower by unscrewing each filter counterclockwise.
• Inspect both filter cavities in the blower for damage to the sealing ring. Clean any
dirt or debris from the cavity and threads.
• New filters are screwed into the blower clockwise until tightly seated into the unit's
body. Tighten at least 1/8 turn past when you feel the filter's seal seat in the
blower. Ensure the filters are fully tightened to ensure proper sealing.
Installing the pre-filter and the spark arrestor
• Remove filter cover by lifting the JACKSON SAFETY* logo tab.
• Place the metal mesh spark arrester into the FILTER COVER.
• Place the pre-filter into the cover on top of the spark arrester, recess first.
• Snap the filter cover back onto the filter. The pre-filter should be between the mesh
spark arrester and the main body.
