If the blower device no longer reaches the minimum flow rate, the buzzer will sound and P0 will
flash on
the display. Decreased P-status can be caused by clogged filters or for instance a throttled
breathing hose. Check the filters and free air flow to the facepiece.
Use
See Instructions for Use of the facepiece and filter to be used. Always use 2 or 3 filters of the
same type and class.
Check before use
intactness of facepiece and blower device
filters are intact and properly fastened to the blower device. Shake the filter to ensure that there
are no loose components/contents. The filter shall be replaced if it has been exposed to strong
press or impact. It may be damaged, also by a fall on a hard surface, also when attached to a
blower device.
breathing hose is tightly fixed to the blower device and facepiece.
Check adequate air flow and state of the battery
Assemble all items ready for use (facepiece connected) but do not don the unit.
Start the blower by switching to position | so the buzzer will sound.
Battery status A8-A9 indicates a fully charged battery. Lower A-indication is safe to use but
indicates that the battery is not full. Full duration time will require a fully charged battery.
Don the blower device. Carry the device so that you can check the blower's display when
working. Donning instructions for the facepieces are given in the respective Instructions for Use.
After use
Stop the blower device by switching to position 0.
The blower device must always be turned off from the switch, also if the device has stopped due
to low battery.
Doff the unit. Carry out the necessary maintenance for the blower device and recharge the
battery.
Cleaning
Clean with a damp cloth or sponge. When necessary, a ready-for-use device (breathing hose
connected) can be cleaned under shower, with the filters facing down. Do not spray water into
the filters. Filters must be replaced after shower-cleaning.
Do not use solvents (e.g. acetone, turpentine). Never clean with compressed air or compressed
water.
Storage
Store protected from direct sunlight, at -10...+30 °C and relative humidity (RH) under 75 %
(sealed filters RH max. 95 %).
Interim recharging
Deep discharge of the battery during long-term storage can be prevented by keeping the blower
device on recharge.
However, if standby charging is unpractical, batteries can be interim-recharged e.g. three times
a year. Prior to use, at least one cycle of discharge and charge should be carried out.
Disposal
See WEEE.
A very contaminated blower device as well as used filters are special refuse and shall be disposed
of according to the filtered substances (gases or particles).
Discarded batteries are hazardous waste. Make sure that they are disposed of according to
waste treatment regulations.
Maintenance
The blower device shall be serviced at least once a year by a Service Center authorized by Scott
(http://www.scottsafety.com).
Replace worn-out filters. Always replace all filters at the same time.
Check that the breathing hose is undamaged and replace a broken one. Replace other parts
when necessary. Only use original spare parts.
Maintenance of the facepieces is described in the respective Instructions for Use.
