Spares and Accessories for Adflo Powered Air Turbo System

The 3M Adflo Powered Air Respirator System is a combined face and breathing protection device, for increased comfort and safety in welding. 

To optimise the effective lifetime of your equipment and avoid the additional cost of replacement, regular maintenance is important.

Before Use: 

• Check the Battery is fully charged and fitted correctly
• Inspect the unity for damage 
• Inspect the Breathing Tube and Connections - ensure they are free from splits and holes. Replace if necessary
• Ensure filters are correctly fitted - the particle filter must be changed if the battery operating time becomes too short. Ise the electronic particle filter indicator and the graph in the user instructions to confirm battery life (Note: the particle filter cannot be cleaned) 
• Perform airflow check - fit the breathing tube to the Adflo unit and insert airflow indicator tube into the other end of the tube, switch on, ensure ball rises above the line. If the ball does not rise above the line replace the filters 
• Check the low flow alarm is functioning. Cover the breathing tube opening so that no air can escape. Wait for the alarm to sound. 

After Use: 

• The outside of the Adflo Unit can be wiped clean if necessary 
• Disinfect with 3M 105 wipes 
• Charge Battery 
• If you suspect that the inside of the Breathing Tube is dirty, it must be changed
• Store in a dry, clean area/ locler away from direct dunlight, high temperatures and solvents. DO NOT rinse or immerse in water. DO NOT clean with solvents. 

Monthly: 

• Carry out all 'Before Use' inspections and create record of this monthly check for the Turbo Unit

When Changing the Filter: 

• If necessary, clean or change the Spark Arresstor (metal mesh) on the inside of the filter cover.
