3.6 Located adjacent to the outer lens frame within
the respirator helmet is an air flow indicator. If
the air flow to the respirator helmet is as
specified in section 3.2, the indicator float will
show GREEN. Should the air flow to the
respirator helmet be inadequate, the air flow
indicator will show RED.
! WARNING ! – VERY ARDUOUS OPERATING
CONDITIONS, LEADING TO PEAK OPERATOR
INHALATION FLOW, MAY CAUSE NEGATIVE
PRESSURE WITHIN THE RESPIRATOR HELMET.
3.7 The airflow to the respirator helmet must
remain between a minimum of 170L/min (6CFM)
and a maximum of 425L/min (15CFM) at all
times.

3.8 Breathing Air Quality
! WARNING ! – READ THIS SECTION
CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT/
APPARATUS.
3.9 The quality of compressed air supplied to the
respirator must be filtered quality breathing air
as per AS/NZS1715 or higher quality.
! WARNING ! – FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE
AIR MOISTURE CONTENT AS SPECIFIED IN
AS/NZS1715 MAY CAUSE FREEZING OF THE

3.10 Heavy metal paint, asbestos, and other toxic
material dusts will cause serious lung disease
or death without the use of properly designed
and approved
equipment by blast operators and all personnel
within the work site area.
3.11 Never connect a respirator compressed airline
hose to an air source that has not been tested
for gas or particulate contamination. The
presence of unacceptable levels of carbon
monoxide (CO) in the breathing air will cause
death to the operator.

3.12 It is recommended not to use piston type or oil
bath compressors for breathing air. Use of
these types of compressors poses an extreme
danger of producing unacceptable levels of
carbon monoxide in breathing air which could
to cause death to the operator.
3.13 The compressor must have adequate output
and the plumbing between the compressor and
the point of attaching the air supply hose must
have sufficient capacity to supply the volume of
air at the pressure required.
3.14 Do not use any caustic chemicals or solvents
that may be irritating or harmful to the user, or
which change the properties of the materials
used in any part of the respirator helmet
system.
3.15 The design
applicable to the respirator helmet applies only
when used as a complete system as supplied
under respirator helmet assemblies and with
one of the respirator compressed airline hose
combinations as listed in table 3.2, without any
modification, deletion or substitution of any
components.
3.16 The quality of air supplied to the respirator
helmet is critical to the safety and comfort of
the operator. Special care must also be taken to
avoid accidental connection to any other gas
lines; such as, oxygen, acetylene or nitrogen
etc.
! WARNING ! – DO NOT CONNECT OXYGEN
OR OXYGEN ENRICHED AIR SUPPLY TO THE
RESPIRATOR HELMET.
3.17 Air supply by oil lubricated air compressors
must be equipped with a high temperature
alarm or a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm such as
the PanBlast
only a high temperature alarm is used, the air
from the compressor must be tested frequently
for the presence of carbon monoxide (CO). It is
the operators' responsibility to check the air
supply. This includes the compressor, carbon
monoxide alarms, respirator airline filters and
shut down devices. An overheated compressor,
or one that is in poor mechanical condition,
may produce
objectionable odors. A carbon monoxide (CO)
removal system may also be used to ensure
breathing air quality.
! WARNING ! – NEVER ALLOW ANY VEHICLE
OR INTERNAL
OPERATE
COMPRESSOR INTAKE.
3.18 When breathing air is supplied by oil lubricated
and
precautions must be taken. The compressor
inlet must be located away from all sources of
toxic contaminants including carbon monoxide
which is found in the engine exhaust and in any
combustion
contaminants that may be harmful to the
operator can enter the respiratory equipment
through the compressor air inlet. This inlet
must not be located in proximity to any
exhaust system outlet, ventilation flue or
source of fumes or particles of any kind.
3.19 The precautions described above also apply to
portable compressors. In addition, in the case
