WARNING
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING FREE AIR
®
PUMP MODELS EDP-10, EDP-16-TE OR EDP-16-HAZ.
FAILURE TO OPERATE ANY OF THESE PUMPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY TO THE RESPIRATOR WEARER.
1. Locate the pump’s inlet air filter in a clean breathable air location at all times. THE PUMP DOES NOT REMOVE TOxIC GASES OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS FROM
THE INCOMING AIR IT TRANSFERS TO THE RESPIRATOR WEARER.
See the BREATHING AIR REQUIREMENTS section on page 4 for specific details on breathing air quality. THESE PUMPS DO NOT SUPPLY OxYGEN.
2. This pump will only supply the required volume of air [6-15 cfm (170-425 lpm) for hoods or 4-15 cfm (113-425 lpm) for tight fitting half or full face masks] to
low pressure continuous-flow supplied-air respirators approved by MSHA/NIOSH to operate at less than 15 psig (103 kPa).
Be sure that the pump’s outlet pressure, measured by the pressure gauge on the pump, is maintained above the minimum pressure setting required by the
respirator manufacturer.
To be assured your respirator can be used with this pump refer to:
a) The Pump Specification Table on page 1 for the maximum outlet pressure of the pump model you are using.
b) The section in the respirator’s instruction manual for the respirator’s approved pressure range and permissible air supply hose lengths.
If you have any questions about whether or not your respirator is compatible with this pump, contact Bullard Customer Service Department at 1-800-
827-0423 or 1-859-234-6611.
3. Supplied-air respirators used with this pump must not be worn in any atmosphere immediately dangerous to life or health or from which the wearer cannot
escape without the use of the respirator.
4. When connecting your respirator to the Free-Air
®
pump use only the air supply hose and couplers required by the respirator manufacturer and approved by
MSHA/NIOSH.
Use of non-approved hose or couplers will void the respirator’s MSHA/NIOSH Approval and could reduce the air flow to the respirator, resulting in possible
death or serious injury to the respirator wearer.
5. DO NOT modify or alter this pump in any manner. Use only approved Bullard Free-Air pump components and replacement parts on the pump.
Failure to use approved Bullard components and replacement parts invalidates all Bullard warranties, and may result in death or serious injury to the
respirator wearer.
6. If you have any questions concerning the use of this pump or your respirator, or you are not sure the inlet filter is in a breathable location, ask your supervisor.
All instructions for the use and care of this product must be supplied to you by your employer as recommended by the manufacturer and as required by
Federal Law
(29 CFR 1910.134).
