Read and Understand User Instructions Before Use

WARNING

The 3M Scott AV-2000 Facpieces, AV-3000 with SureSeal™ Facepieces and AV-3000 HT Facepieces are

intended for use as part of a complete respirator that may support life in hazardous atmospheres.

Additional components are required to make a complete respirator. Only those options and/or accessories

authorized by 3M Scott Safety and approved by NIOSH, and where appropriate NFPA, may be installed in

Inspection Procedures


Pre-Use Inspection

Conduct the following inspection before each use:

1. Inspect the facepiece seal, nose cup and rubber components for

deformation, wear, damage or cracks.

2. Check that all harness anchors are present and firmly attached.

Inspect the head harness for correct installation and for damaged

or worn components.

3. Inspect the lens for cracks, gouges, scratches, or any condition that

could impair the operation of the facepiece or the user’s vision.

4. Inspect the facepiece port for damage where the

regulator/adapter attaches.

5. Inspect the lens frame bezel for damage such as cracks or

distortion. For AV-3000 with SureSeal™ Facepieces and AV-3000

HT Facepieces, ensure both side screws are present and installed

correctly.

Pre-Use Inspection

6. Inspect the Voicemitters and ducts for damage.

7. Ensure the correct nose cup is properly installed:

• AV-2000 Facepiece nose cup is gray and includes black inhalation valves

• AV-3000 with SureSeal™ Facepiece nose cup is gray and does not have inhalation valves

• AV-3000 HT Facepiece nose cup in is dark gray and includes red inhalation valves

8. Ensure the nose cup is correctly positioned as shown. Check that the

nose cup is properly seated between the flanges of the Voicemitter

ducts.

9. Examine the facepiece assembly to be certain the inhalation valves

are properly installed.

• AV-2000 Facepiece and AV-3000 HT Facepiece inhalation valves are located in the nosecup

• AV-3000 with SureSeal™ Facepiece inhalation valves are located in the Voicemitterducts

The facepiece must be complete and in serviceable condition with no worn, loose, or damaged components. If any damage is found, remove the facepiece from service and tag for repair by authorized personnel.

2. Potable (drinking) water

3. Sponge or soft brush

4. Soft, lint-free cloth

5. Air supply – clean air (not shop air) at or below 30 psig

Note: Water/solution/air temperature should be warm but not exceed 110°F or 43°C

Disinfecting Solution Options:

1. Hyperquat: Manufactured by Lalema. (Canada DIN 02241052). Dilute 1:250 (4 ml/ℓ). Contact time is 10 minutes.

2. Fresh-Gear FG350: Manufactured by Georgia Steel and Chemical Co., Inc. (Canada DIN 01944029). Mix 3.9 ml in 1ℓ of potable water.

Recommended contact time is 10 minutes.


Cleaning, disinfecting and Drying

Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Do not use bleach stronger than a 50 ppm solution in water.

Do not use cleaners containing quaternary ammonium compounds other than those recommended by 3M.

Do not use solvents such as acetone, paint and lacquer thinner, benzene, or dry cleaning fluid.

Do not polish the facepiece lens with paper towels as most paper contains abrasives.

Do not autoclave.

Do not use a vapour degreaser/polisher.

Do not use shop air or any other air containing lubricants or moisture.



1. Remove accessories as needed, based on cleaning technique.

2. Apply cleaner/disinfectr solution and ensure adequate coverage. Gently brush the

facepiece and head harness. Ensure cleaner/disinfectr remains wet for the

recommended contact time.

3. Rinse thoroughly with potable water.

4. Gently shake excess water from the facepiece.

5. Dry the facepiece. You may:

• Air dry at temperatures below 110°F or 43°C, and/or;

• Wipe the facepiece with a clean, lint-free cloth and/or;

• Blow clean, dry breathing air over the facepiece at 30 psig or less (do not use

shop air). If a warm air blower is used, ensure the air temperature remains

below 110°F or 43°C.

Facepiece



1. Remove the regulator from the facepiece.

2. Depress the air-saver switch and close the purge valve.

3. Ensure water and cleaner/disinfectr solutions do not enter the airline

during cleaning. Ensure the purge valve remains closed.

4. Apply the cleaner/disinfectr solution adequately in and around the

regulator opening (ex. 6 full pumps from a spray bottle). Swirl to

completely cover internal components. Gently brush the regulator as

needed. Ensure cleaner/disinfectr remains wet for the recommended

contact time.

5. Thoroughly rinse the regulator with potable (drinking) water. You may

squirt water into the opening using a spray bottle or use running tap

water.

6. Turn the regulator opening face down, and gently shake excess water out

of the regulator.

7. Dry the regulator. You may:


• Wipe the exterior surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth and/or;

• Blow clean, dry breathing air over the regulator at 30 psig or less (do not use shop air). If a warm air blower is used, ensure the air temperature remains below 110°F or 43°C.

8. Reconnect the regulator to a source of compressed breathing air such as

an SCBA or airline respirator. Open the purge valve in order to blow air

through the spray bar and remove any moisture from that portion of the

regulator. Close the purge valve.

9. Ensure the regulator is completely dry before storage or reuse.

10. Perform the regulator check process per your operation and maintenance

manual prior to next use.



Functional Check of Regulator1

2

1. Verify that the air-saver (donning) switch is fully depressed.

2. Close the purge knob by turning fully clockwise.

3. Check to make sure the respirator cylinder is at least Τ1 3 full.

4. Reattach the regulator to the facepiece (if removed for cleaning).

5. Slowly open the cylinder valve at least 2 ½ turns.

6. If airflow from the regulator is heard, close the cylinder valve, repeat

steps 1, 2 and 3. If airflow is still heard, close the cylinder valve fully, tag

unit for repair and remove from service.

7. Open the purge valve and observe the air flow from the spray bar:• Droplets of water indicate the regulator is not dry

• If the regulator is dry, proceed to next step

• If water droplets were observed, dry the regulator according to Steps 6 and 7 of the previously reviewed procedure for cleaning,disinfecting and drying the regulator, then repeat the regulator check

8. Don facepiece and inhale to initiate pressurization. Lift an edge of the faceseal to simulate a leak. Air should freely flow from the facepiece.
