SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

These filters meet the requirements of EN143:2000,
Particle Filter(s) and AS/NZS 1716:2012 and should
be used in combination with an approved 3M™ Face
piece to form a filtering apparatus for respiratory
protection against certain solid and liquid airborne
particles. Filter Performance data is detailed in the
Technical Specification. In addition, the 3M™ 5000
Series particulate filters may be used in conjunction
with the3M™ 6000 Series gas and vapour filters. To
use with 3M™ 6000 filters, a 3M™ 501 filter retainer
is required. Alternatively, the 5000 series filters can
be used on their own,with a 3M 501 filter retainer,
and a 3M™ 603 filter platform.
For permitted filter combinations see Fig. 1.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1 Place the filter into the 501 retainer so that the
printed side will face the gas and vapour filter (fig 2).
Check that the filter lies flat. 2 Place the 501 retainer
onto the gas and vapour filter, it should lock
securely.The filter should completely cover the face of
the gas and vapour filter. (fig 3). 3 If using the 3M
5000 Series on its own, fix 603 to the facepiece, place
3M 5000 filter on 603 and clamp the 501 onto the 603
platform. Ensure that the printed side of the filter is
facing the 603 platform. 4 Remove to replace filter by
lifting on TAB as shown (fig 4). These filters are
supplied in pairs of identical class and type and must
be fitted, used and replaced at the same time (as
shown). The effective life of a filter will vary depending
on the level of contaminant, work rate, exposure time
etc. Particulate filters must be changed when
breathing resistance becomes unacceptable.
Disposal of parts should be undertaken in accordance
with local health and safety and environmental
64 regulations.
