INTRODUCTION

This manual provides instructions for the use and maintenance of Allegro Ambient Air Breathing Apparatus
(AABA) Pumps. You must read and understand this manual and be trained in the proper use of the equipment
before using it in a contaminated atmosphere.

DESCRIPTION

Allegro AABA pumps are designed to pump clean, breathable air from an ambient source to NIOSH approved Type
C, Continuous Flow Supplied Air Respirators.

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS

CAUTION

NIOSH approved respirators and corresponding hose lengths must function at pressures generated by air pumps.
Use only Type "C" (constant flow, low pressure) respirators with AABA pumps.

WARNING!

Exhaust filter DOES NOT remove dangerous organic vapors, gases, or particulate. DO NOT use this equipment if
dangerous organic vapors, gases, or particulates are present.

WARNING!

Ambient air breathing pumps should only be used in areas containing sufficient oxygen to support life. Do not use
where contaminants are Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH).

FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
ALL PUMPS:
DO NOT place oil-less air pump in an area that cannot GUARANTEE clean Grade D breathable air, per OSHA 29

CFR 1910.134 to the AABA inlet. See below for Grade D requirements.

DO NOT attempt to service the air pump while it is running or while it is connected to electrical or air power.
DO NOT oil or lubricate the pump.
DO NOT kink power cord and never allow the cord to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
DO NOT use ungrounded electrical receptacles.
DO NOT use undersized electrical extension cords or wiring.
DO NOT use the pump as an air-filtering device for vapors, gases, or particulates.
DO NOT start pump without respirator(s) and hose(s) connected to pump.
DO NOT use Vortex type cooled respirators with Allegro pumps.

DO check all airline hoses for weakness and wear before use.
DO Ensure that all hose and plumbing connections are secure.
DO Ensure that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.
DO remove aluminum canister on exhaust filter assembly and check that exhaust filter is firmly seated in

place before startup.

AIR DRIVEN PUMP: (P/N 9850)
DO NOT attempt to service the air pump or air motor while it is in operation, and air source connected.

DO NOT run air motor with less than 75 cfm at 80 psi.
DO NOT run air motor with dirty particulate filter.

DO run air motor with inline lubrication properly filled and adjusted.
DO make sure that the air pressure and volume conforms to the requirements of your equipment.

EXPLOSION PROOF PUMP: (P/N 9833)

DO NOT remove plug or cord from motor. Hazardous location plug and receptacle must be used at all times.
DO NOT place pump’s inlet filter (or extension) in a hazardous location.

DO ensure proper electrical power to motor.
DO ensure proper cooling for electrical motor, to avoid heat sources in a hazardous location.

NOTE: For further information on how to operate Allegro AABA pumps with various NIOSH approved

respirators, please contact our Technical Support Department.

WARNING!

DO NOT run pump without attaching the breathing hose and respirator. Failure to do so may result in a "back
pressure" causing damage and/or stalling the pump.

C.G.A. Grade-D Air Requirements

Oxygen 19.5 - 23.0 %

Hydrocarbons (condensed) in mg/m3 of gas 5 mg/m3 Max.
Carbon Monoxide 10 ppm Max.
Carbon Dioxide 1,000 ppm Max.

No toxic contaminants at levels which would make the air unsafe to breathe.
