orifices are located in the crew compartment, and one is located in the drivers compartment.
AIR PURIFIER CONTROL BOX: Contains ON/OFF switch for operation of the VFPS.
M3 HEATERS: Warm the air before it reaches the face pieces. A heater is connected in-line to each M25A1 face piece.
Each heater is individually temperature-adjusted and switched (OFF/ON). Heaters must be turned on when operating the
VFPS in outside temperatures of less than 40°F (4.40C).
