Notes

Correction captured against the original research: the manual lists TWO OV/AG cartridge part numbers (15-0399-99 and 15-0499-99) and the nuisance odour pad is 35-0799-99 (assembly 35-0699-99), not a 15-0299-99X suffix. Cartridge service life must be pre-determined via a change-out schedule — the filter-loading indicator tells you nothing about gas/vapour life.
