CLEANING & STORING THE RESPIRATOR

40

To clean the mask-mounted regulator

1 Remove the breathing regulator from the facepiece by 

engaging the 

lock tab of the E-Z Flo+ regulator or the 

latch on E-Z Flo C5 regulator 

and rotating the 

regulator one-quarter turn clockwise.

2 Using a sponge or soft cloth and the recommended 

sanitizing or disinfecting cleaner, wipe the external 

surfaces of the regulator.

3 Inspect the inside of the regulator assembly through 

the regulator opening (see 

Figure 4-1

). If excessive dirt 

or soil is present, forward the regulator assembly to 

3M-trained authorized personnel for thorough 

cleaning.

4

 

Engage the 

lock tab or 

latch. Close the 

purge knob by turning it fully clockwise. 

5

 

Using a spray bottle, apply the 

sanitizing or 

disinfecting cleaner to the surfaces of the regulator 

opening and the immediate area around the opening 

(see

 

Figure

 

4-1

). Be sure to cover the internal 

components completely with the cleaning solution.

Figure 4-1   Cleaning the mask-mounted regulator

Follow the user instructions for the cleaner. A specific contact time may be required for sanitizing or disinfecting 

before rinsing.

6 Set the regulator aside for the required contact time prior to rinsing. 

The hypochlorite solution and the aqueous 

solution of iodine require a 2-minute contact time.

7 Using gently running tap water or a spray bottle with drinking water, rinse the regulator inside and out.
8 Shake excess water out of regulator. 

Completely air dry the regulator before use. 

9 If the regulator was disconnected from the air supply for cleaning, reconnect and open the purge valve to remove 

any moisture from regulator spray bar. Close the purge valve.

10 Perform a regulator check after each cleaning by following the steps listed in “

To perform a regulator check

”.

NOTE

When cleaning the regulator, do

 not 

use the following cleaning products:

•

Bleach stronger than a 3% solution in water

•

Solvents such as acetone, paint and lacquer thinner, benzene, or dry-cleaning fluid.

In addition, do 

not

 do the following:

•

“Dunk and slosh”

•

Autoclave or wash in an 

unapproved 

automatic washer

•

Use a vapor degreaser/polisher

TIP

To speed drying of the regulator, gently blow dry with clean, dry breathing air of 30 psig maximum. Do not 

use shop air or any other air containing lubricants or moisture.
