Hard Hat
inspection
Inspect the hard hat shell for nicks, gouges, cracks, and any damage
due to impact, rough treatment, or wear.
Remove the headband suspension and optional chin strap from the
hard hat. Inspect the headband suspension for cracks, frayed or cut
crown straps, torn headband and size adjustment slots, loss of pli-
ability or other signs of excessive wear. Check the chin strap for loss
of elasticity, cuts, and cracked hanger clips.
If damage is detected, replace part(s) immediately with Bullard
replacement parts or remove the hard hat from service.
Cleaning
The hard hat shell, headband suspension, and optional chin strap
should be hand cleaned with warm water and mild detergent,
rinsed and air-dried. After cleaning and before reassembling, once
again carefully inspect parts for signs of damage.
Breathing tube
inspection
Inspect the breathing tube for tears, cracks, holes, or exces-
sive wear that might reduce the degree of protection originally
provided. If any signs of excessive wear are present, replace the
breathing tube immediately or remove the respirator from service.
Cleaning
To clean the breathing tube, hand-sponge with warm water and
mild detergent, being careful not to get water inside. Rinse and
air-dry. After cleaning, once again carefully inspect breathing tube
for signs of damage.
Flow Control Valve/
Climate Control Device
inspection
Be sure the hose thread is screwed tightly into the breathing tube
so no air can escape during use. Check the adjustment knob on the
flow control device for cracks and other damage.
Cleaning
To clean, hand-sponge with warm water and mild detergent, being
careful not to get water inside. After cleaning, once again care-
fully inspect flow control valve/climate control device for signs of
damage. If any signs of excessive wear are present, replace the
flow control valve/climate control device or remove the respirator
from service.
air Supply Hoses
inspection
Air supply hose(s) should be inspected closely for abrasions, cor-
rosion, cuts, cracks and blistering. Be sure the hose fittings are
crimped tightly to the hose so that no air can escape. Make sure
the hose has not been kinked or crushed by any equipment that
may have rolled over it.
If any of the above signs are present or any other signs of
excessive wear are detected, replace the hose(s) immediately or
remove the respirator from service.
Cleaning
The air supply hose(s) should be hand-sponged with warm water
and mild detergent, rinsed and air dried. Do not get water inside
the air supply hose. After cleaning, once again carefully inspect air
supply hose(s) for signs of damage.
Storage
After reusable respirator components have been cleaned and
inspected, place them in a plastic bag or an airtight container.
Store the respirator and parts where they will be protected from
contamination, distortion and damage from elements such as
dust, direct sunlight, heat, extreme cold, excessive moisture and
harmful chemicals.
WarNiNg
Only use air supply hoses that are NIOSH approved for
use with the CC20 respirator. Other hoses could reduce
airflow and protection, and expose the wearer to life-
threatening conditions. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions could result in death or serious injury.
CaUtioN
Do not cut or remove the foam that is inside the CC20
Series Airline Respirator breathing tube. The foam helps
reduce the noise level of the incoming air supply. It
does not filter or purify your breathing air. NIOSH has
approved this respirator with the foam in place. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in minor or mod-
erate injury and/or equipment damage.
