1.7.1 Cleaning, Disinfecting, Drying (A)
Refer to manufacturer's instructions when using and disinfecting agents. Attention must be paid to concentration and reaction times. Do not use organic solvents, such as Acetone, White Spirit,
Trichloroethylene or similar. Do not immerse the apparatus in water and after cleaning, dry it thoroughly before storage. For every component of the apparatus, follow the instructions below:
- Clean the Back frame, the shoulder straps, the waist belt and the cylinder holding Velcro webbing using a brush or sponge moistened with warm soapy water. Afterwards rinse thoroughly with
fresh water and leave it dry thoroughly in clean air away from direct heat and sunlight
- Clean the Cylinder, cylinder valve, first & second stage valve reducer using a wet cloth moistened in hot water. Afterwards wipe it with a dry cloth.
- Clean the face piece following the next steps:
Step 1:
Clean the face piece thoroughly with warm fresh water (maximum temperature 43ºC) and Neutral soap.
Step 2:
Rinse the mask thoroughly with fresh water.
Step 3:
Afterwards shake the mask to remove the remaining amount of water. Dry thoroughly the face piece by wiping it with a cotton cloth or clean gauze (Important notification: Do not use
ginned cotton)
To clean the Face Mask & sealing edge follow the next steps:
Step 4:
Use a cotton cloth moistened in 70% isopropyl alcohol to wipe and disinfect the mask & sealing edge.
Step 5:
Leave it in clean and dry air away from direct heat and sunlight for the alcohol to evaporate.
d) Cylinder:
In case the cylinder's remaining filling pressure is less than 80% of the rated filling pressure (
≤
240bar), open the cylinder holding Velcro webbing and unscrew hand-
wheel connector until the cylinder is disassembled from the apparatus. Mark the cylinder as empty or half load and send it for charging. Cover the first stage Regulator with its
rubber protection cover (Figure 2 & Figure 24). A new fully charged Lalizas cylinder (either a 6L 300bar or a 9L 300bar) can be assembled on the apparatus by just adjusting the
cylinder holding Velcro webbing. To assemble the cylinder on the apparatus place it in the cylinder holding Velcro webbing, remove the rubber protection cover from the first stage
Regulator, align and assemble the cylinder valve thread with the first stage regulator hand wheel. Fasten the cylinder with the cylinder holding Velcro webbing (Figure 25).
