Important
Check regularly that your protective suit is tight and that no parts are missing. Only then it will give you proper
protection!
To avoid electrostatic charging, moisten the outside of the protective suit with water prior to entering explosive
areas and while in such an area keep the suit moist.
Tightness tests should be made at least every six months. The MSA AUER testing equipment for suits and
valves is available for that purpose. If you wish these tests to be carried out for you please contact the
MSA AUER customer service:
