MAINTAINING THE RESPIRATOR
solution. A soft bristle (not wire)
brush or sponge may be used to
clean the facepiece. Be sure to
clean under the exhalation valve.
f. Disinfect the facepiece and
components by submerging the
facepiece and components for
the recommended time period.
g. Rinse the facepiece and compo-
nents in clean, warm (110°F),
preferably running water. Drain.
If not rinsed thoroughly, cleaning
agent residue may irritate the wear-
er’s skin.
h. The facepiece and components
should be air-dried or hand-
dried with a clean lint-free cloth.
Do not force-dry the parts by plac-
ing them in a heater or direct sun-
light. This will cause the respirator
to deteriorate.
i. After the facepiece is dry,
inspect the facepiece thoroughly
for missing or damaged parts.
Reinstall the exhalation valve
cover. Install the nosecup (if
used) and a new cover lens (if
used). The facepiece may be
stored in a clean storage bag to
protect from contamination until
the next use.
Alcohol should not be used as a
germicide, because it may deterio-
rate the rubber.
5. Use a damp cloth or sponge satu-
rated with Confidence Plus clean-
ing solution or an equivalent solu-
tion to wipe the motor-blower and
battery pack housing and battery
cable clean.
Do not place the motor-blower or
battery pack in any liquid. The blow-
er impeller can be loosened or the
motor shaft can be bent. If the
motor-blower is dropped, check the
housing for cracks. Listen closely to
the motor. If the impeller binds or
rattles, or if air output is reduced,
the entire motor-blower must be
returned to MSA for repair.
6. Clean the support belt. Thoroughly
wash and rinse the support belt in
the Confidence Plus cleaning solu-
tion or an equivalent cleaning solu-
tion. A soft brush or sponge may
be used.
RESPIRATOR STORAGE
The battery pack (P/N 10090978)
should be stored within a temperature
range of 50°-85°F. If the battery pack
has been stored in a "full charged"
condition for more than one week, the
battery pack should be charged until a
full charge is indicated. Higher temper-
atures will shorten battery life. Lower
