BREATHING TUBE ASSEMBLY
Inspect the breathing tube for cracks or
excessive wear. Check that the fittings are
secured into the hose tightly and aren’t
allowing any air to escape.
Replace the hose as soon as signs of
damage or excessive wear become evident.
Do not remove the foam that is inside the
breathing tube as this helps reduce the
noise levels of the incoming air.
!WARNING!
Air leaks will cause a drop
in air flow through the respirator
helmet resulting in less protection from
contaminants.
AIR SUPPLY HOSE
The air supply hoses should be inspected
for cuts, cracks, blisters and signs of
abrasion. Make sure the fittings are
tightly crimped to the hose so that air
cannot escape. Make sure the hose has
not been crushed or kinked. Replace the
hose immediately if there are any signs
of damage. Do not run water through
the inside of the hose. Check the Quick
Disconnect Couplings and blow down with
a duster gun to remove any sand or dirt
that may jam the coupler.
!WARNING!
Use only the correct hoses by
for this respirator.
STORAGE
After the respirator components have been
cleaned and inspected place them in a
plastic bag or an airtight container. Store
respirator parts away from excessive heat,
dust, cold, moisture or harmful chemicals.
After use hang the respirator up by the
hand strap, this will help keep the inside of
the helmet free of contaminants.
