CLEANING AND STORAGE
5.1 Facepieces
The rubber used is age resistant and therefore no special care is required for storage, it is advisable, though,
to keep respirators in their original packing and store them away from chemical vapours and heat sources and
preferably at temperatures between -20 and +50 °C.
After use masks and hoods of
AC
respirators shall be cleaned with a soft cloth to remove sweat and condensate.
If they are really dirty, they can be washed with a mild detergent in lukewarm water. The hood and the waist-
coat can be brushed with a soft brush. Special care shall be put in the cleaning of exhale valves which are par-
ticularly likely to wear out and shall be replaced whenever they show signs of deterioration.
5.2 EOD 55 silencer filter
The
EOD 55
shall be frequently replaced, since particles that may be present in the feeding compressed air
can obstruct the filter thus impeding air to flow across.
5.3 AC 95 Flow regulator
The
AC 95
regulator does not require special care. It is enough to clean it with an air jet, particularly before
replacing the filter.
