CLEANING & STORING THE RESPIRATOR
46 P/N 595360-01 Rev G 202004
To perform a regulator check
1 Make sure the respirator cylinder is at least 1/2 full to prevent the Vibralert from initiating and obscuring the
sound of air flowing from the regulator.
2 Verify that the air saver/donning switch is depressed on the E-Z Flo+ regulator or the auto air-saver switch is
engaged on the E-Z Flo C5 regulator latch.
3 Close the purge knob.
4 Reattach the regulator to the respirator (if removed for cleaning).
5 Slowly open the cylinder valve at least 1 full turn.
6 If you hear air flowing from the regulator, close the cylinder valve and repeat steps 2 through 5. If you still hear air
flow, close the cylinder valve fully, tag the unit for repair, and remove it from service.
7 Open the purge valve and observe the air flow from the regulator spray bar. Droplets of water indicate the
regulator is not dry. Dry the regulator according to step 8 of “ To clean the mask-mounted regulator ” on page 44
and repeat the regulator check.
NOTE
The regulator check is not intended to be a complete functional check of the respirator. Before your next
use of the respirator, perform a regular operational inspection as described in “
Chapter 1: Inspecting the
Respirator
” on page 11.
NOTE
If the cylinder is 1/3 full or less, the Vibralert will initiate. If the Vibralert does not initiate, tag the unit for
repair and remove it from service.
