Pull up zipper without unnecessary force, a section
at a time, stretching the zipper with one hand while
slowly pulling up the fastener with the other hand.
Pull fastener toggle only in a plane with the suit sur-
face. Pull toggle as flat as possible.
Attention !
Never force the two zipper halves together through
stronger pulling. A forcible closing may permanently
damage the zipper which could cause it to break
open during use.
4.3 Removing the Protective Suit
If the suit is heavily soiled, a preliminary cleaning
should be done while it is still on the man. This is
done with water and, if necessary, with detergent
additives. Care must be taken that any assistant is
wearing proper personal protective equipment, e. g.,
protective gloves, respiratory protection, protective
clothing.
When removing the protective suit, avoid contact
with the soiled outside of the suit
4.4 Disposal of Contaminated suits
Depending on the chemicals they were exposed to,
contaminated suits must be disposed observing ex-
isting legislation regarding toxic waste.
5 Care and Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
The protective suit must be cleaned after each use.
To do this, remove the valve discs of the suit and
unbutton the back reinforcement. These parts must
be cleaned separately and are fitted back only after
they have been dried.
If the suit is not too badly soiled, it is washed once in
water at +30 °C to which a smooth detergent has
been added. If it is badly soiled the procedure is re-
peated. Following this it is rinsed twice in clear water.
In case other detergents or processes are to be
used, their suitability must be confirmed by the de-
tergent manufacturer.
Afterwards the opened suit is hung up by the boots.
The protective suit and the removed parts must not
be dried in radiant heat (sun-light, radiator). When
using a drying cabinet the temperature must not ex-
ceed +40 °C. After the protective suit has been
cleaned, the zipper must be cleaned separately with
water and a brush or paintbrush removing all foreign
objects like bristles, hairs, threads etc. Never scratch
clean with hard or sharp objects.
5.2 Disinfection
After cleaning, the suit should be disinfected using
e. g.

disinfectant (see Ordering Infor-
mation).
Observe the Instructions for Use of the disinfectant.
5.3 Maintenance
After each use or cleaning and regularly every six
months a pressure/tightness test of the suit, the
mask and the suit valves must be made using the
MSA AUER suit test kit and mask test kit. For further
maintenance work see section 6. The zipper must be
lubricated with a grease pencil or zipper spray after
each cleaning or after half a year’s storage and must
be moved afterwards.
