G. INSPECTION
Inspect this respirator for defects as described below before and after each use
and at least monthly if not used. Repair as necessary, clean and disinfect after
each use, and store properly to assure that the respirator is maintained in satis-
factory working condition. See section H for repair instructions. Keep a record of
inspection and repair dates, and results.
WARNING
• Do not use the respirator with damaged or improperly operating valves.
• Failure to comply with this warning may lead to personal injury, illness,
or death.
NOTE
If the respirator is equipped with a speaking diaphragm, do not remove it from
the facepiece for inspection.
1. Inspect the facepiece skirt for cuts, gouges, punctures, tears, nicks, and
deterioration from age, heat, or contamination, and the face seal area for
distortion.
2. Inspect the headbands for abrasions, cuts, nicks, loss of elasticity, or dete-
rioration from age, heat, or contamination.
3. Inspect the inhalation and exhalation valves for nicks, cracks, tears, or
creases, and the exhalation valve seat for nicks, cracks, or dents.
4. Check the exhalation valve for proper operation by exhaling through the
respirator and pausing before inhaling. The exhalation valve must close by
itself before inhaling. Replace valves which fail to close.
5. If the respirator is equipped with a speaking diaphragm, inspect it for
holes or tears by holding it up to a light and verifying that no light shines
through.
