WARNING
Avoid contaminant entry into the breathing tube, as this will compromise
respiratory protection and could result in death or serious injury. Consult
your local safety professional if you suspect that contaminant has entered
the breathing tube. When cleaning the equipment, do the following:
Ensure water does not enter cartridges. Replace wet cartridges.
DO NOT use gasoline, organic-based solvents, or chlorinated degreasing
fluids (such as trichloroethylene) as they will cause damage.
DO NOT immerse the equipment in water or other cleaning fluid as this may
cause contamination in the breathing tube and blower interior that will be
difficult to remove.
Failure to observe the instructions and warnings in this manual invalidates all
performance statements and approvals for this equipment and could result
in death or serious injury.
Cleaning
Once cartridges have reached the end of their useful life, discard in accordance
with federal, state, and local guidelines, and in conformance with plant safety
regulations.
Use a lint-free cloth moistened in a mild solution of soap and warm water to
clean the outer surface of the equipment.
Consult the CC20/RT Series Tychem Hood User Manual for cleaning instructions
for the hood components.

direct sunlight and sources of direct heat.
