Cleaning
The respirator should be cleaned and sanitized at least weekly, or more often if subjected to heavy use.
Respirators used by more than one person must be cleaned, inspected and sanitized after each use. If not
cleaned contamination may cause illness or disease.
Respirex do not recommend laundering the respirator. When the respirator becomes dirty it should be
wiped with a sponge using warm water and a mild detergent, rinsed and air-dried.
Do not use solvents or strong cleaning and disinfecting agents as these could damage the visor and parts
of the blouse.
Do not get water inside the breathing tubes or in any part of the fl ow control waist belt assembly.
The air supply hose should be cleaned by wiping with a sponge using warm water and a mild detergent,
rinsed and air dried. Do not get water inside the air supply hose.
Storage
The Respirex Supplied-Air Respirator is supplied with a three point
hanging system, there are loops on the head and shoulders that
allow it to be hung on a three point hanging frame. The Respirex
three point hanging frame is designed to allow the respirator to be
hung without distortions to the visor. (Fig. 17.).
If the respirator is to be stored in a box or container it should be
folded so that the breathing air tubes are not twisted and the visor
is not distorted.
Always store the respirator in a dry condition.
The respirator should be hung in a warm room to dry and if there is a
possibility of water or cleaning agent in the air system, air should be
passed through the air system until it is dry.
