P/N 595360-01 Rev G 202004 49
7 Inspect the soft goods and rewash them if necessary.
Drying the Shoulder Harness and Waist Pad
3M recommends air-drying the shoulder harness, waist pad, and straps. Machine drying — even using the dryer’s “air
dry” or “no heat” setting — is not recommended.
To dry the shoulder harness and waist pad
1 Air dry the shoulder harness and waist pad by hanging them in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
2 Be sure to dry the soft goods thoroughly before storing.
CAUTION
In accordance with NFPA 1851, if the washing machine is also used to clean items other than protective
garments or fire-fighting equipment, rinse the machine before and after use by completing a full wash cycle
without laundry but with detergent and the maximum amount of water. Select a water temperature between
49 and 52 degrees C (120 to 125 degrees F).
CAUTION
Do not machine dry the shoulder harness, waist pad, and straps — even using the dryer’s “air dry” or “no
heat” setting. Excessive heat during drying can damage the material and cause shrinkage.
CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the material of your shoulder harness and waist pad.
CAUTION
Storage of wet or moist soft goods promotes the growth of mildew and bacteria, which can degrade the
integrity of your equipment and also cause health issues.
