NOTE: Unless otherwise stated all cleaning and
disinfecting should be done in accordance to OSHA
Regulation 29 CFR-134 App. B-2.
CAUTION
Follow washing instructions as described in
this section. Do not use any caustic chemicals
or solvents that may be irritating or harmful to
the user, or which change the properties of the
materials used in any part of the respirator.
8.1 Outer Cape
8.1.1 See Section 9.4 for removal and installation
instructions.
8.1.2 Machine wash in warm water with mild
detergent. Dry in a clothes dryer at the lowest
temperature setting. Do not dry clean.

8.2.1 The removable inner collar should be frequently
washed to remove build-up of dirt that accumulates from
normal perspiration and air moisture. For general
hygiene, daily washing is recommended.
8.2.2 The inner collar may be either washed or
replaced separately or with the outer cape. To wash
separately, unzip the collar and machine wash in warm
water with mild detergent. Tumble dry in a clothes dryer
at the lowest temperature setting. Do not dry clean.
8.3 Suspensions
8.3.1 Web Suspension with Sweatband
8.3.1.1 Refer to Section 9.3.1 for removing and

8.4 Helmet Assembly
8.4.1 The helmet assembly should be wiped clean
with a cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Do
not immerse the helmet in water. While this will not
permanently damage the helmet, it will require an
extended drying period.

when donning and removing the respirator and when
changing lenses. Vacuum the inside of the helmet to
remove any abrasive.

becomes soiled, it can be wiped with a damp cloth or
pulled off and replaced.
8.5 Disinfecting

disinfects it. Additional disinfecting may be done before
and/or after use by wiping the surfaces with a
commercial disinfecting wipe or spray.
