4 Maintenance and Cleaning
4.1 Maintenance Instructions
To maintain readiness for use, the device must be inspected regularly, checked for
integrity, tightness and, if necessary, cleaned [do not use metal brushes!].
As the device contains a chemical which is sensitive to moisture, it is packed in an
airtight container and is sealed at the factory.
The frequency of inspection depends on the device load [ chapter 4.5].
For used and/or opened devices, the chemical canister must always be replaced,
reuse is not permitted. Internal checks and any repairs to the devies are to be car-
ried out by the MSA Customer Service or authorized service centers.
4.2 Return of Used Device
For return of used or opened devices, observe the following:
- Pack the device and components in the device containers only after they have
cooled down and are dry.
- No organic substances must enter the chemical canisters [e.g. solvents, oils,
etc.].
- Observe transport regulations [ chapter 5].
If the complete device cannot be packed in the container, the following procedure
is required:
- Remove the chemical canister from the device:
(1) Therefor loosen the clamp and remove the breathing bag and breathing tube.
(2) Pack the chemical canister inside the container and seal with the original lock-
ing assembly of the container.
Do not use finely cutted filling material.
- Place the other components of the device with the closed container in a carefully
packed package.
- The components must be complete and undamaged.
