INSPECTION, CLEANING AND STORAGE

using the quick-disconnect fittings.
Inspect all components of this respirator system daily for
signs of wear, tear or damage that might reduce the degree
of protection originally provided. Immediately replace worn
or damaged components with approved Bullard 88E Series
components or remove the respirator from service.
This 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.
Cape
INSPECTION: Remove the cape from the respirator helmet
and inspect it for rips, tears or damage from excessive wear
that might reduce the degree of protection originally provided.
Inspect the inner neck cuff for elasticity.
If you detect any of these signs, replace your cape immedi-
ately or remove the respirator from service.
CLEANING: Machine wash the cape in cold or warm water
using a gentle cycle. Use a mild laundry detergent. Air-dry
only. After cleaning, carefully inspect the cape once again for
signs of damage.
Headband and Chin Strap
INSPECTION: Remove the headband suspension and chin
strap from the inner shell. Inspect the headband for cracks,
frayed or cut crown straps, torn headband or size adjustment
slots, loss of pliability or other signs of excessive wear.
Check the chin strap for loss of elasticity, cuts and cracked
hanger clips.
If damage is detected, replace parts immediately with Bullard
replacement parts or remove the respirator from service.
CLEANING: The headband suspension and chin strap should
be hand-sponged with warm water and mild detergent, rinsed
and air-dried. After cleaning and before reassembling, once
again carefully inspect the parts for signs of damage.
Helmet
INSPECTION: Inspect the helmet and inner shell for nicks,
gouges, cracks, holes and any damage due to impact, rough
treatment or wear.
If damage is detected, replace parts immediately with Bullard
replacement parts or remove the respirator from service.
CLEANING: The helmet, inner shell, and window frame should
be hand- sponged with warm water and mild detergent, rinsed
and air-dried.
After cleaning and before reassembling, once again carefully
inspect the helmet and parts for signs of damage.
Lenses and Window Frame Gasket
INSPECTION: Be sure the plastic inner lens fits securely in the
black window frame gasket. Remove any grit or dust from the
gasket. Be sure the plastic outer lens is installed underneath
the clamps on the back of the outer window frame. Inspect the
window frame gasket closely for cuts, wear or damage that
will prevent a proper seal against the inner faceshield lens or
the helmet window frame.
CLEANING: To clean the lenses, hand-sponge with warm
water and mild detergent, rinse and air-dry.
Breathing Tube Assembly
INSPECTION: Inspect the breathing tube for tears, cracks,
holes or excessive wear that might reduce the degree of pro-
tection originally provided. Be sure the quick-disconnect fitting
is screwed tightly into the breathing tube so air cannot escape.
Be sure the adjustment knob on the flow control device is not
cracked or damaged. Be sure the airflow control device is
screwed tightly into the breathing tube so air cannot escape.
If any signs of excessive wear are present, replace the breath-
ing tube assembly immediately or remove the respirator from
service.
CLEANING: To clean the breathing tube assembly, hand-
sponge with warm water and mild detergent, rinse and air-dry.
Do not get water inside the flow control device orbreathing
tube. After cleaning, once again carefully inspect breathing
tube for signs of damage.
�
WARNING
Do not cut or remove foam that is inside the breathing
tube.The foam helps reduce the noise level of the incoming
air supply. It does not filter or purify your breathing air.
Air Supply Hose
INSPECTION: The hose(s) should be inspected closely for
abrasions, corrosion, cuts, cracks and blistering. Be sure the
hose fittings are crimped tightly to the hose so that air cannot
escape. Make sure the hose has not been kinked or crushed by
any equipment that may have rolled over it.
If any of the above signs are present or any other signs of
excessive wear are detected, replace the air supply hose(s)
immediately or remove the respirator from service.
CLEANING: The air supply hose(s) should be hand-sponged
with warm water and mild detergent, rinsed and air-dried. Do
not get water inside the air supply hose. After cleaning, once
again carefully inspect air supply hose(s) for signs of damage.
Storage

dried and inspected, place them in a plastic bag or an airtight
container.
Store the respirator and parts where they will be protected
from contamination, distortion and damage from elements
such as dust, direct sunlight, heat, extreme cold, excessive
