Cleaning, Storage And Disposal - 3M BE-10 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Head Suspension
• Examine the head suspension for cracks, tears or other damage. Gently stretch several 2-3 inch sections of suspension elastic and verify that it
recovers to its original length.
Breathing Tube Connection
• Examine the exterior and interior of the breathing tube connection point (near the nape seal). Check that there are no cracks, rips, dents holes,
tears or other damage. Gently attempt to rotate the circular breathing tube connection interface and verify it does not move freely.
Breathing Tube
• Examine the entire breathing tube. Look for tears, holes or cracks. Bend the tube to verify that it is flexible. The breathing tube should fit firmly on
the air source connection.
BE-10BR Relief Valve
• Inspect the valve assembly to ensure all parts are present. There should be a valve cover and valve flap present in the valve holder. Verify the valve
holder is tight in the visor by turning the retaining ring on the back of the valve assembly. There are no user replaceable parts in this assembly.

Cleaning, Storage and Disposal

Cleaning
Follow the hygiene practices established by your employer for the specific contaminants to which the respirator assembly has been exposed to.
• Do not clean hoods with detergents that contain lanolin or other oils since they may soften or distort the visor.
• Do not wipe the visor with strong solvents such as MEK, acetone, or toluene as those may damage or distort the visor.
• Do not soak hoods or components in cleaning solutions or solvents.
• Handling, transportation and disposal of spent canisters or hoods must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. If
contaminated with liquid chemical warfare agents, dispose of the respirator after decontamination in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Failure to properly dispose of spent canisters or hoods contaminated by hazardous materials may result in environmental harm,
sickness or death.
• Misuse may adversely affect respirator performance and result in sickness or death.
A clean cloth or sponge dampened with a mild solution of water and liquid household soap may be used to wipe down the hoods. Air dry inside and
out thoroughly before storage or reuse.
Breathing tubes can be cleaned in a similar manner. If liquid enters the breathing tube, thoroughly dry the tube before storage.
DO NOT:
• Use detergents that contain lanolin or other oils.
• Wipe the visor with strong solvents (e.g. MEK, acetone, and toluene) as this may damage the visor.
• Soak components in liquids.
• Wash in a washing machine or respirator washer.
• User sterilization processes such as ethylene oxide, radiation or steam as they may damage components.
STORAGE
Hang or lay the hood flat for storage. Never fold or crush the visor. The RBE-FIH hood insert should be used to protect the BR-10BR visor during storage.
NOTE: Do not use plastic balls or similar items as an insert as the plastic may interact with the visor material and cause distortions.
• Store in a clean area that is protected from contamination, damage, dirt, debris, physical distortion and direct sunlight.
• Do not store next to furnaces, ovens or other sources of high heat.
• Do not store outside of recommended temperature range (see "Specifications" section).
DISPOSAL
