A - how deep the head end up in the head part.
B - how high the hood sits on the head.
Angle adjustment between visor and head harness
C - the angle against the visor. Adjust if the face is too close
to the visor.
D - adjustment of the angle of the headband around the back
of the head.
Width adjustment of the head harness
E - rough adjustment of the width of the head harness.
F - the width of the head harness.
• If necessary, adjust the distance from the visor to the face.
Fig. 12.
• Check and adjust so that the breathing hose runs along your
back and that it is not twisted. Fig. 13.
Airflow deflector
• The airflow can be directed towards visor or face for optimal
comfort. Fig. 14.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
The person who is responsible for cleaning and maintenance
must have suitable training and be well acquainted with work
of this type.
Sundström cleaning wipes SR 5226 are recommended for daily
care. If the equipment is more heavily fouled, use a soft brush
or sponge moistened with a solution of water and dishwashing
detergent or the like. Rinse the equipment and leave it to dry.
Do not soak respirator inlet coverings in cleaning solutions
or solvents.
Do not wipe the respiratory protection inlet coverings with
strong solvents such as MEK, acetone, or toluene as those
may damage or distort materials.
6.2 Storage
After cleaning, store the equipment in a dry and clean place at
room temperature. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. Storage
temperature: from -4°F to 104°F (-20 °C to +40 °C) at a relative
humidity below 90 %.
6.3 Maintenance schedule
Do not use the SR 500 Powered Air-Purifying Respirator with
respiratory protection inlet covering if the respirator fails any
of the requirements of the user inspection and performance
checks. Do not use the respirator until all necessary repairs
have been made and the respirator passes the performance
check. The following schedule shows the recommended
minimum maintenance procedures required in order to ensure
that the equipment is always in functional condition.
