Cleaning And Storage - 3M Secure Click HF-800 Series User Instructions

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Failure to follow these instructions may reduce respirator performance, expose you to contaminants above the OEL, and may result in
sickness or death.
• DO NOT clean respirator with solvents. Cleaning with solvents may degrade some respirator components and reduce respirator
effectiveness.
• DO NOT clean the facepiece using a clothes washing machine, which allows the respirators to tumble while being washed. This could
damage the facepiece.
Cleaning
Cleaning is recommended after each use.
1. Remove cartridges and/or filters. The head harness, exhalation valve, inhalation valve, and speaking diaphragm (if applicable) can also be
disassembled if necessary.
2. Clean facepiece (excluding filters and cartridges), with 3M™ Respirator Wipes 504 (not to be used as the only method of cleaning) or by
immersing in warm cleaning solution, water temperature not to exceed 120°F (49°C), and scrub with soft brush until clean. Add neutral detergent
if necessary.
3. Ensure the cartridge/filter connection area is free of debris (Fig. 16). Use a cloth or soft brush to reach this area and/or move facepiece back and
forth quickly while immersed in cleaning solution.
4. Disinfect facepiece by soaking in a solution of quaternary ammonia disinfectant or sodium hypochlorite (1oz. [30 mL] household bleach in 2
gallons [7.5 L] of water), or other disinfectant.
5. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air dry in non-contaminated atmosphere.
Storage
The cleaned respirator should be stored away from contaminated areas when not in use.
Respirator Washer
A respirator washer can be used to clean the HF-800 Series respirator. Respirator washers have a rack designed to hold the respirator in place during
washing. DO NOT use a clothes washing machine, which allows the respirators to tumble while being washed. This could damage the respirator.
Water temperature should not exceed 120°F (49°C).
This product contains no components made from natural rubber latex.
In Brazil, according to the Respiratory Protection Program of the Ministry of Labor, do not use when concentrations of contaminants are greater than
10 times the permissible exposure limit in air-purifying mode.
Cartridge and Filter Selection and Approvals
Before using any of these products, the user must read and understand the specific Use For, Use Limitations and Warning information in the cartridge
or filter User Instructions and product documentation or call 3M PSD Technical Service. Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by
local regulatory agencies.
Failure to properly dispose of spent cartridges, filters, or respirators contaminated by hazardous materials can result in environmental harm. Handling,
transportation and disposal of spent cartridges, filters, or respirators must comply with all applicable federal, state, provincial, and local laws and
regulations.
Service Life of Chemical Cartridges and Particulate Filters
3M™ Cartridges D8000 Series should be used before the expiration date on cartridge packaging. The useful service life of these cartridges will
depend upon the activity of the wearer (breathing rate), specific type, volatility and concentration of contaminants and environmental conditions such
as humidity, pressure, and temperature. Cartridges must be replaced in accordance with an established change schedule, regulations, or earlier if
smell, taste or irritation from the contaminant is detected.
Particulate filters must be replaced if they become damaged, soiled or if increased breathing resistance occurs. N-series filters should not be used in
environments containing oils. R-series filters may be limited to 8 hours of continuous or intermittent use if oil aerosols are present. In environments
containing only oil aerosols, P-series filters should be replaced after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever is first.
