Inspection, Cleaning, And Storage; Replacement Part Instructions - 3M 6000DIN Series User Instructions

Qualitative Fit Testing
Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT) with the 3M™ Qualitative Fit Test Apparatus FT-10 or FT-30 can be conducted using any of the NIOSH approved
particulate filters.
Respirators should also be fit tested while wearing any personal protective equipment (PPE) the wearer may use in their work environment that may
affect the fit of the respirator (e.g. hoods, hardhats, safety glasses, hearing protections, etc.).
NOTE: For further information concerning fit testing, contact 3M Technical Service at 1-800-243-4630 or a 3M location in your region. In Canada call
Technical Service at 1-800-267-4414.

INSPECTION, CLEANING, AND STORAGE

Inspection Procedure
This respirator must be inspected before each use to ensure that it is in good operating condition. Any damaged or defective parts must be replaced
before use. Do not enter a contaminated area with damaged or defective parts. The following inspection procedure is recommended:
1. Check facepiece for cracks, tears and dirt. Be certain facepiece, especially faceseal area, is not distorted.
2. Examine inhalation valves for signs of distortion, cracking or tearing.
3. Make sure that head straps are intact and have good elasticity.
4. Examine all plastic parts for signs of cracking or fatiguing. Make sure filter gaskets are properly seated and in good condition.
5. Remove exhalation valve cover and examine exhalation valve and valve seat for signs of dirt, distortion, cracking or tearing. Replace exhalation
valve cover.
6. Inspect lens for any damage that may impair respirator performance or vision.
Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning is recommended after each use.
Do not clean respirator with solvents. Cleaning with solvents may degrade some respirator components and reduce respirator effectiveness.
Inspect all respirator components before each use to ensure proper operating condition. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
1. Remove cartridges, filters and/or breathing tubes. The center adapter, lens and faceseal can also be removed if necessary.
2. Clean facepiece (excluding filters and cartridges), 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. Do not use cleaners containing lanolin or other oils.
3. Disinfect facepiece by soaking in a solution of quaternary ammonia disinfectant or sodium hypochloride (1 oz [30 ML] household bleach in 2
gallons [7.5 L] of water), or other disinfectant.
4. Rinse in fresh, warm water and air dry in non-contaminated atmosphere.
5. Respirator components should be inspected prior to each use. A respirator with any damaged or deteriorated components should be repaired or
discarded.
6. The cleaned respirator should be stored away from contaminated areas when not in use.
