Arc Flash Suit Storage, Use, Care, & Maintenance
not folded inwards and are lying flat over top of the
coat. Do not tuck the hood inside of the collar.
•
Double check all closures, sealing any gaps and
inspecting for correctness of fit. Reach your hand
around to the back of the hood and switch the fan
back to "ON" before proceeding to use your arc flash
suit.
HOW TO TAKE OFF (DOFFING)
HOOD
•
Remove hood, turn fan switch to "OFF".
•
Retrieve the suit storage bag; remove the can of Dis-
infectant spray and soft cloth.
•
Holding the can 18" away from the hood surface,
lightly spray the inside of the hood with the Disinfec-
tant being careful to never spray the outside of any
part of the arc flash suit or over spraying creating
pooling on the inside of the hood window.
•
Always avoid spraying the inside of the hood window.
•
Immediately wipe accidental spray off the inside of
the hood window using soft cloth.
•
Place the can of Disinfectant spray and soft cloth
back inside of the storage bag.
•
Place the hood down on a clean surface with the hood
opening facing up, allowing the inside of the hood to
completely dry before storing.
COAT
•
Remove your coat and fold lengthwise before placing
back inside of the storage bag.
•
Proceed to removing the bib-overalls by opening the
cinch straps on the sides and at the ankles, then pull-
ing the suspender straps over your shoulders.
BIB-OVERALLS
•
Find a bare space on a wall or by sitting on a chair,
balance your weight and pull your legs through the
bib-overalls. It is helpful to use your opposite hand to
hold the bottom of the bib-overall pant legs allowing
your work boot to easily pull through. Remember to
point your toes down. If your work boots are ex-
cessively soiled remove them before removing the
bib-overalls.
•
Once the bib-overalls are removed fold them length-
wise and place them on top of the coat inside of the
suit storage bag.
STORAGE
•
Pick up the hood, using the lower flap from the front,
fold up and over the outside of the hood window to
prevent shield damage while being stored.

•
Fold the back of the hood including the fan unit inside
of the hard hat and place the hood into the storage
bag.
•
Zip closed the storage bag and store in a safe dry
location.
INSTRUCTIONS ON STORAGE
•
Use a storage bag or storage locker in a clean dry
environment. Never store with sharp objects, or in
dusty areas.
•
To avoid color fading and loss of strength never store
under direct sunlight or other UV light sources (UVra-
diation does not affect heat and flame protection)
•
Front flap of the hood should be used to protect the
window inside of the storage bag; otherwise hood
•
storage bags are available.
- When placing the hood inside of a storage bag
flip up the front flap to cover the hood shield
window.
•
Recommend folding the arc flash suit coat, bib-overall
or coverall before placing in storage.
•
Be sure all powered components are turned off before
storage including the fan unit and LED lamp.
•
To ensure the hood ventilation system fan does not
turn on while using a storage bag, disconnect the fan
unit from the coupling (turn fan counter clockwise),
open battery storage compartment cover and remove
one battery. Replace the battery compartment cover
and store in a pouch inside of the overall storage bag.
