Decontamination / Cleaning - Maxair CAPR User Instructions

26. Decontamination / Cleaning

CAUTION
Do not immerse the battery, helmet and fan module into water or other liquid. This will cause irreparable damage to
the helmet.
Do not use solvent or alcohol to clean the helmet. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to clean the Helmet. However,
repeated long term use of isopropyl alcohol may deface the Helmet.
Do not subject helmet to any sterilization cycles.
Do not use organic solvents or strong oxidizing agents to clean the helmet.
The air channels should never need cleaning. If they do, the Filters are not being maintained properly or replaced at
the appropriate intervals.
If other cleaning agents are to be used, it is recommended to test their use on a small section of one DLC Lens and/
or a small section of the Helmet Liner to determine short and long term side effects.
It is not recommended to disconnect the Power Cord from the Helmet. The Power Cord should be decontaminated
and cleaned as part of the Helmet.
