Visual Control of the Protective Suit

The protective suit must be checked for irregularities. These include:
 scratches or abrasion points,
 breaks in the suit material
 swollen or brittle material
 and damaged seams.
Visible changes to the outside of the suit material such as slight abrasion and / or slight
discolouration do not impair its protective effectiveness against chemicals.
The discharge of ageing inhibition agents during storage does not impair the quality of the
safety high boots.
Please ensure that when using the ASV (Automatic Switch Valve) none of the internal air supply
hoses are buckled and that they have been securely connected.
5.7.

Maintenance of the Spacer

The spacer does not require maintenance. If the spacer does not work properly, the hose will
need to be replaced. Remove one end of the hose from the end casing and pull the entire hose
out of the hose casing. Replace with a new one.
5.8.

Repair

The repair of suit material, seams or the replacement of zips may only be carried out by MSA or

Before submitting the protective suit for maintenance and/or repair purposes, it must be fully
