Cleaning And Maintenance - 3M Peltor X Series Manual

on the side of the helmet and the sealing cushion.
Storage position (Figure 8)
When the helmet is not in use, lower the ear muffs and press them
inward. Keep the cups clean and dry and store at normal room
temperature.
FIT CHECK
When hearing protectors are correctly worn your own voice should
sound hollow and sounds around you should not sound as loud as
before.
For optimum noise reduction the cushions should form a snug fit
against the head with no interference of the seal by any objects e.g.
respirator headbands or spectacles arms. The cups should
completely enclose the ears. If you are unable to fit these ear muffs
correctly and comfortably contact your Health & Safety professional
or 3M for further advice.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. At the end of each shift the cushions of the ear muffs should be
wiped with a suitable material, for example 3M™ 504 Cleaning
wipes, so they remain clean and hygienic. The product can also be
cleaned using mild detergent and water.
2. If the ear muffs cannot be cleaned or are damaged, dispose of the
