MSA S-Cap-Air Maintenance Manual page 2

Dear Maintenance Specialist,
MSA manufactures respiratory protective equipment for work and rescue.
The staff of MSA conducts courses where participants are trained as „respiratory protec-
tive equipment maintenance specialists" who check the safe functioning of such equipment
through continuous maintenance and testing.
With conducting the maintenance and care of your respiratory protective equipment you
accept a great deal of responsibility. Always think of the possible consequences should the
equipment fail. For this reason, each maintenance specialist should attend a repeat course
as a rule every 3 years.
Another precondition for correct work is that the maintenance shop is equipped with the
necessary measuring and test equipment.
We wish you all the best for your work.
