Care, Maintenance and Storage

4.1

Cleaning

Strictly adhere to the cleaning instructions in this section to prevent adverse effects on the materials
used in the SRL. Clean the SRL periodically with a clean damp (not wet) cloth to remove dirt or contam-
ination which may cause corrosion, hamper operation, or diminish readability of the labels.
To remove oil or grease, use a mild laundry detergent. Do not use chemicals, harsh detergents, abra-
sives, or pressure washers. Never immerse the SRL in water or other liquid. Excessive accumulation
of dirt, paint or other foreign matter may prevent proper function of the SRL, and, in severe cases,
weaken the line.
Contact MSA with questions concerning product conditions and cleaning. Some environments may
require the SRL be disinfected. Contact MSA for aid in determining the proper disinfection procedure
for the specific application.
4.2

Maintenance and Repairs

Tag damaged equipment or equipment needing maintenance as "UNUSABLE" and remove from
service. Repair and maintenance (other than cleaning) must be performed by an MSA authorized
service center. Moving parts of snaphooks and carabiners may require periodic lubrication with low
viscosity penetrating oil. Follow lubricant manufacturer's instructions. Do not over-lubricate. Wipe
excess with a clean, dry cloth.
Canadian standard CSA Z259.2.2-17 requires that the manufacturer, or manufacturer approved agent,
inspect and perform maintenance on all SRLs and SRL-Rs two (2) years after date of manufacture and
annually thereafter.
4.3

Transportation

Protect the line at the nozzle during transportation to prevent damage. Secure the SRL housing and
snaphook from movement when possible.
4.4

Storage

Store the SRL in a cool, dry and clean place out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where heat, moisture,
light, oil, and chemicals or their vapors or other degrading elements may be present. Never allow SRL
to rest for lengthy periods of time on concrete or ash floors as lime sulfur and ash can cause corrosion.
Store the SRL with line fully retracted.
Equipment which is damaged or in need of maintenance should not be stored in the same area as
usable equipment. Heavily soiled, wet, or otherwise contaminated equipment should be properly main-
tained (e.g. dried and cleaned) prior to storage. Prior to using equipment which has been stored for
long periods of time, a formal inspection should be performed by a competent person.
