3.1.1.4 Pre-filter SR 221
The Sundström pre-filter SR 221 is not a protective
element and can never be used as primary protection
or as a substitute for a particle filter. It is designed to
prevent nuisance particles from reaching the filters. This
increases the life span of the primary filter. The pre-filter
holder protects the main filter against handling damage.
3.1.2 Compressed air attachment/Fan unit
When the SR 200 with compressed air attachment SR 307
or fan units SR 500/SR 500 EX or SR 700 is used, the user
instructions for the relevant equipment must be followed.
3.2 Fit the filter in a mask
• Check that you have selected the right filter and that
the use-by date has not been passed. (Specified on
the filter and is valid provided that the filter packaging
is unopened.)
• Check that the filter is in good condition and intact.
• Fit the filter/combined filter in the mask so that the
arrows on the filter point towards the user's face. Care-
fully check that the edge of the filter is in the internal
groove of the filter mounting all around.
• Fit pre-filter SR 221 in the pre-filter holder and press
it into place on the filter.

the pre-filter holder to make it tight. Fig. 18.

is affected.
• Take a deep breath and hold your breath for about
10 s.
If the mask is tight, it will be pressed against your face.

exhalation valves or adjust the straps of head harness.
Repeat the fit check until there is no leakage.

4. Maintenance
Personnel who are responsible for maintenance of the
equipment must be trained and well acquainted with
this type of work.
4.1 Cleaning
Sundström cleaning tissues SR 5226 are recommended
for daily care. If the mask is heavily soiled, use a warm
(up to +40 °C), mild soap solution and a soft brush,
followed by rinsing with clean water and drying in air at
room temperature. If necessary, spray the mask with
70 % ethanol or isopropanol solution for desinfection.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the adapter and filter.
• Remove the covers for the exhalation valves and remove
the membranes (two).
• Remove the inhalation membranes (three).
• Remove the head harness. (Optional – The harness
can be washed, but takes extra time to dry.)
• If necessary, remove the visor. See section 4.4.1.
• Clean as described above. Critical areas are the ex-
halation membranes and the valve seats which must
have clean and undamaged contact surfaces.
• Inspect all parts and replace with new parts as neces-
sary.
• Leave the mask to dry, and then assemble it.
NOTE! Never use solvent for cleaning.
4.2 Storage
The best way to store the mask, clean and dry, is in the
Sundstrom storage box SR 344, storage bag SR 339-1
or SR 339-2. Keep it away from direct sunlight or other
sources of heat.
