Inspection, Cleaning And Storage - Bullard CC20E Manual Del Usuario

Bullard CC20E Series respirators have a limited ser-
vice life. Therefore, a regular inspection and
replacement program must be conducted.
The Bullard CC20E Series respirator and all compo-
nent parts should be inspected for damage or
excessive wear before and after each use to ensure
proper functioning. Immediately replace worn or
damaged components with approved Bullard CC20E
components, or remove respirator from service.
Since respirator use and the quality of maintenance
performed vary with each job site, it is impossible to
provide a specific time for respirator replacement.
This respirator should be cleaned and sanitized at least
weekly, or more often if subjected to heavy use.
Respirators used by more than one person must be
cleaned, inspected and sanitized after each use. If not
cleaned, contamination may cause illness or disease.
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning this respi-
rator or any parts and assemblies. Strong
cleaning and disinfecting agents, and many sol-
vents, can damage the plastic parts.
Hood and Headband
INSPECTION: Inspect the hood material for rips,
tears, or damage from excessive wear. Inspect the
inner neck cuff for elasticity. The respirator's plastic
lens should be inspected for cracks, scratches or
any other signs of damage.
Disassemble the breathing tube from the hood by
removing the nylon clamp. To remove the clamp,
slide the locks sideways in opposite directions.
Remove the headband suspension and optional chin
strap from the hood. Inspect headband for cracks,
torn headband or size adjustment slots, loss of plia-
bility or other signs of excessive wear. Check the
chin strap for loss of elasticity, cuts and cracked
hanger clips.
If damage is detected, replace immediately with
Bullard replacement part(s) or remove the respirator
from service.
CLEANING: Bullard does not recommend laundering
the hood. When the hood becomes dirty, it should
be discarded and replaced. The respirator's plastic
lens, headband suspension, and optional chin strap
should be hand-sponged with warm water and mild
detergent, rinsed and air-dried. After cleaning and
before reassembling, once again carefully inspect
parts for signs of damage.

INSPECTION, CLEANING AND STORAGE

Hard Hat
INSPECTION: Inspect the hard hat shell for nicks,
gouges, cracks, and any damage due to impact,
rough treatment or wear.
Remove the headband suspension and optional chin
strap from the hard hat. Inspect the headband for
cracks, frayed or cut crown straps, torn headband
and size adjustment slots, loss of pliability or other
signs of excessive wear. Check the chin strap for
loss of elasticity, cuts and cracked hanger clips.
If damage is detected, replace immediately with
Bullard replacement parts or remove the hard hat
from service.
CLEANING: The hard hat shell, headband suspension
and optional chin strap should be hand-cleaned with
warm water and mild detergent, rinsed and air-dried.
After cleaning, and before reassembling, once again
carefully inspect parts for signs of damage.
Breathing Tube Assembly
INSPECTION: Inspect the vinyl breathing tube for
tears, cracks, holes, or excessive wear that might
reduce the degree of protection originally provided.
If any signs of excessive wear are present, replace
the breathing tube immediately or remove the respi-
rator from service.
Be sure the quick-disconnect fitting is screwed tight-
ly into the breathing tube so no air can escape
during use. Check the flow control device for cracks
and other damage.
CLEANING: To clean the breathing tube assembly,
hand-sponge with warm water and mild detergent,
being careful not to get water inside. Rinse and air-
dry. After cleaning, once again carefully inspect
breathing tube for signs of damage.
WARNING
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE FOAM THAT IS
INSIDE THE BREATHING TUBE. THE FOAM HELPS
REDUCE THE NOISE LEVEL OF THE INCOMING AIR
SUPPLY. IT DOES NOT FILTER OR PURIFY YOUR
BREATHING AIR.
Air Supply Hoses
INSPECTION: Air supply hose(s) should be inspect-
ed closely for abrasions, corrosion, cuts, cracks and
blistering. Be sure the hose fittings are crimped
tightly to the hose so that air cannot escape. Make
sure the hose has not been kinked or crushed by any
equipment that may have rolled over it.
If any of the above signs are present or any other
signs of excessive wear are detected, replace the
hose(s) immediately or remove the respirator from
service.
CLEANING: The air supply hose(s) should be hand-
sponged with warm water and mild detergent, rinsed
and air-dried. Do not get water inside the air supply
hose. After cleaning, once again carefully inspect air
supply hose(s) for signs of damage.
Storage
After reusable respirator components have been
cleaned and inspected, place them in a plastic bag or
an airtight container.
Store the respirator and parts where they will be pro-
tected from contamination, distortion and damage
from elements such as dust, direct sunlight, heat,
extreme cold, excessive moisture and harmful chem-
icals.
