STORAGE
Store in a clean, dry area away from the chance of any contamination. Use the respirator storage bag provided with the
facepiece or any other sealable container that will protect the facepiece. Optimum storage conditions are room temperature,
between 50° F (10° C) and 100° F (38° C).
Never store the facepiece with cartridges or filters that have been exposed to contaminants. If cartridges and/or filters are to
be reused, seal them in a separate bag or container.
Do not expose to direct sunlight, chemical pollutants or dust.
Cartridges that have been exposed to contaminants with a low boiling point, and all NIOSH rated R filters that have been
exposed to oil-based aerosols must be discarded at the end of a shift. When discarding contaminated cartridges, facepieces
or components, follow local, state and/or national regulations pertaining to disposal of HazMat and/or other contaminated
articles. Consult your supervisor and/or proper authorities.
Do not expose the respirator to excessive heat (above 140°F [60°C]), moisture or contaminative substances. Do not stack
undue weight on top of the facepiece or components during storage. Such conditions may distort the facepiece resulting in
the inability to achieve a proper fit the next time the facepiece is worn, or may compromise the functionality of the mask's
components.
