Maintaining the Escape Hood

MAINTAINING THE ESCAPE HOOD
OSHA regulations (29CFR, Part 1910.134) require that the
user establish a maintenance program. This program must
include cleaning and disinfecting, component inspection,
and replacement of worn or damaged parts. See the parts
list for correct replacement part numbers.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
Depending on the cleaning policy adopted, either a desig-
nated person or the user should clean the apparatus.
ANSI suggests that users should be trained in the clean-
ing procedure. Prepare the apparatus for cleaning and
sanitizing as follows:
WARNING
!
Inspect the apparatus after it has been cleaned and
disinfected. Be careful that you do not breathe or
touch the contaminant in handling the apparatus or its
parts. Use equipment designed to protect you from
the specific contaminant. Failure to follow this precau-
tion may result in exposure to the contaminant, and
cause serious personal injury or death.
1. Make sure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
2. Remove excess contaminant from the apparatus.
3. Unscrew the hose nut and pull the hose fitting out of
the hood inlet.
4. Remove the muffler from the hood.
5. Unscrew and remove the pressure regulator from the
cylinder valve.

6. Untie the retaining cord to open the cylinder carrier
and remove the air cylinder.
7. Add one package of Cleaner Disinfectant Liquid or a
mild cleaning solution to a gallon of warm water (max-
imum temperature 120°F).
8. Submerge the hood and carrier in the cleaning solu-
tion and scrub gently until they are clean.
9. Rinse both hood and carrier thoroughly in plain, warm
water (maximum temperature 120°F), then air dry. If
not rinsed thoroughly, Cleaner Disinfectant Liquid may
irritate your skin.
CAUTION
!
Do not force-dry with heat. Temperatures above 120°F
may distort or damage parts of this apparatus. The
hood is plastic and may be scratched if rubbed with
coarse dry cloth or paper towels.
10. Use a damp cloth or sponge saturated in Cleaner
Disinfectant Liquid to clean the muffler, muffler cover,
diffuser, hood hose, pressure regulator, cylinder valve
and air cylinder clean.
11. When they have dried, reinstall the muffler, diffuser,
and muffler cover in the hood. Ensure that the muffler
cover is installed and pointed up at approximately 45
degrees left or right of center.
