CLEANING AND DISINFECTING THE TRAINER
Do NOT use alcohol as a germicide because it may
deteriorate the nosecups.
MSA recommends cleaning the Safe Escape Trainer
between each user and after each training session.
Cleaning the Safe Escape Trainer
For thorough cleaning, non-sudsing Confidence Plus
Cleaning Solution (P/N 10009971) from MSA is recom-
mended. It is a germicidal cleaner that cleans and disin-
fects in one operation. It retains its germicidal efficiency in
hard water to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It will not
deteriorate rubber, plastic, or metal parts. Refer to the
label for use instructions. A solution as effective as
Confidence Plus Cleaning Solution and compatible with
MSA respirator components may be substituted. ANSI
suggests that users be trained in the cleaning procedure.
DOFFING
When using the Safe Escape Respirator, be careful not
to breathe or touch the contaminant in handling the
respirator or its parts. If necessary, use equipment
disposal to protect you from the specific contaminant.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious per-
sonal injury or death.
1. Preparing Solution
a. Follow the instructions with the Confidence Plus
Cleaning Solution.
b. If the Confidence Plus Cleaning Solution is not
used, wash in a mild cleaning solution, rinse thor-
oughly, and submerge in a germicide solution for
the manufacturer's recommended time.
2. Clean and Disinfect the Facepiece

the cleaning solution. A soft brush or sponge can
be used to clean the soiled facepiece.
