MAINTENANCE
Regular and scheduled maintenance is
essential for the integrity of the equipment.
As well as the pre-use and storage checks
the apparatus must be checked on a monthly
basis, a service should be performed annually
by a qualifi ed service and maintenance
operative.
A regular monthly maintenance schedule is
performed as per the pre-use checks which
includes a thorough visual inspection of all
components.
Carry out a thorough inspection of all
component parts before and after each
occasion of use.
Visor
In everyday use we recommend that visors be
replaced after six months in service.
In heavy industrial applications there is likely
to be deterioration to the visor in a much
shorter period of time.
For occasional use we would anticipate a
service life of about twelve months, providing
the
correct
maintenance
procedures are followed.
Welding Shield
In everyday use we recommend that welding
shields are discarded after 12 months in
service.
In heavy industrial applications there is likely
to be a deterioration of the welding shield in
a much shorter period of time, especially in
the presence of molten metals and hot solids.
For occasional use we anticipate a service
life of about 18 months, providing the correct
maintenance and storage procedures are
followed.
Welding Filter and Clear Lens(es)
We recommend that the welding fi lter and
lens(es) are inspected on each occasion
before use and replaced if damage of any
kind is present.
