Preparation for Storage
NOTE: Do not force-dry the parts by placing them in a heater or in direct sunlight. The rubber will deteriorate. When the
facepiece is thoroughly dry, store the facepiece in the plastic bag that it was shipped in.
1. In general, only the facepiece, or a facepiece pouch or container requires cleaning and disinfecting after each use. If
the apparatus is soiled or has dirt accumulation, use a sponge damp with mild soap solution or use a soft/medium
bristle brush to remove deposits that may interfere with normal operation.
a. Ensure the second stage regulator is free of water, dirt, or debris.
2. Inspect the entire apparatus as you reassemble it.
a. Follow the instructions
3. Thoroughly dry the facepiece and regulator after cleaning and disinfecting. The facepiece can trap water, which
could enter the regulator.
7.2
Storage
WARNING!
DO NOT store the respirator near substances that can attack respirator components, causing them to fail to perform as
designed.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
The PremAire CADET Respirator must be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Heat and sunlight will
shorten the life of rubber parts.
7.3
Functional Checks (After Each Use and Monthly)
WARNING!
If the respirator does no function properly for all functional checks as described in this section, the respirator must be
removed from service and the condition must be checked and corrected by an MSA trained and certified repair person
before using.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
1. Check that the facepiece can hold a negative pressure.
a. Sanitize the regulator outlet before and after testing.
b. Check that the cylinder valve and second stage shut-off are closed and the system is not pressurized.
c. Hold the facepiece against the face to create an effective seal. Attach the regulator to the facepiece.
d. Gently inhale and hold your breath for about 10 seconds. If negative pressure is maintained, there is no
leakage.
e. Gently exhale through the regulator outlet for about 10 seconds. If positive pressure is maintained, there is no
leakage.
f. Do not use the apparatus if airflow through the regulator is detected in either test. Return the regulator to a
certified repairperson.
2. Inspect the Regulator
a. Push the release button(s) to ensure the regulator is shut off. If the regulator is equipped with a bypass valve,
ensure that the bypass knob is fully closed (clockwise). Connect the air-supply hose to the inlet to initiate air
flow. No air should flow from the regulator - if it does, this indicates that the regulator needs to be repaired.
b. Attach the regulator to the facepiece and hold the facepiece to the face to create an effective seal. Inhale
sharply to start air flow, then breath normally. Listen to the regulator. The regulator should NOT make any
unusual sounds, such as whistling, chattering, clicking, or rattling.
