CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Use a cloth wetted with soap and warm water to clean the outer
shells, headband and ear cushions.
NOTE: Do NOT immerse the hearing protector in water.
If the hearing protector gets wet from rain or sweat, turn the
earmuffs outwards, remove the ear cushions and foam liners,
and allow to dry before reassembly. The ear cushions and
foam liners may deteriorate with use and should be examined
at regular intervals for cracking or other damage. When used
regularly, 3M recommends replacing the foam liners and ear
cushions at least twice a year to maintain consistent attenuation,
hygiene, and comfort. This is also suggested by CSA. If an ear
cushion is damaged, it should be replaced. See Spare Parts
Section below.
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE EAR CUSHIONS
F:1 To remove the ear cushion, slide your ngers under the
inside edge of the ear cushion and rmly pull straight out.
F:2 Remove existing liner(s) and insert new foam liner(s).
F:3 Fit one side of the ear cushion into the groove of the earcup
and then press on the opposite side until the ear cushion snaps
in place.
