Care & Maintenance
- Wipe the cushions clean after use.
- Clean cushions with mild soapy water as directed by the product instructions. Do not soak the ear cups or internal foam unless the manufacturer permits it.
- Inspect cushions, foam pads, ear cups, and the headband regularly for wear or damage.
- Replace the earmuffs when worn cushions or damaged components prevent a secure fit.
- Avoid bending or reshaping the headband in a way that loosens the fit.
Safety Tips
- Make sure each ear cup fully surrounds the ear before beginning work.
- Keep hair, thick eyewear temples, caps, or other objects from interfering with the cushion seal.
- Wear hearing protection throughout the full period of loud-noise exposure.
- Inspect the cushions and headband before use and replace damaged or heavily worn earmuffs.
- Select hearing protection appropriate for the work environment and noise level.
- Keep required machine guards installed and properly positioned.
