Respirator is broke
After a long absence from the shed I have finally got a start on a little project only to find that my respirator earmuff on one side flaps like a dove with a broken wing.
It will not "click" into the up position or the down.
I have not yet figured out even how to get the thing off the helmet to see what has happened inside.
Does anyone know what is inside these things? The book doesn't show it at all.
Is it likely to be repairable or is it now a throwaway with no parts available?
It is good to be back making some noise and mess again.
Regards
Neil.

from memory on the triton there is a spring that holds the ear muff if you put both up you can wear ordinary muffs . i took mine out as im turning mostly, only put them back when using the thicknesser . they should just click out of the helmet . cheers bob

Thanks Bob, I twisted the arm everywhichaway without success but will try again tomorrow.
I would rather use it with the integral muffs if I can fix it, so will keep trying.
Thanks for your reply.

You may find they are the standard pattern ones and you can buy replacments at any safety shop. I don't know this, but standard hard hats have recepticals for clip on muffs, sun shades and other accessories. The triton LOOKS like a standard hard hat, but I haven't examined it that closely.
