How to use

Place the helmet on the head so it sits evenly and covers the forehead. Adjust the internal suspension to obtain a snug fit without pressure points. Fasten and adjust the chin strap so that it remains secure during movement but allows comfortable breathing and swallowing. Before each use, inspect the helmet for cracks, deformations, or damaged components and replace any defective parts. Follow site-specific safety rules and manufacturer instructions when combining the helmet with other personal protective equipment.

Recommendations

Use the helmet for its intended industrial and work-at-height applications only; do not modify the shell or suspension system. Clean the helmet with mild soap and water, and store it away from direct sunlight and chemical exposure. Replace the helmet after a significant impact or according to manufacturer service life guidance to maintain protective performance.
