See Fig. 3a-3h
6. Adjustments
6.1 Neck strap
The safety helmet can be adjusted to the
circumference of your head by turning the neck strap
adjuster (Fig. 2 / Item 5). Turning it clockwise will
reduce the circumference, turning it anti-clockwise
will increase the circumference. Only use the helmet
after it has been adjusted correctly.
To achieve the correct adjustment of the safety
helmet at maximum circumference, place it on your
head so that the 4-point strap (Fig. 2 / Item 6) is taut
on your head. Turn the neck strap adjuster clockwise
to tension the neck strap until the helmet sits
securely on your head without causing pressure.
6.2 Ear protection
The height and position of the ear protectors can be
adjusted. The height can be adjusted by sliding the
ear protection capsules (Fig. 4a). Their position can
be changed by turning them (Fig. 4b). To make it
easier to put the helmet on and take it off, the ear
protectors can be moved out of the way. If the
tension weakens, it can be adjusted by sliding the
ear protector adjuster (Fig. 4c/Item 4) towards the "+"
sign. The tension will be reduced if it is moved
towards the "-" sign.
6.3 Visor
The distance between your face and the visor can be
adjusted by moving the visor in the visor mounting as
shown in Fig. 5. If necessary the visor can be moved
out of the way by pulling it upwards.
6.4 Height adjustment
The height of the neck strap can be adjusted. To set
the required height, securely fit the retaining element
(Figure 6/Item A) to either the bottom position (Figure
6/Item B) or the top position (Figure 6/Item C).
Important: The retaining element must always be
set to the same height on both sides.

7. Cleaning, storage and ordering of
spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
Clean the helmet at regular intervals using
lukewarm water and a little lubricant soap. Do
not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic.
Clean and disinfect the ear protector at regular
intervals with a damp cloth. If you detect signs of
wear, the complete ear protector must be
replaced by a new one.
Clean the visor at regular intervals using
lukewarm water and a little lubricant soap or
blow it out with compressed air.
7.2 Storage
Do not store the helmet in extremely hot
environments where it may be exposed to UV
radiation. This may reduce the service life of the
plastic. Store the helmet in a cool dark place
when it is not in use.
When the helmet is in storage, keep the ear
protectors in working position and make sure that
the sealing rings are not squashed. If the sealing
rings are under permanent strain, this will reduce
their effectiveness.
7.2.1 Lifespan
Due to aging of its materials, the helmet may be
used for no more than 5 years after manufacture.
The date of manufacture is indicated on the helmet
(Figure 7).
D = Month of manufacture
F = Year of manufacture (for example 2009)
