Cleaning and care
Only clean the helmet shell and lining with lukewarm soapy water.
The helmet lining can also be treated with disinfectant (e.g. Heliosept
Medical Spray). Do not use solvents.
The integrated visor should also only be cleaned with lukewarm water
and soap, then rinsed and wiped dry.
For cleaning the visor, an alcohol-free glass cleaner can be used. Proper
cleaning, care and treatment of the protective helmet as well as its visor
is a prerequisite for its proper function.
Changes to the helmet
WARNING: The standard version of your helmet complies with the
applicable standards and may therefore not be changed or equipped with
third-party components and accessories of any kind. Incorrect or third-party
linings, subsequent drilling of holes for accessories or other changes to the
safety helmet impair the protective function and lead to its approval expiring.
Only accessories suitable for the SCHUBERTH F220 may be used. In case of
doubt, please contact SCHUBERTH directly.
Service life – Firefighter helmet
This helmet's service life is influenced by the type of material(s) used in
its construction, as well as the environment in which the helmet is used
and stored (according to EN 443: 2008). The F220 with a painted helmet
shell made of advanced, high-temperature-resistant thermoset material
(High-Temp-Fibre) has an excellent ageing resistance and is not subject to
any changes due to sunlight (UV radiation). The lifetime of these helmets is
limited mainly by mechanical, thermal and chemical influences. Thermosets
(such as the High-Temp-Fibre used) are generally considered to be very
resistant to these stresses.
With regard to their ability to withstand weather-related, chemical and ther-
mal effects, they are significantly more effective than thermoplastic materials.
