CLIMBING HELMET
A GENERAL
Please read these instructions thorough-
ly before using this product and follow all
the information contained within. Failure to
observe these instructions can lead to a reduc-
tion in the protection this product provides.
The product is a mountaineering helmet,
primarily designed for impact protection
against rock fall and offering protection to
climbers during a fall. It is essential that you
familiarise yourself with this product before
using it for the first time.
Please note: mountaineering and climb-
ing are dangerous sports which may lead
to unforeseable risks. You are personally
responsible for every action and decision
you take. You should acquaint yourself
with the related risks before undertaking
these activities. SALEWA recommends
that you seek proper training from pro-
fessionals (such as mountain guides or
climbing schools) before undertaking any
mountain-related activity. It is important
to become familiar with rescue operations
and how they are carried out safely and
correctly. The manufacturer declines any
responsibility in case of improper or wrong
use. Make sure all the components in your
protection equipment are certified.
B INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The correct use is shown in diagram B.
WARNING: We have not shown all possible
misuses.
ADJUSTING THE HELMET
Warning: A helmet can only provide opti-
mum protection if it is properly and cor-
rectly fitted to match your individual head
size and shape. If this is not the case, DO
NOT USE THE HELMET. Swap it for another
size or another model. A helmet that does
not properly fit your head, or which is too
loose, will significantly impair the helmet's
protective capability.
Illustration 1 - Adjusting helmet fit to your
head size:
System with adjusting wheel:
First, expand the headband to its maxi-
mum dimensions via the adjustment wheel
(turn anti-clockwise) and put the helmet
on. Then turn the wheel clockwise until the
headband sits snugly to your head. To get
the perfect fit, you can slide the headband
vertically up or down at the back.
System with adjustable band:
Loosen both tension straps around the
forehead to their fullest extent and put the
helmet on. Then, pull the tension straps
closed until the headband sits snugly but
comfortably on your head. For optimum
positioning, you can slide the headband
vertically up and down at the back.
Illustration 2 – Adjusting the chin strap: The
chin strap should sit at the sides of your
head and is fastened with the buckle under
your chin. For a snug and comfortable fit,
the strap length can be adjusted under
your chin. To position the strap properly
at the sides of your head, shift the divider
and adjust the strap length to fit your head
shape so that the strap sits below your ears
on both sides. The straps must not cover
your ears. When the buckle is closed, the
chin strap should not apply any pressure on
your Adam's apple.
Illustration 4 – Magnetic catch: To lock:
bring both parts of the catch together so
that they lock in place against each other. A
loud click informs you the magnetic catch is
locked. To open: hold the end of the bottom
part of the catch tightly and pull it firmly
away from the upper part.
Plug buckle: To close: Push both buckle
ends one into another so that they slot
together. The plug buckle closes with a loud
click. To open: Press the buckle laterally.
Illustration 5 – Function test: When the chin
strap is fastened and the headband is flat to
your head, ensure that the helmet is sitting
level horizontally and that it cannot slip
forwards or backwards.
If the helmet slips too far forwards, slide
the divider backwards. If the helmet slips
too far backwards, slide the divider towards
the front.
Ensure that the buckle has closed correctly.
C SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before use, carefully check each product
part. Diagram C
Always check the condition of your helmet
first before using it. Check all straps, attach-
ment parts and make sure that the adjust-
ment elements on the headband function
properly.
Make sure that the helmet shape is not
deformed and that there is no other visible
damage.
WARNING: Please note that your helmet
has been designed to absorb the maxi-
mum amount of force during impact. This
is effected by the helmet deforming, which
can cause it to incur damage or be rendered
unfit for use. However, such damage is not
always visible to the naked eye.
For this reason, the helmet must be
replaced immediately following any signifi-
cant impact. Examples of such impact are a
climber fall or as a result of rock or ice fall,
even if no damage is visible.
The same is also true for helmets with Multi
Impact qualities.
Extreme temperatures (below -20°C/-4°F
and above +35°C/95°F), cleaning materials,
hydrocarbons and paint, solvents, adhe-
sives/glues or stickers can all alter the
physical characteristics of the helmet, and
therefore may only be used with the manu-
facturer's instructions or approval.
WARNING
·If you are in the least bit suspicious as to
the product's saftey, you should replace it
immediately.
D LIFESPAN
The lifespan of the product is dependent on
a number of factors, such as the manner and
frequency of use, UV exposure, moisture,
ice, affects of weather, storage conditions,
and dirt (sand, salt, etc.). Under extreme
conditions, the lifespan can be reduced to
a single usage, or even less, if the equip-
ment has suffered damage (for example
during transport) before ever being used.
Please note: Products manufactured from
synthetic fibres are subject to ageing even
when not used. This ageing depends mainly
on environmental conditions as well as the
impact of UV light.
SALEWA explicitly recommends replacing
any safety equipment (PSA/PPE equipment)
after a maximum of 10 years from the date
of production, regardless of whether the
product has been used regularly or not.
E STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND CARE
See diagram E for guidelines on correct
storage and care.
Storage
You should store your helmet somewhere
dry, cool and well ventilated, away from
direct sunlight. Avoid storing the helmet
near any heat sources, nor anywhere where
it is exposed to direct or persistent UV
rays or extreme temperatures. Ensure that
your helmet never comes into contact with
aggressive chemicals such as battery acid,
solvents or salt.
Cleaning and maintenance
Heavy soiling on your helmet can be
washed off with mild soap but do not use
any chemical cleaning products or solvents.
Rinse your helmet thoroughly after clean-
ing and dry it all over with a towel. Do not
carry out any repairs or modify your helmet
yourself. Any improper modifications you
make to your helmet can adversely affect
its protective capabilities. If you have any
questions regarding replacement parts for
your helmet, please contact your SALEWA
specialist dealer.
When maintaining, cleaning and disinfect-
ing your helmet, only use products which
are safe for both the product and its intend-
ed user.
Transport
Protect your helmet from any mechanical
wear or damage, solar radiation, chemicals
or dirt. The best approach is to get a pro-
tective bag for your helmet and/or a special
storage and transport container. Your hel-
met is delivered in a robust box which can
be used for this purpose.
