PREPARATION FOR USE

Inspection
Ensure that the head harness is always attached to the
helmet at the appropriate points and securely tted to
the head before it is worn.
Before each use the helmet should be inspected for
cracks, cuts or other damage and should be rejected
and disposed of if these are discovered.
Fitting
For adequate protection the helmet must t or be
adjusted to the size of the users head.
Insert the 3 harness holders into the helmet grooves
(See gure 1).
^ It is important that the headbands are properly
tensioned in their attachments.
This product is also approved with the interior rotated
180°.
Helmet adjustment
Adjust the nape strap to t the wearers head correctly.
Once the nape strap has been tightened so that the
helmet sits securely, press the studs into the holes.
The height of the head harness can be set at a choice of
3 vertical height settings for optimum comfort (See
gure 2).
IN USE
The key factors for a helmet's 'in use' life are exposure
to external force, chemicals and ultraviolet (UV)
radiation. Physical and chemical damage are usually
easy to detect, whilst UV radiation damage is harder.
The rate at which radiation gradually breaks down
plastic depends on where and how much the helmet is
used.
The 3M™ Peltor™ Uvicator™ lets you know when to
change your helmet. It is calibrated to detect the amount
of UV radiation received and gradually changes colour
over time.
The 3M™ Peltor™ Uvicator™ changes, clockwise, from
red to white. When the 3M™ Peltor™ Uvicator™ has
turned completely white the helmet has received the
maximum tolerable amount of radiation and must be
replaced.
