8.5 Replacing the inner collar
The inner collar is important in ensuring the air circulation inside the helmet and preventing the ingress of
dust. To replace or wash the collar, it must be detached from the cape (see 9.4 for washing instructions).
The inner collar must be replaced if it no longer fits snugly round the neck.
8.6 Replacing the lens frame
The lens frame must be replaced if the seal is no longer guaranteed or the rubber latch no longer remains
closed. The sound insulation inside the helmet should also be replaced when replacing the lens frame.
8.7 Replacing the chin strap
Replace the chin strip when it becomes worn.
8.8
Replacing the air line
The screws on the helmet and the control valve are secured with double-sided adhesive tape to prevent
them from being loosened unintentionally. They should be resecured when the air line is replaced.
Tape should be placed around the screws and valves approx. 2 mm from their bottom end (three quarters
of the circumference is sufficient).
9 Servicing / Cleaning
Do not use aggressive chemicals or solvents to clean the equipment. This may irritate or harm the
operator and alter the properties of the material used.
9.1 Filter
The filter (foam) is inside the control valve. It must be removed when it becomes soiled. Use a small
screwdriver to prise off the snap ring and remove the screen filter and the soiled foam filter. Reassemble
the components in reverse order.
9.2 Nylon cape
The cape can be machine-washed in warm water using a mild detergent. It can be dried in a tumble dryer
at the lowest temperature setting. Do not dry clean. See 8.4 for how to detach the cape.
