During use

Move both eye shield levers evenly and carefully when
swinging the eye shield in front of the eyes.
3.5
After use
Check serviceability as follows:
z
Check helmet shell, internal helmet components, chin strap
and accessory. Replace damaged parts.
z
Check visors. In case of visible damages or vision
impairments (e. g. scratches, discolouring or dirt), the
visors should be replaced.
z
Check painted surface of the fire helmet for damage.
The self-extinguishing special paint system is an important
factor for the thermal performance of the fire helmet. If the
paint is damaged, it may shorten the service life of the
helmet. Superficial paint damage or small surface
scratches do not reduce the protective effect. These can be
repaired with touch up paint.
NOTICE
When the helmet is delivered, the position of the eye
shield is generally correct. The position of the eye
shield is adjustable to accommodate corrective
glasses or distinct facial features. This adjustment
creates more space between face and visor.

NOTICE
The helmets of the series Dräger HPS 7000 do not
feature materials known to cause allergic reactions. In
some cases, highly sensitive persons may still
experience reactions.
The visors may transfer physical impacts to corrective
glasses and damage them.
CAUTION
Move eye shield levers carefully. Jerky contact of the
eye shield with the nose may lead to injuries.
CAUTION
If the fire helmet absorbs the energy of an impact, it
may become damaged or unfit for use. Even if damage
is not immediately visible, the fire helmet must be
replaced after a severe impact or shock. Damaged
helmets or those exposed to impact may not be used.
This applies even if no external damage is visible.
Fire helmets that may not be reused or repaired are to
be rendered unusable for safety reasons.
Trained personnel or Dräger may check whether the
fire helmet is reusable with damage or should be
repaired.
