4.2.1 Adjusting the helmet position
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to improperly adjusted head straps!
The head straps are part of the helmet's overall cushioning
system. Injuries can occur if they are not adjusted correctly.
►
Tighten the head straps at the rear adjusting ring until they
are optimally tensioned and there is a gap between the
straps and the cushioning element in the helmet shell.
●
Adjust the head straps at the attachment points at the rear
adjusting ring. Make sure that the edge of the open visor
does not impair the field of view. If the fire helmet is to be
worn with a respiratory protective mask, the support ring
should sit approx. 2 cm above the eyebrows to ensure the
mask is correctly sealed around the face.
4.2.2 Adjusting the support ring
1. Pre-adjust the front and rear support rings to the correct
head size (position A: large head circumference, position
B: small head circumference). Select the same position on
both sides.
2. If necessary, attach the spacer between the front adjusting
ring and the front support ring.
4.2.3 Adjustments for daily use
When adjusting the helmet, take into consideration whether a
flame protection hood or respiratory protective mask will be
used.
1. Put on the fire helmet.
2. Close the chin strap.
3. Adjust the length of the chin strap at the quick-release
buckle. Fix the end of the chin strap with the hook-and-
loop fastener. The chin strap should lie evenly under the
chin.
4. Adjust the length of the neck straps using the adjusting
clamps. The neck straps should lie evenly at the neck.
5. Turn the adjusting wheel until the support ring fits snugly
against your head.
4.3 During
use
The helmet does not contain any materials that are known
to cause allergic reactions. In individual cases, however,
allergic reactions could still occur in very sensitive people.
The visors may transfer physical impacts to corrective glasses
and damage them.
Full protection is only achieved when the face protector is
locked into the lowest position.
