EXPLANATORY MARKING DIAGRAM
INSTRUCTION FOR USE AND CARE
This hardhat is in compliance with the terms of the American Standards F1163.
Before using your KASK hardhat, please read the following instruction carefully. It is essential
to use this hardhat properly, as not following the correct procedures could compromise your
safety.
In case an accident occurs, resulting in injury or death and it is due to the incorrect use of
this hardhat, the manufacturer and the retailer decline all responsibility.
This hardhat has been designed, produced and approved so as to ensure optimal protection
during equestrian activities. It should not be used for purposes other than those specified
by the manufacturer.
It is not certified or tested to protect users against the crushing forces that may be sustained
by a horse or other large animal stepping onto the helmet or rolling onto the helmet of its
user.
WEARING THE HARDHAT
As a preventive measure, it is imperative to wear the hardhat during all equestrian activities.
For adequate protection, this hardhat must be worn correctly and adjusted according to the
size of your head; to ensure this, several sizes are available to riders.
Fasten the strap by inserting one buckle in the other until you hear it snap in place (Fig. 2).
Check that the buckle is locked by tugging on it. Adjust the length of the chin-strap to firmly
secure the helmet on your head and avoid the risk of the hardhat being pulled off. Ensure
that the chinstrap is properly adjusted and tightened.
The rubber ring must be positioned at the end of the tape to prevent it dangling.
To be worn correctly, the hardhat should not move either back and forth or sideways (Fig. 1).
To remove the helmet from the head, open the chin-strap by sliding the female buckle
forward (Fig. 2).
Any modification to the proper wearing of the hardhat could compromise the safety of the
rider.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Before and after each use, check the condition of the hardhat inside and outside, as well
as the chin strap.
When you’re not using the hardhat, store it away from direct sunlight and do not expose it
to temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above 50°C (122°F).
Never attempt to repair or modify the hardhat. Following a violent impact, even if the
hardhat shows no visible damage, it must be replaced because the shock-absorbing
material may have exhausted its protective capacity and therefore be unable to serve its
purpose in the event of further impact.
The date of manufacturing appears inside the hardhat, under the inner padding. The
lifespan of this KASK hardhat depends on the care and maintenance it receives, as well as
on the frequency of its use.
TAKE CARE
The protection offered by the helmet depends on the circumstances of the accident; the
wearer of a protective helmet will not always prevent death or long-term disability.
SPECIAL CARE
Clean with neutral soap and water only. Allow to air dry. Never clean with solvents or
chemical detergents (paint thinner, acetone, trichloroethylene, etc.) because they can alter
the characteristics and quality of the hardhat. In general, avoid contact with corrosive or
aggressive substances.
WARRANTY
For service or claims under the warranty, please see your KASK dealer.
KASK agrees to supply the dealer free of charge with a replacement for any defective
component required to repair the hardhat for a period of two years from the date of the
purchase invoice.
The warranty does not apply to:
- non-compliance with the specified use and maintenance.
- repairs or modifications (involving the total or partial disassembly of the hardhat) made by
the user or a company not approved by KASK.
MARKINGS/LABELLING:
The information contained on the inside of the helmet, printed on the label under the
padding, should not be removed for any reason (Fig.3).
