Storage
WARNING!
Do not store equipment that is not explicitly authorized by MSA in or on the helmet. The storage of gloves, wedges,
lights, and other equipment in or on the helmet can dramatically change the protective capacity of the helmet.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
•
Clean the helmet (shell and internal components) after use before storing.
•
Store the helmet in a clean, dry area where it is not exposed to heat, cold, or sunlight.
•
Store the helmet in a proper storage bag (GA3708) and/or in a closed cabinet to avoid extended exposure to cold,
humidity, exhaust fumes, etc.
•
When not in use, store the helmet with the ratchet suspension set to its smallest size.
•
Store the face shield and visor (if applicable) inside the helmet (stowed position).
•
Place the goggles inside the helmet when stored.
•
For long duration storage, fold the nape strap inside the helmet (→
) to prevent distortion of the plastic
headband.
