OVERVIEW
SAFETY NOTICE
Warning:
Read these instructions carefully before using the helmet.
For adequate protection, this helmet must fit or be adjusted to the size of the user’s head.
Inappropriate use, maintenance or servicing can affect the function of the helmet and can
seriously endanger the user’s life. The helmet’s operability must be checked and verified before
each use. The helmet is not to be used if the operability test is unsuccessful, if the helmet is
damaged, if proper servicing or maintenance has not been made, or if PAB Akrapović original
spare parts have not been used.
The length of the useable life of this helmet will be affected by the types of materials used in its
construction and the environments in which the helmet is used and stored. Recommendations
on this topic should be sought from the manufacturer.
The intended protection provided by the helmet can only be ensured when it is properly
assembled and correctly fitted. Any removable part must not be worn separately.
When fitted with another item of personal protective equipment or with an accessory (other than
as supplied by the helmet manufacturer for use with this helmet) a helmet marked as complying
with EN 443 might no longer satisfy all clauses of the standard. Refer to information provided by
the helmet manufacturer.
The helmet provides protection of the head and face against shock, sharp objects, splatters of
corrosive chemicals (Sulphuric acid, Sodium hydroxide, p-Xylene, Butan-1-ol, n-Heptane), molten
metals, radiating heat, flames, electric current. The user’s protection is not guaranteed in
situations where the conditions exceed those described in the specifications above.
This helmet complies with the retention requirements of standard EN 443:2008, only when the
chin strap supplied by PAB Akrapović is worn and adjusted in accordance with these
instructions.
The helmet absorbs the energy of a blow by partial destruction of, or damage to, the helmet.
Even though such damage may not be readily apparent, any helmet subjected to severe impact
should be replaced.
Replace any damaged parts only with original PAB Akrapović parts, as only these original parts
are authorised and ensure the performance of the helmet.
