All activities must be logged. Only specialists authorized by
ROSENBAUER, may carry out fundamental maintenance
and servicing work, not described in this user information.
Before and after every use, each element of the helmet as-
sembly must be inspected carefully for cleanliness, tears,
cracks, holes and any physical damage. In the case of un-
usual damage (loads) on the helmet shell, the interior har-
ness, the chinstrap or other parts, these must be ex-
changed immediately in order to guarantee the defined
protective function.
Only original parts may be employed for the maintenance
of this helmet.
Subsequently applied paint on the helmet surface, or sti-
ckers not approved by ROSENBAUER, can alter the charac-
teristics of the material and are not allowed.
No alterations may be made to the helmet assembly.
During operations in areas subject to the danger of explo-
sions, the breathing apparatus mask and the helmet should
be treated with anti-static spray, or a water film should be
applied.
The helmet shell is covered with a functional paint coating
(impact resistant). Possible damage to the paint may have
a negative effect upon the protective function of the hel-
met and should therefore be repaired immediately by a
specialist.
The visors of this helmet are made of high-performance
polycarbonate.
In extreme temperatures even the best helmet visor mate-
rials lose their stability. Deformed visors (due to thermal
loads) must be exchanged immediately. Visors are wear
parts and should be stocked in sufficient quantities.
The ear covers are made of soft, flexible material, offering
limited mechanical protection only.
Ear covers are wear parts and should be stocked in suffici-
ent quantities.
This protective helmet will lower your ability to feel heat.
Even though you do not feel heat you can be burned or in-
jured suddenly and without warning. Be constantly alert to
the possibility of exposure to heat and other hazards.
SIZING, FIT AND ADJUSTMENT
Before each use of this helmet, make sure that it is sized, fits
and adjusted properly
The interior helmet harness allows the optimum adjustment of
the helmet fit to the head.
Individual setting can be carried out by means of the new me-
thod of adjusting the headband to the respective head size from
the outside.
The covering of the headband is attached by means of a Velcro
strip, thus allowing easy cleaning. The headband can be remo-
ved from the helmet for cleaning purposes without the need for
tools. As a result of simple screw fixing at three points on the
inner shell, the complete interior harness of the helmet can be
easily exchanged.
The visor provides LIMITED protection only to the facial area it
covers. To provide this limited protection you must lower the vi-
sors fully to the detent, no intermediate position is allowed.
The visors must be stowed in the full upright position when a
SCBA facepiece is worn.
The trapezoidal shaped chinstrap is made of flame-retardant,
highly heat-resistant material. In combination with the integra-
ted padding, the chinstrap ensures pleasant wearing. The chin-
strap can be individually adjusted both laterally and vertically in
the neck area.
The ear covers are secured to the interior helmet harness and
the helmet shell by a tension strip and can be easily removed for
cleaning purposes.
You must assure that the ear covers of this helmet are down and
interface with your hood, SCBA and coat collar so that there is
no gap in protection during use.
Donning your protective helmet
The helmet can be smoothly adjusted between minimum and
maximum size using the external ratchet knob.
1. The integrity, fit, and proper assembly of the helmet,
suspension system, ear covers, and chinstrap must be
checked before each use
2. Release the headband by turning the ratchet knob coun-
ter-clockwise
3. Put the helmet on and hold it down on your head
4. Tighten the headband by turning the ratchet knob clock-
wise to obtain a snug fit. Never tighten the ratchet bey
ond its limits – this could result in damage of parts of the
ratchet and in reduced protection.
