Before you can size the headband,
the cape and suspension must be
removed from the helmet using the
following steps:
1. Open hinged window frame by lift-
ing up on window latch.
2. Remove cape from helmet by lifting
up on over-center clamp and disen-
gaging cape from helmet groove.
3. Turn helmet upside down and
remove suspension by pulling up
on hanger keys until they pop out
of the helmet.
4. Size the 88TG suspension by
squeezing top and bottom edges of
rear buckle together with your thumb
and forefinger (see Figure 4). At
the same time, decrease suspen-
sion size by sliding right hand por-
tion of suspension through buckle.
Do not release buckle.
5. Place the headband on your head.
Pull down allowing suspension to
expand until it feels comfortable.

your size and locks when you
release your grip (Figure 5).

The suspension may be raised or low-
ered in the front and/or back by repo-
sitioning the hanger keys. Vertical

direction until hole in hanger key
aligns with post on suspension.

pension until key locks in place
(see Figure 6).

sion keys.

down.
2. Place suspension inside helmet with
brow pad facing front of helmet.
