9.4.2
Separate the Velcro tabs on the back of the cape.
See Figure 5.
9.4.3
Slide the ends of the cape to the notch. Continue
sliding one end of the cape out of the groove until the entire
cape is detached from the helmet.
9.4.4
To install the cape, separate the Velcro tabs on the
cape and slide one end into the groove on the bottom edge
of the cape attachment strap at the point where the groove
is notched. Continue sliding the cape around the bottom of
the helmet until the entire cape is completely into the
groove. NOTE! Spraying a non-toxic silicone-base lubri-
cant into the groove will reduce friction and ease assem-
bly.
9.4.5
Join the Velcro tabs at the notch.
9.5
Inner Collar
9.5.1
The inner collar is a very important factor in
controlling air escape from the helmet and preventing
ingress of dust.
9.5.2
The elastic properties of the collar are intended to
provide a snug fit on the user’s neck. The inner collar must
be replaced before it is stretched to the point where it no
longer fits snug against the neck. The collar unzips from
the outer cape for replacement or washing. See Section
8.2 for cleaning instructions.
9.6
Window Frame
9.6.1
The window frame must be replaced when it
becomes difficult to maintain a seal, or to keep the latch
closed. When replacing the window frame the acoustical
foam inside the helmet should also be replaced.
9.7
Chin Strap
9.7.1
Replace the chin strap when worn.
9.8
Filter Kit
9.8.1
A filter kit is available for the alternate Air Control
Valve. When the foam filter becomes soiled or deterio-
rates, pry out the retaining ring with a small screwdriver.
Remove the screen and dirty filter. Replace all three items
with parts supplied in the kit.
