Donning The Helmet - MSA 360S Guia Del Propietario

RATCHET AND CHINSTRAP
ADJUSTMENT
1. Open the headband by turning the
ratchet knob counter-clockwise
(left).
2. Place the helmet on your head.
While holding the helmet down on
your head, turn the ratchet knob
clockwise (it adjusts in 1/8" incre-
ments) until it is snug and comfort-
able.
3. After obtaining a snug fit, lower the
earlap over your ears and the
ratchet knob.
4. Fasten the chin-
strap and adjust
to a snug fit.
The helmet must be properly adjust-
ed to provide maximum protection.
Tightening the ratchet beyond its
limits may cause damage to internal
gears and result in reduced protec-
tion.
NEVER wear your helmet without
fastening and tightening the chin-
strap.
Failure to follow these warnings can
result serious personal injury or
death.

WARNING
RATCHET BAND HEIGHT ADJUST-
MENT (TRADITIONAL AND MOD-
ERN HELMETS)
The back portion of the headband
where the ratchet is located can be
adjusted to three different height set-
tings to maximize comfort.
To adjust the height,
unsnap the ratchet
and move it to the
lower or upper hole.
Re-snap the ratchet
and check to ensure
that it is secure.
SCBA FACEPIECE ADJUSTMENT
The MSA CairnsHELMETS Traditional
and Modern helmet is equipped with
an exclusive interface that allows the
firefighter to wear the helmet comfort-
ably and safely with most SCBA face-
pieces. The exclusive "adjustable"
design allows for a secure fit of both
helmet and facepiece. When engaged,
the helmet rests in the proper position
and the facepiece seal is protected.
To Adjust: A one-time adjustment is
required for optimum fit with your size
head and your choice of SCBA.
1. Check fit of helmet against top of
the SCBA facepiece.
a. If there is a gap, lower the front
headband.
b. If the helmet is being pushed
upward, raise the front head-
band.
