Maintenance and Cleaning

8 Maintenance and Cleaning
For cleaning, maintenance or disinfection use only substances that have no adverse effect on the
helmet and are not known to be likely to have any adverse effect upon the wearer, when applied in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and informations.
The length of the useable life of this helmet will be affected by the type(s) of material 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.
Do not apply paint, stickers, cleaning products with a hydrocarbon base or solvents to the helmet or
visors to prevent damaging the materials of the helmet.
To maximize helmet lifetime:
• Store the helmet in a proper storage bag and/or in a closed cabinet to avoid extended exposure
to cold, humidity, exhaust fumes, etc.
• Clean the helmet (shell and internal components) after use before storing.
Checks After Each Use
After each use, check every part of the helmet and especially all the fixing points:
• Correct anchor points used
• No evident wear
GB
• No fractures or cracks
Check that the helmet fit is always correct.
Maintenance by a Trained Maintenance Specialist
Only trained people should perform the regular maintenance.
Replace any damaged parts only with original MSA parts, as only these original parts are authorized
and ensure the performance of the helmet.
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 a severe impact should be
replaced.
Periodically, perform a complete check of the helmet with detailed inspection of each critical compo-
nent. MSA provides upon request a Service and Maintenance manual which details conformity criteria
for all safety components of the helmet and parts replacement procedures.

cause discomfort. Changing those parts regularly will maintain user comfort level.
