6 Care and Maintenance
6.2.2
Advanced Cleaning
If the helmet is particularly soiled or has been exposed to severe conditions, advanced cleaning is
recommended.
It can be carried out manually or using an approved mechanical, machine cleaning method.
Please refer to the care and maintenance manual.
6.3
Inspection and Maintenance
WARNING!
Failure to follow the recommended inspection procedures can reduce helmet performance and result in
serious personal injury, disease, illness, or death.
Do not use a helmet that has damage.
Do not attempt to test the helmet. The performance properties of the helmet and its components cannot be
properly tested by a user in the field.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
6.3.1
Routine Inspection
WARNING!
This helmet is made to absorb the energy of a blow by partial destruction or damage to the helmet and/or
harness. Replace the helmet after it has withstood an impact, even if there is no visible damage. In case of
visible damage identified during the routine inspection (before or after use), such as impacts, significant
scratches, coating removal on the shell or visors, melted parts, broken parts, torn straps or padding, missing
components, non-operational moving parts (such as visors or ratchet), etc., the helmet should be taken to
the trained maintenance technician or an MSA approved maintenance center.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
Checks Before and After Each Use (Visual Checks) / Additional Visor Check
After each use, check every part of the helmet and accessories, and especially all the fixing points:
•
Correct anchor points used
•
No evident wear
•
No fractures or cracks
Check that the helmet fit is always correct.
6.3.2
Advanced Inspection
Periodically, perform a complete check of the helmet with detailed inspection of each critical component.
MSA provides upon request a Service and Maintenance manual which details conformity criteria for all safety
components of the helmet and parts replacement procedures.
WARNING!
•
Only a manufacturer-trained organization or an MSA technician can perform advanced inspection.
•
Replace any damaged parts only with original MSA parts, as only these original parts are authorized and
ensure the performance of the helmet.
•
This helmet is made to absorb the energy of a blow by partial destruction or damage to the helmet and/or
harness. Replace the helmet after it has withstood an impact, even if there is no visible damage.
•
MSA recommends that this complete check is performed at least every two (2) years, more regularly in
case of intensive use (every year for instance), or each time the helmet has been exposed to very
severe conditions (mechanical impact, very high temperature, direct flame contact, contact with pouring
metal or chemicals). In cases where frequency of use is very low and none of the mentioned exposures
and damages are recorded, an inspection should be performed at least every 4 years. Local regulations
may apply.
