Maximum lifespan under optimal storage condi-
tions (see section on storage) and without use: 12
years.
Occasional use
Occasional and appropriate use without obvious
wear and tear and with optimal storage: 10 years.
Frequent or Extreme Usage
Under extreme conditions with frequent impacts
from rocks or ice and numerous scratches and
dents, the safety reserves can be depleted within a
very short period of time and thus make replacement
inevitable. The helmet absorbs the energies resulting
from an impact which could include the helmet's
partial destruction or damages on shell and interior
parts.
The helmet must be replaced after a severe impact
(fall, rock or ice impact), even if the damage is not
immediately visible.
The same applies to deep scratches or contact with
chemicals (attention: battery acid!).
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer
or in accordance with procedures recommended by
the manufacturer.
Inspection
The product must be checked and, if necessary,
maintained whenever this is necessary but at least
yearly by the manufacturer, an expert or an autho-
rised testing centre.
In the process, it must be ensured among other
things that the product labelling is legible. Once the
above-mentioned 10 years period of use has been
exceeded, the personal protection equipment prod-
uct must be withdrawn from further use.
Storage, transport and care
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, dark place outside transport
containers.
Avoid contact with chemicals (caution: battery acid!)
Store without mechanical stress caused by jamming,
pressure or tension.
Transport
The product must be kept away from direct sunlight,
chemicals, dirt and mechanical damage. For this
purpose, a protective bag or special storage and
transport containers should be used.
Cleaning (Fig. 10, 12)
Upon use, helmets - especially when contaminated
- must be cleansed with warm water and neutral
soap, to protect metal parts of the helmet from pos-
sible adverse effects of sweat resulting from heavy
use. Rinse well. Dry at room temperature, never use
a tumble drier or dry close to radiators! If required,
halogen-free commercial disinfectants may be used.
Metal parts should then be wetted with an acid-free
oil.
