MSA Gallet F1XF Manual Del Operador página 14

Only trained people should perform the regular maintenance.
WARNING!
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.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
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.
MSA recommends that this complete control 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.
WARNING!
In case of visible damage identified during the daily check (before or after use), such as impacts, significant
scratches, coating removal on the shell or visors, melted parts, broken parts, torn straps or paddings, 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 for complete control processing.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
Components that are particularly critical to the safety of the product, such as suspension, shell and impact liner, are
marked with .
Treat such parts with special attention and care during inspection and assembly.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
