Using the helmet
The SCHUBERTH F 220 fire helmet is available in one helmet shell size and is
approved for a head size of 53 cm to 62 cm.
Size adjustment
The helmet can be adjusted to the respective head
size by sliding the two ends of the head support
ring (A) and locking the studs (B) firmly into the
appropriate holes (C). When required, for example
when wearing a balaclava under the helmet, the
quick-adjustment option allows you to create more
space (see also "Using the helmet with a full-face
mask with harness").
Note: The F 220 can be optionally equipped with a
screw cap. Detailed information can be found in the
assembly instructions that come with the screw cap.
Adjusting the wearing height
The inner netting (affecting helmet height!) can be adjusted
by sliding the two rear net retainers. Having been released
from the guide buckles (E), the net retainer (D) can then be
set to the required wearing height and fastened accordingly
by buttoning into the holes of the guide buckles (E). Please
make sure the studs are firmly pressed into place.
Adjusting the chin-neck strap
Opening and closing the chinstrap is made easy by the quick-release button
fastener on it. Grip the helmet with both hands by the chin-neck strap, then pull
the helmet over your head from the front and close the chin strap by means of the
quick-release button fastener. The neck strap must fit firmly under the ears and
around the back of your head. The length of the neck straps can be adjusted by
