to use pressure sensitive decals
or Velcro on the helmet as long
as (1) they are not closer than
1/2 inch from the edge of the
helmet and (2) they are compati-
ble with the surface material and
known not to affect adversely
the characteristics of the materi-
als used in the helmet.
Modifications or use of other
than MSA accessories can
reduce the protection levels or
dielectric properties designed
into the helmet.
• Never use paint, solvents or
hydrocarbon type cleaners (e.g.
M.E.K., thinner, gasoline,
kerosene) on this helmet. These
substances can damage the hel-
met materials in a manner which
MAY NOT be visible to the user,
causing the helmet to fail.
Certain paints contain solvents
which can damage parts of the
helmet assembly.
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in serious personal injury or
death.
INTRODUCTION

• This helmet must be stored in a
clean, dry area where it is not
exposed to extremes of heat or
cold which can effect the hel-
met's useful service life. Never
store a helmet on the back shelf
of an automobile; not only will it
be exposed to sunlight (leading
to heat and UV damage), but it
could become a secondary mis-
sile in the event of a sudden
stop.
• Clean only with a mild soap and
warm water to help avoid skin
irritation from wearing the hel-
met.
• Even though sample helmets are
proof tested to 2200 V (class G)
and 20,000 V (class E), the maxi-
mum voltage against which the
helmet will protect the wearer
depends upon a number of vari-
able factors, such as the charac-
teristics of the electrical circuit,
the care exercised in the mainte-
nance of the helmet and weather
conditions. The safe and proper
use of the helmet in electrical
applications should be estab-
lished by the authority having
jurisdiction, and their recom-
mendations must be strictly fol-
lowed.
