MSA Super V Mode D'emploi page 7

HELMET CARE
Helmets must be cleaned regularly for
easy inspection and to help the
wearer avoid skin irritations. Clean
only with mild soap (no detergents)
and warm water.
Like any piece of specialized equip-
ment, a helmet must not be abused. It
must not be thrown, dropped or used
as a support.
The helmet must be stored in a clean,
dry area not subject to extremes of
heat, cold, or humidity.
USEFUL SERVICE LIFE GUIDELINES
The Super V Helmet was designed
with high quality, wear resistant
materials; but it will not last forever.
The protective properties of the
helmet will be degraded by exposure
to many common work environments,
such as temperature extremes, chemi-
cal exposure, UV radiation,
and normal day-to-day wear and tear.
HELMET CARE
7
The user must inspect the helmet
regularly (see Inspection section) and
replace it or any part necessary.
Never take a chance with your safety.
In extreme exposure conditions,
the helmet (or certain parts) may need
to be replaced even after only a
short period of use. As a general
guideline, even if the helmet appears
to be in good shape, MSA recom-
mends the following replacement
schedule.
• Suspension - Replace after no
more than 12 months
• Entire Helmet - Replace after no
more than 5 years.
Remember that these are maximum
useful service life guidelines. Wear
or damage noticed during a regular
inspection must be the determining
factor for possible earlier replacement.
In any case, always replace the
helmet after it has withstood impact or
penetration.
