Rosenbauer - User Guide HEROS-xtreme
7. Inspection, maintenance, duration of use
7.1 General
As a general principle, the instructions and rules in the user information
provided with every helmet supplied to the customer apply. It is important
to strictly observe all the instructions in the user information to ensure user
safety. Rosenbauer accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to observe
the user information and individual items of the user information.
7.2 Inspection
As a rule, the helmet, the helmet liner and the accessories should be inspected
for signs of damage before and after every operation. You must not use a
damaged helmet or damaged helmet parts; defective parts must be replaced
immediately. After each operation where the helmet has been exposed to
unusual stress (e.g. impact, knocks, dropping, other types of force, direct
exposure to flame, high and/or extended exposure to heat, exposure to
chemicals, contact with molten metal and others), all helmet components
must be carefully inspected before redeploying the helmet. This check must be
performed by a suitably trained member of staff; note that Rosenbauer offers
appropriate staff training. All helmet components must be inspected carefully
and damaged parts must be renewed without exception before the helmet is
reused. We recommend performing this check every 2 years and logging the
inspection and replacement of helmet components. Never use a damaged
helmet, it might not provide the protection you expect!
Helmet components must immediately be replaced by original parts if one of
the following criteria applies, or other visible damage exists:
Helmet shell + visor
a) Cracks of any kind
b) Missing components
c) Grooves or scratches deeper than 1 mm
d) Blistering
e) Major surface damage due to excessive heat or flame exposure
f) Substantial damage to the protective coating
g) Damage to individual components
