Introduction
WARNING!
•
This helmet provides limited top and lateral impact and penetration protection. It is designed to reduce the
effect of an impact or penetration blow, but cannot provide complete head protection from these occur-
rences. This helmet complies with the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 for Type II and the CAN/CSA Z94.1-15
Standard for Type II Industrial Protective Headwear and in most circumstances should be effective against
small tools, bolts, rivets, sparks, and similar hazards; however, some conditions can exceed this helmet's
capacity to protect against serious injury or death. Avoid areas where the chance of severe helmet impact
or penetration exists.
•
In order to provide maximum protection, the helmet must fit securely on the head and the headband must
be adjusted to a snug fit. Although this helmet meets the Passive Retention Test in the CAN/CSA Standard,
some extreme conditions such as high wind or helmet impact can dislodge the helmet from the head.
•
The helmet provides limited electrical protection as outlined in the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CAN/CSA
Z94.1-15 Standards. Sample helmets are proof tested to 20,000 volts (RMS) for class E; but this should not
be construed as a safe contact voltage. Avoid areas where the chance of severe electrical shock exists.
•
Discard the helmet after any impact or penetration. This helmet absorbs the energy of an impact by deform-
ing and crushing; and the damage may not be visible or readily apparent. A damaged helmet will not pro-
vide the degree of protection originally designed into it. Never risk your life using a damaged helmet.
•
Although it may provide limited head protection in the event of a fall, this helmet is not designed for fall pro-
tection.
•
Never use this helmet for structural fire fighting because it does not meet the applicable NFPA Standard.
•
Never use this helmet as a vehicular or sports helmet.
•
Never store gloves, cigarettes, earplugs, etc., between the suspension and the shell liner. This space is
needed when the shell/suspension absorbs the energy of an impact. Objects in this space can transit large
forces to the head and neck, resulting in serious injury or death.
•
Inspect the helmet before and after each use. Always follow the inspection procedure in this booklet.
Replace any part showing evidence of wear or damage.
•
Never exceed useful service life guidelines of helmet as outlined in this booklet. Replace components or
helmet as required.
•
Never alter or modify this helmet in any way. Use only MSA supplied or approved accessories with this hel-
met. It is permissible 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 compatible with the surface material and
known not to affect adversely the characteristics of the materials used in the helmet. Modifications or use of
other than MSA accessories can reduce the protection levels or dielectric properties designed into the hel-
met.
•
Never use paint, solvents or hydrocarbon type cleaners (e.g. M.E.K., thinner, gasoline, kerosene) on this
helmet. These substances can damage the helmet 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.
CAUTION!
•
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 helmet'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 missile in
the event of a sudden stop.
•
Clean only with a mild soap and warm water to help avoid skin irritation from wearing the helmet.
Even though sample helmets are proof tested to 2200 V (Class G) and 20,000 V (Class E), the maximum
voltage against which the helmet will protect the wearer depends upon a number of variable factors, such
as the characteristics of the electrical circuit, the care exercised in the maintenance of the helmet and
weather conditions. The safe and proper use of the helmet in electrical applications should be established
by the authority having jurisdiction, and their recommendations must be strictly followed.
