7.3 Service life
The types of material employed in manufacture and the surroundings in which the
helmet is used and stored, influence its service life. Reccommendations on this
topic: 7.4.
7.4 Recommendations on service life
HEROS Smart fire fighting helmets are very age resistant when used for their intended
purpose and maintained correctly. Their maximum service life depends directly on
their use such as exposure to weather, storage and operational conditions, as well
as thermal and mechanical stress etc. To ensure as long a service life as possible,
always observe the rules and instructions published in this user information and
replace defective or worn helmet parts with original parts in the course of ongoing
inspection. In addition to this, the helmet must always be cleaned after use (see
user information), protected against exposure to light, exhaust gases etc., and kept
in a dry and clean place. For older helmets that have been in service longer, note
that any evaluation of the service life can only take the operations, requirements,
stresses, standards etc. into consideration that were relevant when the helmet was
first released. Also note that the helmet should only be exposed to stress covered by
the appropriate legislation and helmet inspection rules that applied when the helmet
was first released. HEROS Smart fire fighting helmets can be used for a very long time
assuming you observe all the instructions in the user information and also assuming
ongoing care and maintenance and replacement of all defective parts. The production
date of our helmets is shown in the date pictogram on the interior of the helmet.
Attention: The visor features anti-fog coating on the inside. The visor and the coating must
be meticulously cared for at regular intervals with warm water, a soft cloth and, if necessary,
mild dishwashing liquid. Visors should never be cleaned when dry or using aggressive
or abrasive materials. Even with proper care, this coating has a limited resistance with
corresponding use. Detachment of the inner display coating does not represent a defect;
in this case it is recommended you replace the visor.
