Maintenance by a Trained Maintenance Specialist
Only trained people should perform the regular maintenance.
WARNING!
Replace any damaged parts only with original MSA parts, as only these original parts are authorized
and ensure the performance of the helmet.
Helmet absorbs the energy of a blow by partial destruction of, or damage to, the helmet. Even though
such damage may not be readily apparent, any helmet subjected to a severe impact should be
replaced.
Periodically, perform a complete check of the helmet with detailed inspection of each critical compo-
nent. MSA provides upon request a Service and Maintenance manual which details conformity criteria
for all safety components of the helmet and parts replacement procedures.
MSA recommends that this complete control is performed at least every two (2) years, more regularly
in case of intensive use (every year for instance), or each time the helmet has been exposed to very
severe conditions (mechanical impact, very high temperature, direct flame contact, contact with
pouring metal or chemicals). In cases where frequency of use is very low and none of the mentioned
exposures and damages are recorded, an inspection should be performed at least every 4 years. Local
regulations may apply.
WARNING!
In case of visible damage identified during the daily check (before or after use), such as impacts, signif-
icant scratches, coating removal on the shell or visors, melted parts, broken parts, torn straps or
paddings, missing components, non-operational moving parts (such as visors or ratchet), etc., the
helmet should be taken to the trained maintenance technician or an MSA approved maintenance
center for complete control processing.
WARNING!
Components that are particularly critical to the safety of the product, such as suspension, shell and
impact liner, are marked with
Treat such parts with special attention and care during inspection and assembly.
