Although the Flip‐up‐Visor is supplied fully assembled it may be necessary to remove the protective cover from the outside of
the visor prior to use. It is also necessary to inspect that there is no visible damage to the visor, browguard, headcover, faceseal
or hose. The hose connects between the headpiece and breathing hose by a bayonet fitting.
Fitting
Attach hose to powered filtering unit and refer to instructions supplied with powered filtering unit. Fit the waistbelt around the
body with the buckle at the front, whilst supporting the headpiece. Adjust the crown strap to achieve a comfortable fit with the
headband above the ears. Don the visor and adjust the head harness to the correct size using the rear ratchet knob.
Lower the visor and ensure that the face seal is pulled under the chin and fitted snugly around the face. Pull down the headcover
so that it overlaps the edges of the browguard along the join with the visor. Tuck the head seal under rear edge of the
browguard by the pivot point to achieve as close as fit as possible between the headcover and faceseal.
Maintenance
The visor should be replaced when it becomes scratched or pitted. To remove the old visor firstly remove the two front white
studs by pushing them out from the inside. Then press the visor to deflect the sides away from the browguard and then remove.
To fit the screen to the browguard, locate the holes at both ends of the visor in the browguard. Feed the screen into the slot in
the browguard and apply gentle pressure at the front of the visor to deflect it over the central carrier peg until it is located in the
central visor hole. Ensure that all carrier pegs are fully located into the visor holes. Then re‐fit the two white studs into the front
of the browguard so that they go through both the browguard and the visor.
The headcover, faceseal, air hose or channel should be replaced if damaged.
Cleaning
The visor, browguard and hose should be swabbed with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water. Wipe with a dry soft cloth. Do
not allow water to enter the air channel. The face seal and headcover may be washed at 40°C using domestic washing powder.
CFU HELMET WITH VISOR
The helmet with a flip up visor provides protection of head and eyes and, coupled with the powered filtering unit Turbine 170
SPASCIANI, a respiratory protection class TH2 (see EN 12941).
CFU is an helmet with a flip up visor which is fed with air from the waist mounted power unit via a spiral hose.
Filtered air is ducted from the Powered Filtering Unit up a spiral hose, and into an air channel. The air is discharged into the top
of the visor area maximizing anti misting and directed to the breathing zone.
Fitting
Before donning the helmet connect the hose to the filtering power unit and fit the waist belt with the buckle at the front, as
described in instructions supplied with powered filtering unit.
Don the helmet and tighten the headband. Flip the visor down and pull the face seal under the chin ensuring a snug fit around
the face.
Attention: for an adequate respiratory protection, the visor must be properly assembled on the helmet. The tabs assembly must
be inserted in the slot until it stops.
Note: For adequate head protection this helmet must fit or be adjusted to the size of the user's head. Adjust the helmet by
means of the headband found at the rear of the helmet for a secure and comfortable fit. This helmet is made to absorb the
energy of a blow by partial destruction or damage to the shell and the harness or protective padding and even though such
damage may not be readily apparent any helmet subjected to severe impact should be replaced.
Maintenance
Check before use that all parts are operational and undamaged. If in any doubt contact the manufacturer. Replace visor covers
frequently and visor when scratched or damaged. Other routine maintenance is limited to cleaning of the shell, hose and air
channel, and replacement of the face seal as necessary. Do not modify or remove any of the original component parts of the
helmet or other respiratory parts other than those recommended by the Manufacturer. Do not apply paint or solvents or
adhesives, or self‐adhesive labels.
Cleaning
Wiping with a damp (not wet) soft cloth soaked with warm soapy water may clean the helmet, hose and air channel. Dry by
wiping with a soft dry cloth. Care must be taken to avoid scratching. Cleaning with commercial solvents or organic compounds is
not recommended as they cause surface compounds and stress leaving with a loss of physical properties.
The face seal may be washed at 40°C with domestic washing powder.
