3 Adjusting the Helmet
The chin strap is equipped with 3 adjustment points to allow quick and simple adjustment while the helmet is on the
head.
The wearing angle shown here is indicative. It may vary slightly depending on user's head size
and shape.
WARNING!
The helmet only meets the retention requirements of EN 443:2008 when the chin strap provided by the helmet
manufacturer is worn and adjusted according to the instructions.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
3.3 Visors
WARNING!
• Visors worn over non-designated corrective frames may transmit impacts which may damage the
corrective eyewear thus creating a hazard to the user.
• Service life of visors is depending on the conditions of use.
• Any face shield that has been scratched, dropped or damaged must be replaced.
• The visor type "Face guard" will provide protection to the eyes and substantial areas of the face.
• Performances of the visor are obtained only in use position (low position). Visors should be in standby
position (stored under the helmet shell) during the use of a breathing apparatus (SCBA).
• Equipment not marked with "T" should only be used at non-extreme ambient temperatures.
• Ensure that you are using an EN 443 helmet with a visor marked "+" for structural firefighting.
• Materials that come in contact with the wearer's skin could cause allergic reactions in susceptible
individuals.
• Eye guards will offer little or no protection to substantial areas of the face. They should only be used where
an adequate risk assessment indicates that facial protection is not required.
