wire bands inwards until you hear a click on both sides indicating a
firm seal. If necessary adjust the cups by sliding up or down until
they form a snug seal around the ears. Ensure the cups and wire
band do not chafe against the head harness or edge of the helmet
which may result in acoustic leakage.
Stand-by position (Figure 13) Lift the cups to the fixed stand-by
position. In a noisy environment the ear muffs must be worn in the
working position at all times.
Parking position (Figure 14) First lift cups to the stand-by position,
then rotate them up to the next fixed position.
IMPORTANT: Do not press the cups onto the helmet shell as this will
lock the spring in the ear muff arm and damage the attachment slot
on the side of the helmet and the sealing cushion.
Storage position (Figure 15) When the helmet is not in use, lower
the ear muffs and press them inward. Keep the cups clean and dry
and store at normal room temperature.
FIT CHECK
When hearing protectors are correctly worn your own voice should
sound hollow and sounds around you should not sound as loud as
before.
For optimum noise reduction the cushions should form a snug fit
against the head with no interference of the seal by any objects e.g.
respirator headbands or spectacles arms. The cups should
completely enclose the ears. If you are unable to fit these ear muffs
correctly and comfortably contact your safety officer or 3M for further
advice.
