WARNING!
The screw covers on both the lateral brackets for the impact cap must be snapped closed, covering the
screws underneath, to maintain optimal dielectric protection.
All plastics can degrade over time. Inspect routinely and replace damaged lateral brackets immediately.
Replacement of the lateral brackets should be completed if the screw covers have broken off, are damaged,
or no longer sit flush with the lateral bracket. If any of these conditions exist, replace both lateral brackets
per these instructions.
Use only MSA provided hardware for assembling the lateral brackets.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
