Instructions for use
You should know
Activities at height carry a serious risk of
head injuries from falling objects and impacts
with stationary objects. Wearing a helmet can
signifi cantly reduce these risks, but cannot
entirely eliminate them. In extreme impacts
beyond the scope of the test standards, the
helmet plays its role by absorbing the maximum
amount of energy possible, deforming sometimes
to the breaking-point.
Limitations on use
Helmet for work at height and rescue.
The chinstrap has a strength of 50 daN
(Requirement of the EN 12 492 standard) to help
keep the helmet on the head in case of a fall
(impact, snagging).
WARNING: this helmet has no electrical
insulation rating due to the ventilation holes.
Preparation (diagram 1)
1A. Headband height: two adjustment positions.
1B. Chinstrap height: two adjustment positions.
1C. Adjust the chinstrap forward or backward by
positioning the buckles as desired.
1D. Use the standard slots (6) to attach hearing
and vision protection.
1E. Use the clips (7) to attach a headlamp.
Use only the smooth areas (8) for stickers and
other markings.
WARNING: Stickers, markers, paints, etc. may
contain ingredients that can damage the helmet
and reduce its protective properties.
Adjustments (diagram 2)

Precautions
Do not expose helmet to extreme heat (e.g. left in
a vehicle parked in the sun).
Certain chemical products - especially solvents -
will damage the helmet and reduce its protective
properties. Keep the helmet away from contact
with chemicals.
Modifi cations
The VERTEX helmets can be equipped with a
permanently-mounted headlamp (e.g. PETZL E63
FIXO DUO).
The mounting instructions for this accessory
must be followed precisely. Any other
modifi cation is prohibitited due to the risk of
reducing the helmet's protective properties.
