1 Safety Instructions
This instruction manual is to be removed from the helmet only by the end user. Read and obey all
instructions.
Use the correct MSA suspension with the MSA shell. Make sure that the suspension and helmet size
are the same (for example, use only standard size suspension with standard size helmet). If the
suspension and helmet sizes are different, helmet protection is decreased.
This helmet supplies limited protection from impact and penetration to the top of the head. This helmet
is not specifically designed to protect against front, side, or rear (that is, "lateral") blows. As an Industrial
Protective Type I helmet, this helmet should be effective against small tools, bolts, rivets, and similar
hazards. Some conditions can exceed this helmet's capacity to protect against serious injury or death.
Do NOT use this helmet to go into areas where there is a risk of severe impact or penetration from
dangerous objects.
Do NOT use this helmet as a vehicular or sports helmet. Do NOT alter or modify this helmet in any way.
Do NOT apply paint or attach stickers or labels that are not recommended by MSA to the helmet.
This PPE is for intended use only.
Failure to obey these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
