INTRODUCTION
These instructions are intended to help you familiarize yourself with the HEROS-matrix
fire fighting helmet, its features, use and its care. Despite the application of the
highest quality standards during the design and production, as well as a detailed final
inspection before delivery, every HEROS-matrix fire fighting helmet can only be as
good as it is treated, maintained and cared for. It is up to the user how well the
HEROS-matrix performs and protects and thus how satisfied she/he is with it.
