After use

Check usability as follows:
– Check helmet shell, internal helmet components, chin
strap and accessories. Replace defective parts.
– Check visors. In the event of visible damage or impaired
vision (e.g. due to scratches, discolouring), the visors
should be replaced.
– Check the paint coating of the fire helmet for damage.
The special self-extinguishing coating is the most
important factor for the thermal performance of the helmet.
Damaged coating might shorten the usage period. Small
surface scratches or damage to the paint work do not
reduce the protective effect. They can be repaired with
repair paint.
Fire helmets that are out of use, or cannot be repaired any
more must be destroyed for safety reasons.
Trained personnel or Dräger can check and decide if a
damaged fire helmet is still suitable for use or can be repaired.
CAUTION
The protective effect is reduced after impact!
If the fire helmet absorbs the energy of an impact, it can get
damaged or destroyed.
► Even if the damage is not visible at first, the fire helmet
must be replaced after a heavy bump or impact. Damaged
or impact-stressed fire helmets may no longer be used.
This also applies if no external damage is visible.
5 Maintenance
5.1 Maintenance table
For information on maintenance measures, see the technical
manual.
5.2 Cleaning and disinfecting
Generally, cleaning the fire helmet after use will suffice. The
internal helmet components can be disinfected if the fire
helmet has been used in contaminated areas.
NOTICE
Risk of damaging the material!
For cleaning and disinfecting, do not use any solvents (e.g.
acetone or alcohol) or cleaning agents with scouring particles.
► Only follow the specified procedure and use the specified
cleaning and disinfecting agents. Other agents, dosages
and application times may cause damage to the product.
For information on suitable cleaning agents and disin-
fectants and their specifications, see document
