safe operation. DO NOT REMOVE THESE LABELS.
WARNINGS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH.
• This safety helmet provides LIMITED protection from small
objects striking top, front, back, left and right sides of the safety
helmet.
• DO NOT expose safety helmet, EPS insert, suspension, padding and
chin strap to open flame.
• ELECTRICAL WARNING: Avoid areas where the chance of electrical
shock exists. Non-vented versions meet Class E requirements by
providing limited electrical protection. Class C vented models provide
no electrical protection. (See WARNING LABELS Section).
• If the safety helmet or EPS insert has sustained an impact, dispose
of it IMMEDIATELY, even if damage is not visible.
• NEVER alter, puncture, modify or engrave the shell, EPS insert,
suspension or chin strap.
• DO NOT use paints, solvents, chemicals, insect repellent,
adhesives, gasoline or like substances on this safety helmet –
doing so can lessen the protection offered against impact and
penetration.
• DO NOT use this safety helmet as a vehicular or recreational safety
helmet.
• DO NOT store objects between the suspension and the shell, as
the safety helmet will not function as intended and can lessen the
protection from impact and penetration.
• Exposure to direct sunlight, corrosive environments, and/or
extreme temperatures below -40°F (-40°C) or above 120°F (49°C)
can lessen the ability of the safety helmet to withstand impact and
penetration.
MAINTENANCE
SAFETY HELMET CLEANING AND STORAGE
• Clean the safety helmet and suspension with mild soap and water
only. Rinse and wipe dry. Clean chin strap with damp cloth only.
Store in a cool place.
• See SWEATBAND AND TOP COMFORT PAD section of the
operating instructions (on other side) for additional maintenance
information.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Inspect the safety helmet, EPS insert, including the suspension, chin
strap and shell, before and after each use:
• Check the Safety helmet's shell for any cracks, breakage,
discoloration, chalky appearance, or any other damage, excessive
wear or unusual condition. These conditions may indicate reduced
impact or penetration resistance and the Safety helmet must be
replaced IMMEDIATELY.
• The suspension and chin strap should be checked for cracks,
breaks, damaged stitching or any other damage, excessive wear
or unusual condition. If any of these conditions exist, they must be
replaced IMMEDIATELY.
• Always use genuine Klein Tools replacement parts. This product
works as a system, and use of unauthorized suspensions and
chin straps may reduce the protection you receive from this safety
helmet.
USEFUL LIFE
SUSPENSION AND CHIN STRAP: Must be replaced after no more
than 12 months of use.
ENTIRE SAFETY HELMET: Entire Safety helmet should be replaced
after 2 years of use, or no more than 5 years from the date of
manufacture, whichever comes first.
These are useful service life guidelines. Regular inspection as
detailed in the MAINTENANCE section above MUST be performed,
and may result in possible earlier replacement.
NOTE: This replacement schedule is a guideline that assumes
normal use and storage conditions for the safety helmet. If the
safety helmet is exposed to temperature extremes, persistent
sunlight, or chemicals, replacement may be required in a shorter
time frame.

slots deeper in the safety helmet will move it higher on the head and vice
versa. Insert the bracket key
and turn the bracket
17
degrees to lock into place. Always match the settings on the left and right
sides to prevent the suspension from sitting at an angle.
STEP 3: Verify the safety helmet fits properly. Follow the steps in
the FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Ensure that accessories
you plan to use fit and function properly while maintaining the
safety helmet's ability to perform its function optimally. Check with
a qualified safety expert, if unsure.
