Maintenance

WARNING! 

Do NOT use paint thinner, solvents, or hydrocarbon-type cleaners such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), gasoline, or kerosene on the helmet. These substances can cause damage that you cannot see.

Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.

Do NOT let the helmet fall to the ground or use the helmet as a support. Clean the helmet regularly so sufficient inspection can be done. Use a solution of MSA's Confidence Plus® Cleaning Solution (P/N 10009971 or 10032737) or mild soap and warm water to clean the helmet assembly and sweat band. Do NOT use detergents to clean the helmet. Keep the suspension clean to prevent skin irritation. MSA recommends that you replace the suspension after no more than 12 months of use and the shell after no more than 5 years of use.

Discard damaged equipment in accordance with local regulations. Remove the suspension, chin strap, light clips, and accessory hardware before you recycle the helmet shell.
