Cleaning, Storage and Replacement
Clean the hard hat and suspension with mild soap and lukewarm water. Do not
use paints, solvents chemicals, adhesives, gasoline or like substances on this
hat. The impact resistance and other protective properties of the hat may be
destroyed by such substances. These dangerous conditions may not be apparent
or readily detectable by the user.
This helmet does not have an indefinite service life. Conditions found in many
work environments, such as exposure to ultraviolet light, temperature
extremes, chemical exposure, and wear and tear from daily use will reduce the
protective properties of the helmet over time.
Storage: Store helmet in a clean, dry environment not over 49° C (120°
F). Do not store in direct sunlight.
Replacement Recommendations: It is recommended that the suspension be
replaced every 12 months, and the hard hat shell be replaced every 2 – 5
years. Please refer to your company guidelines to see if your employer has a
specific replacement program.
WARNING
Hard hats are designed to provide limited protection to the head by reducing
the force of falling objects striking the top of the hard hat shell. While
limited protection is provided in other parts of the shell, this hard hat was
not designed to provide front, side or rear impact protection. Avoid contact
with electrical wires. NEVER ALTER OR MODIFY THE SHELL OR SUSPENSION SYSTEM.
ALWAYS USE DUO SAFETY REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Inspect your hard hat shell and suspension regularly. Check for cracks, frayed
straps and any signs of damage before each use. Replace the hard hat
immediately if you notice any signs of wear, damage, abuse or environmental
degradation. If the hard hat has sustained a forcible blow (impact), dispose
of it immediately, even if damage is not visible. Failure to follow these
warnings could result in death or serious injury.
