not use without an intermediate lens. The respirator

9.3 Removing and Replacing Suspensions
9.3.1 Web Suspension with Sweatband
9.3.1.1 Remove and discard the old suspension by
extracting the plastic suspension tabs from the mounting
slots in the helmet shell.
9.3.1.2 Inspect and if necessary replace the chin strap
before installing the suspension. When correctly
installed, the chin strap is between the suspension and
helmet shell.
9.3.1.3 Inspect the metal, suspension clips located on
the helmet’s suspension mounts. Replace them if they
are loose or missing.
9.3.1.4 Place the suspension under the chin strap and
then secure the suspension by inserting the plastic tabs
into their respective mounts. The tabs must fully seat in
the mounts.
9.3.1.5 Try on the helmet for fit and adjust the
suspension by turning the adjustment knob clockwise to
decrease the size, or counterclockwise to increase the
size. The suspension fits head sizes 6.5 to 8.
9.3.1.6 Reattach the cape to the helmet by following the
instructions in Section 9.4.
9.3.2 Padded Suspension

backed, hook and loop fastener material. Remove the
side and middle pads by pulling them free of the hook-
fastener strips.
9.3.2.2 Remove the suspension web, by extracting the
plastic tabs from their respective mounting slots. While
holding the top pad in place, pull the webbing to
separate it from the top pad.
9.3.2.3 To remove the top pad, hold the air baffle
partition (Figure 8, Item 27) in place, and pull the pad to
separate it from the partition.
9.3.2.4 Inspect the chin strap, and if necessary replace
it before installing the suspension.
9.3.2.5 Inspect the metal suspension clips located on
the helmet’s suspension mounts. Replace them if they
are loose or missing.
9.3.2.6 Make sure the air baffle partition is correctly
located, before installing the top pad. Align the pad while
pressing it into place against the fastener strip.
9.3.2.7 Place the suspension web under the chin strap
and then secure the suspension by inserting the plastic
tabs into their respective mounts; the tabs with the stripe
on the strap go on the side mounts.
9.3.2.8 Align the middle pad so the elastic cord is
toward the back and the center of the pad is centered to
the suspension web. Press the pad to engage the
fastener strip, minor repositioning may be needed to fully
seat the pad.
9.3.2 9 The grey (standard) or blue (for smaller head
sizes) sides of the side pads are Velcro
®

are attached by pressing them onto the fastener strips.
The black side faces toward the inside of the helmet.
