9.3.2.10 Reattach the cape to the helmet by following
the instructions in Section 9.4.
9.4 Removing and Replacing the Outer Cape
9.4.1 To ensure correct reattachment of the cape and
attachment band, refer to the cross section in Figure 6.
Note that the cape retaining spring is between the
helmet retaining grooves, and the band extends over
both rims.
9.4.2 When the cape becomes soiled or requires
replacement, it can easily be removed as follows:
9.4.3 Push the release lever on the cape attachment
buckle as shown in Figure 7. While pushing the lever,
pull the tensioning strip out of the buckle, and remove
the attachment band.
9.4.4 Detach the cape from the helmet.
9.4.5 Install the cape by stretching it over the lower
helmet rim, so the cape spring rests between the ridges
as shown in Figure 6. Position the cape so the back
seam aligns with the center of the back of the helmet.
Figure 6
9.4.6 Place the attachment band over the cape as
shown in Figure 6. When correctly positioned, the buckle
is on the window hinge side of the helmet, and the
tensioning strip points toward the front.
9.4.7 Ratchet the buckle to tighten the band, making
sure the cape and band remain in position as the band is
tightened.

9.5 Removing and Replacing the Inner Collar
9.5.1 The inner collar controls air escape from the
helmet and prevents ingress of dust.
9.5.2 The elastic properties of the collar provide a
snug fit around the user’s neck. The inner collar must be
replaced before it is stretched to the point where it no
longer fits snugly on the user’s neck. The collar unzips
from the outer cape for replacement or washing. See
Section 8.2 for cleaning instructions.
