To store helmet in a dry place at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
When not in use or during transportation, the helmet should be stored
such that it is out of direct sunlight, away from chemical, abrasive substance
and cannot be damage by physical contact with hard surfaces.
Assuming that the shell is stored in above suggested conditions and visually
checked occasionally, there should be no problem with shelf life. However,
after 3 years of storage, it is strongly recommended the batch be tested
before issuing for use.
It is recommended that safety helmets should be cleaned regularly. Clean
the helmet and suspension with mild detergent and lukewarm water. Removal
of harness from the helmet facilitates washing. The use of paints, solvents,
chemical, adhesives, hot water, or harsh abrasives are not advisable.
Have the sweat band cleaned regularly or replaced. All components of the
helmet shall be visually inspected at least weekly for signs of damage,
rough treatment or unauthorized alterations and withdrawn from service
immediately.
Excessive discolouration of shell or weathering of the surface indicates
a loss of strength. Under normal circumstances the helmet should provide
adequate protection for up to 1 year from day of wear.
