7.2  Adjusting the helmet suspension 

 

Figure 2: 

Helmet suspension 

The following steps must be taken to adjust the helmet suspension:  

(1) Remove the cape.

 

*  Open the buckle on the cape belt by pressing the small lever and pull-

ing the belt out. 

*  Remove the cape from the helmet. 

(2) Adjust the helmet sus-

pension.

 

Use the adjusting screw to adjust the helmet suspension to the operator’s 

head size. Turn the screw clockwise 

 to make the helmet suspension 

tighter; turn the screw counter-clockwise 

 to make the helmet suspen-

sion looser. 

(3) Adjust the chin strap. 

Slide the “buckle” on the chin strap to adjust it to the operator’s head size. 

(4) Reattach the cape. 

See 8.4. 

 

The helmet suspension ensures a sufficient distance between the head and helmet. It must be 

properly installed and adjusted to provide the protection and comfort that the helmet is designed 

to achieve.
