WARNING LABELS

There are two warning labels affixed to the inside of this hard hat.

Read, understand, and follow these instructions to ensure safe
operation. DO NOT REMOVE THESE LABELS.

WARNINGS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH.

• This hard hat provides LIMITED protection from small objects
striking the top of the hard hat.

• DO NOT expose directly to open flame. This hard hat is designed
to provide limited protection from indirect radiant heat of up
to 350°F (176°C) for limited periods of time. Frequent or long
exposure to temperature extremes could deteriorate product
performance (See MAINTENANCE section).

NOTE: Not all accessories that fit on this hard hat are

•

compatible with high-temperature environments. Check the
user manual for the particular accessory before use.

• DO NOT expose suspension and padding to open flame.

• ELECTRICAL WARNING: Avoid areas where the chance of electrical

shock exists. The Class G rating limits protection to up to 2kV.
Check with your safety supervisor prior use on the jobsite.

• If the hard hat has sustained an impact, dispose of it
IMMEDIATELY, even if damage is not visible.

• NEVER alter, puncture, modify or engrave the shell or the
suspension.

• DO NOT

use paints, solvents, chemicals, polish, oils, lubricants,
insecticides, adhesives, gasoline or like substances on this hard
hat – doing so can lessen the protection offered against impact and
penetration.

• DO NOT use this hard hat as a vehicular or recreational hard hat.

• DO NOT

store objects between the suspension and the shell, as the
hard hat will not function as intended and can lessen the protection
from impact and penetration.

MAINTENANCE

HARD HAT CLEANING AND STORAGE

• Clean the hard hat and suspension with mild soap and water only.
Rinse and wipe dry. Clean optional chin strap with damp cloth
only. Store in a cool place.

• See SWEATBAND AND TOP COMFORT PAD section of the
operating instructions (on other side) for additional maintenance
information.

MAINTENANCE

INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

Inspect the hard hat, including the suspension and shell, before
and after each use:

• Check the Hard Hat’s shell for any cracks, breakage, discoloration,
or any other damage, excessive wear or unusual condition. These
conditions may indicate reduced impact or penetration resistance
and the Hard Hat must be replaced IMMEDIATELY.

• The suspension and optional chin strap should be checked for cracks,
breaks, damaged stitching or any other damage, excessive wear or
unusual condition. If any of these conditions exist, the suspension

and optional chin strap must be replaced IMMEDIATELY.

• Always use genuine Klein Tools replacement parts. This product
works as a system, and use of unauthorized suspensions or
accessories may reduce the protection you receive from this hard hat.

USEFUL LIFE

SUSPENSION AND OPTIONAL CHIN STRAP: Must be replaced

after no more than 12 months of use.
ENTIRE HARD HAT: Entire Hard Hat should be replaced after

2 years of use, or no more than 5 years from the date of
manufacture, whichever comes first.

These are useful service life guidelines. Regular inspection as
detailed in the MAINTENANCE section above MUST be performed,
and may result in possible earlier replacement.

NOTE: This replacement schedule is a guideline that assumes
normal use and storage conditions for the hard hat. If the hard
hat is exposed to temperature extremes, persistent sunlight, or
chemicals, replacement may be required in a shorter time frame.

can further adjust the fit:

STEP 1: Separate the Outer Suspension Bracket
Center Suspension Bracket
Suspension Bracket

sides to prevent the suspension from sitting at an angle.

STEP 3: Secure the Outer Suspension Bracket

moving to the next step.

STEP 4: Verify the hard hat fits properly. Follow the steps in the
FITTING section to ensure proper fit. Ensure that accessories
you plan to use fit and function properly while maintaining the
