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
top, front, back, left and right sides of the hard hat. This is NOT an
ANSI/CSA Type II hard hat.
• DO NOT expose suspension and padding to open flame.
• ELECTRICAL WARNING: Avoid areas where the chance of electrical
shock exists. Non-vented versions meet Class E requirements by
providing limited electrical protection. Class C vented models provide
NO electrical protection.
• 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, 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.
• Exposure to direct sunlight, corrosive environments, and/or extreme
temperatures below -40°F (-40°C) or above 120°F (49°C) can lessen
the ability of the hard hat to withstand 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.
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,
chalky appearance, 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 may
reduce the protection you receive from this hard hat.

bracket16 approximately 90 degrees to lock into place. Always
match the settings on the left and right sides to prevent the
suspension from sitting at an angle.
STEP 3: 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
hard hat’s ability to perform its function optimally. Check with a
