WARNING
Bullard helmets are constructed with high quality materials and workmanship. They are engineered to provide limited protection against head injuries, when properly adjusted for fit and
when worn by firefighters during normal fire fighting activities. They are not designed for direct contact with flames or molten metal, or for protection against hazardous chemicals, biological,
or radiological agents. Contact of these fire helmets with live wires should be avoided. NEVER ALTER OR MODIFY the helmet’s design or construction without explicit written instructions
from Bullard. Store helmets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Inspect your helmet and suspension system regularly, regardless of how often it is used. If you notice any sign
of wear, damage, abuse, or environmental degradation, replace the shell and/or suspension immediately. If the helmet has sustained a forcible blow (impact), it must be replaced, even if
there is no visible damage. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

Pre-Use Information
Marking Recommendation and Restrictions:
Use only accessory equipment of the type included in the original helmet or approved by Bullard. Using unauthorized accessories may dramatically change the performance of the helmet.
All helmet markings (e.g. front identification shields, title tapes, decals, retro-reflective trim, etc.) must either be supplied by a Bullard authorized fire service distributor or authorized for use
in writing by Bullard.
All helmet accessories (e.g. flashlight brackets, communications head sets, etc.) must be either supplied by a Bullard authorized fire service distributor or authorized for use in writing by Bullard.
Cleaning
Remove ear/neck protector, and headband. Clean inner and outer shells with mild soap or detergent. Wash the ear/neck protector, headband, and brow pad in warm, soapy water and air
dry at room temperature. Clean faceshields with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Users should not wear helmets that are not thoroughly cleaned and dried.
Contamination and Decontamination:
Special precautions must be taken if your protective helmet becomes contaminated with chemical or biological hazardous materials. The guidance for these precautions should be coordinated
with the appropriate (local, state, and federal) authorities having jurisdiction for hazardous materials (HAZMAT).
Contaminated helmet ensembles should be isolated, contaminate(s) identified, and bodily contact should be avoided. Avoid spreading the contamination to interior spaces of buildings or
vehicles, any living quarters, or personal belongings. If possible, seal the contaminated ensemble in a leak proof, sealable, air tight container. Disposal should be done in adherence to local,
state, and federal laws. If the helmet is to be reused, it MUST be decontaminated before reuse. Decontamination should be performed using procedures established by decontamination
professionals that will remove contaminate(s) while minimizing damage or compromise to the helmet. Failure to do so could result in increased risk of injury, illness, disease, or death.
