FITTING (FIG. B)
All hard hats come with suspension pre-installed at factory settings.
The suspension can be adjusted to ensure proper and secure fit to
your head for maximum protection. Follow the steps below:
STEP 1: Turn the Size Adjustment Knob
7
counterclockwise to
loosen the fit. Position the Rear Neck Pad
8
on the back of your
head, closer to the neck. Dress any bandana knots or ponytails over
the rear neck pad
8
.
STEP 2: Tighten by turning the Size Adjustment Knob
7
clockwise until the hard hat is comfortable and snug. Move your
head up, down and side-to-side gently, like you would normally,
and make sure the hard hat stays on. Make sure that the hard hat
is not angled forward or backward, but rests level on your head.
ADJUSTMENTS
If the hard hat does not fit properly at the factory settings, you
can further adjust the fit:
STEP 1: Separate the Outer Suspension Bracket
13a
from the
Center Suspension Bracket
13b
by pulling back gently on the Outer
Suspension Bracket
13a
to release the Center Bridge Tab
13c
. Do
this on all four Bracket locations before moving to the next step.
(FIG. C).
STEP 2: Determine which Bracket Key Slot
15
you wish to
reattach to. Using the slots deeper in the hard hat will move frame
higher on the head, and vice versa. Turn the Outer Suspension
Bracket
13a
approximately 90° to release the Bracket Key
14
from
the Bracket Key Slot
15
. Insert the Bracket Key
14
into the new
slot location and rotate the Outer Suspension Bracket
13a
back
approximately 90° to secure. Always match the settings on the
left and right sides to prevent the suspension from sitting at an
angle.
STEP 3: Secure the Outer Suspension Bracket
13a
by snapping
back the Center Bridge Tab
13c
in a total of four locations before
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
hard hat’s ability to perform its function optimally. Check with a
qualified safety expert if unsure.

and push upwards. This will release the Metal Anchor
16
from
the Rivet
17
in six locations (FIG. D). push on the Metal DO NOT

approximately 90° to release the Bracket Key
14
from the Key
Slot
15
.
Insert the Bracket Key
14
at the new slot location and rotate the

anchor. This could permanently damage the anchors and
straps, preventing them from performing as intended.
