Modifications to the helmet
The standard version of your helmet corresponds to the applicable standards
and must not therefore be modified or equipped with components
made by other firms.
Only use the accessories and spare parts approved by us.
The use of non conform components might cease the CE approval of your
helmet and can affect your claims against health insurance in case of an
accident.
Only wear your helmet completely assembled and do not use any removable
components separately.
Life and Maintenance of your Bullard Fire
Helmet
Your helmet is designed to absorb a certain amount of energy in the event of
an impact. In addition, the helmet offers protection against flames, sparks,
high temperature and liquid chemicals.
The helmet can be damaged or even destroyed as it protects against these
hazards.
After a hard impact you should replace your helmet IMMEDIATELY, even if
there is no visible damage on the outside of the helmet.
It should also be replaced if the helmet has been exposed to extreme heat
such as a flash-over.
You should NEVER use a damaged helmet.
It must be repaired – if possible – or be rendered unserviceable.
The length of your helmet’s service life is determined by the materials used
in its construction as well as the environment in which the helmet is used
and stored.
This firefighting helmet with its painted helmet shell of high-strength and
temperature-resistant composite exhibits excellent aging resistance and if
undamaged it does not undergo any changes by sunlight (UV radiation).
The life of the helmet is primarily limited by the effects of mechanical,
thermal and chemical stresses.
The composite used in your helmet is considered very resistant to these
stresses.
Furthermore, the helmet’s life is influenced by the amount and diligence of
care and maintenance.
The management of your fire department is responsible for deciding on the
time for removing the helmet from service.
Contact your local sales distributor or Bullard Europe directly if in doubt or to
check your helmet.
At regular intervals, conduct a check of the helmet shell, inner parts, straps
and accessories.
Warranty
Bullard provides a warranty for a 24 months period from the date of
purchase in respect to manufacturing and material faults. The helmet will be
repaired, replaced or credited at the discretion of Bullard. The helmet must
be sent to us carriage free as a precondition for claiming warranty; it must
not be modified and the damage must not have resulted from improper use.
Bullard is on no account liable for damage, failure in use or other indirect,
accidental, consequential or special costs, expenses or damages which could
arise for the buyer, even if Bullard has been informed of the possibility of
such damage.
