fumes are:
• Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease

10. Check for damaged parts. Before using any
helmet, any part that appears damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check

condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use
the helmet if any switch does not operate properly.
11. Replacement parts and accessories. When
servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can render helmet ineffective,
possibly causing eye damage, and will void the
warranty. Only use accessories intended for
use with this helmet. Approved accessories
are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
