TO REMOVE/REPLACE BASE PLATES

To remove base plates, remove shield and holders, remove the two screws
from each plate with a flat blade screwdriver or a coin. Remove plates
from helmet shell.
To replace the base plates, with the parts off the helmet, align the shield
on the base plates as if the shield was in the fully open position, then
rotate the shield downward in relationship to the base plates to the
equivalent of the fully closed position ensuring that the white spring clip
section of the plate is fully home in the sliding slot of the shield. Position
the shield/base plates assembly on the helmet to approximate the shield
in fully closed position. The plates' screw holes will be over the threaded
screw receptacles in the helmet. Install the two screws through each base
plate into the helmet leaving them slightly snug, but not fully tightened.
Push on the front of the shield to bring it fully home against the eyeport
trim. While still pushing on the shield to keep it tight against the helmet,
fully tighten the base plate screws. It may be necessary to do one side
at a time, with a "smoothing" pressure from the shield center toward
each base plate and tightening each in turn for best results. Move the
shield to fully open position and remove it. The holders cannot be properly
reinstalled if the shield is left in place. Reinstall the holders, then, reinstall
the shield as per previous instructions.
NOTE: The Axces-2 uses the "SAI-2" shield base plate type, which is
different from that of other models, and not interchangeable with other
base plate types.
