ProLite Welding Helmet

SECTION 6: Harness Adjustment

Prior to use, the Welding Helmet must be adjusted for maximum comfort and protection. The Helmet should be adjusted such that it
is effectively positioned over the eyes and face to ensure adequate protection and comfort whilst welding. Please refer to the Harness
adjustment instructions below.
ADJUSTING THE FIT OF THE HELMET
1. The overall circumference of the headband can be made larger or smaller by rotating the knob on the back of the headband. This
can be done whilst wearing the helmet and allows just the right tension to be set to keep the helmet firmly on the head without
it being too tight.
2. If the headband is sitting too high or too low on your head, adjust the strap which passes over the top of your head. To do this
release the end of the band by pushing the locking stud out of the hole in the band. Slide the two portions of the band to a
greater or less width as required and push the locking stud through the nearest hole.
Test the fit of the headband by lifting up and closing down the helmet a few times while wearing it. If the headband moves while
tilting, re-adjust it until it is stable.
ADJUSTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HELMET AND THE FACE
3. To adjust the distance from the welder's eyes to the filter lens adjust the two horizontal adjustments located left and right of the
harness assembly.
ADJUSTING THE VIEW ANGLE POSITION
4. To adjust the viewing angle position, release the two tabs from the notches on each side to adjust the angle up or down.
