MESH COVER INSTALLATION PREP

DETACH FITBAND

Place your index nger behind the center of the Fitband Comfort Pad and carefully bend away from the Front EPP Pad as shown. Pinch the Fitband Comfort Pad and use your thumb to slide the pad sideways ½" towards the center of the helmet along the Front EPP Pad. Repeat on both sides until the pad is released from the key slots.

NOTE: DO NOT PULL THE FITBAND COMFORT PAD AWAY FROM THE FRONT EPP PAD OR YOU MAY BREAK THE FRONT EPP PAD KEY SLOTS.

SHROUD REMOVAL

NOTE: IF YOUR FRONT EPP PAD DOES NOT HAVE SHROUD SCREW ACCESS HOLES, YOU MUST FIRST DISASSEMBLE THE FRONT CHINSTRAP HARDWARE AND COMPLETELY REMOVE THE FRONT EPP PAD TO ACCESS THE SHROUD SCREWS.

Make sure the bungees are not attached to the Shroud. Remove the Shroud from your helmet using a screwdriver. Set aside the Shroud, Washers and T-Nuts. Save the shorter screws for later use without the Mesh Helmet Cover.

ATTACH SIDES OF HELMET COVER

Attach the sides of the Mesh Helmet Cover by aligning the Side Exterior Velcro of the Cover with the Side Exterior Velcro on the helmet as shown. Be sure to line up the bottom edges of the Cover with the top edges of the FAST Side Rails (ARCs). Repeat for both sides.

ATTACH FRONT VELCRO CIRCLES

Clean area with rubbing alcohol, then attach the remaining two Velcro circles to the target areas on the Front EPP Pad as shown.

RE-ATTACH SHROUD

1. Insert a screw from the inside of your helmet shell and mark where the hole should go on the helmet cover. Using a sharp object, make a small cut on in the cover where the screw pokes out. Remove the screw and repeat for the other two holes.
   
2. Align the Shroud with the existing 3-hole pattern on the front of your Helmet Cover and helmet shell. Insert a T-nut through the Shroud's top hole from the front (outside) of the helmet Cover, then helmet shell. Use your fingers to loosely attach a 1/2" screw from the inside of the helmet shell. Repeat for the remaining 2 holes. Finish by using a screwdriver to tighten all 3 screws from the inside of the shell, making sure the Shroud is securely fastened to the helmet.
   
   NOTE: TIGHTEN SCREWS UNTIL SECURED. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, THIS WILL CAUSE DEFORMATION TO HELMET SHELL AND COMPROMISE HELMET'S BALLISTIC CAPABILITIES.

SECURE FRONT OF COVER AND RE-ATTACH FITBAND

1. Using the Velcro tabs on the Mesh Helmet Cover, secure them to the inside of the Front Pad using the Velcro Circles from Step 4.
   
2. Re-attach the Fitband to the Front EPP Pad.
   

ATTACH BACK OF HELMET COVER

Pull the back of the Mesh Helmet Cover down. Align both back side edges with the back side edges of the FAST Side Rails (ARCs) as shown.

SECURE MESH HELMET COVER

1. Loosen the Rear Chinstrap Anchor T-Nut and slide the Rear Fitband Tab all the way back so that the corner of the helmet shell is exposed. Clean area with Rubbing Alcohol, then adhere a Velcro Circle to the exposed helmet shell corner as shown.
   
2. Fold the Mesh Cover's Rear Velcro Tab over the edge of the helmet shell and secure it to the newly placed Rear Velcro Circle. Cut off any excess Velcro on Cover's Tab.
   
3. Push the Rear Fitband Tab up and over the Cover's secured Velcro Tab as shown.
   
   Repeat Steps A-C for the opposite side, then tighten both Rear Fitband Screws.
