Installation
NOTE
Be sure to install the left earcup assembly on the left side of the helmet (as worn and the right earcup on
the right side). The flange of the left earcup assembly (hidden when the earseal is installed) is marked
"TL" (top left); the flange of the right earcup assembly is marked "TR" (top right). Ensure that the earpad
is installed; lift the inner edge of the earpad at either end of the earcup until you locate the "TL" or "TR"
mark on the flange. The "TL" or "TR" mark should be positioned toward the top of the helmet when the
earcup is installed.
CAUTION
Do not bend earcup flange excessively; flange may break.
When installing earcup into retention, be careful not to tear retention with screwdriver or awl.
1.
Install and secure earpad as follows: Locate the rim on the underside of the earpad. Place either end of this rim
over the earcup tab closest to the "TL" or "TR" mark on the earcup flange. Working from that end, stretch the remainder
of the rim over the flange, leaving the remaining earcup tabs exposed. When the entire rim is stretched over the flange,
remove the end of the rim from the earcup tab.
2.
Moving retention "V" strap aside, position replacement earcup into retention assembly so that retention is
between raised earcup tabs.
