corners and pulling gently away from the helmet. Remove the clear lens
cover by pulling the retaining tabs away from the lens. Install the lens
cover replacement by reversing this procedure. (Make certain that the
lens cover frame is secure). We recommend replacing the frame after
five lens cover replacements — see the economical front lens holder kits.
2 Inside − Remove the inside lens cover by prying the lens up at the thumb-
nail opening located at the top center of the lens cover. Replace the lens
by gently bowing it in the center and inserting it, one end at a time into
the retaining clips located on the outside of the auto-darkening lens as-
sembly.

tabs while gently pushing the lens free. Remove the lens cover by sliding
it out of either side. Replace with the new cover lens and reinstall the as-
sembly in the helmet by reversing the above procedure.
