Instructions for Placing Morning Pride Hook Fastener Tape

Morning Pride hardhats (NFES 0116, NSN 8415-01-597-6005 full brim yellow) and (NFES 0117, NSN 8415-01-567-6013 cap style yellow) come with hook fastener tape (Velcro). You are required to apply three 1 inch wide by 2 inches long tape strips to your hardhat to secure the Face and Neck Shroud (NFES 1274, NSN 8415-01-483-6075). Details for correct placement of the tape strips follow.

With the inside of the hardhat facing you and the front brim pointing downward, plan to place tape strips inside the hardhat at 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and 8 o'clock (figure 1). The rear tape strip can be placed near the inner edge of the hardhat, but the two side tape strips need to be placed about 1 inch below the inner edge to clear the suspension attachment components (figure 2).

Figure 1—Place tape strips inside the hardhat at 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and 8 o'clock.

Figure 2—Place the two side tape strips about 1 inch below the inner edge to clear the suspension attachment components.

Step 1—Place one tape strip horizontally inside the hardhat near the inner edge on the rear. Insert the suspension system into the hardhat.	Step 2—Attach the center loop tab (Velcro) of the shroud to the rear hook tape strip, stretch the sides around, and tuck the shroud material into the hardhat between the shell and the suspension system.
Step 3— Locate the approximate placement of the side tape strip. Attach the side tape strip far enough below the inner edge of the hardhat to clear the suspension pieces.	Step 4—Repeat step 3 for the other side of the hardhat. When fully attached, the face and neck shroud hangs properly (figure 3).
