FAQs
What is the primary purpose of a HANS device?
A HANS (Head and Neck Support) device is a safety system designed to significantly reduce the risk of severe head and neck injuries in motorsport accidents by limiting the backward and forward motion of the head.
Who is the Hans III Youth HANS Device designed for?
It is specifically designed for younger racers with collar sizes between 12.5" and 14.5", suitable for upright seating positions in junior racing categories.
What does SFI Approved mean?
SFI Approved signifies that the product has met or exceeded the performance and safety standards set by the SFI Foundation, a recognized body for motorsports safety equipment.
How do I clean my Hans III Youth HANS Device?
Gently clean the device with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Can this device be used in any racing car?
This youth device is optimized for upright seating positions with a 20-degree recline. It may not be suitable for vehicles with significantly reclined seats. Always check specific racing series regulations.
What is the weight of the Hans III Youth HANS Device?
The device weighs approximately 800g, making it very lightweight for enhanced comfort.
How do the sliding tethers improve performance?
Sliding tethers allow for a greater range of natural head movement while still providing restraint in a crash, enhancing driver comfort and situational awareness.
Troubleshooting
Device feels too tight or too loose around the neck.
Re-measure the driver's collar size. Ensure it falls within the 12.5" to 14.5" range. Adjust the fit as per the manufacturer's instructions for the specific helmet and HANS posts.
Tethers feel restrictive during movement.
Verify that the tethers are correctly attached to the helmet posts and are not twisted or snagged. Ensure the helmet fit is correct, as an improperly fitted helmet can affect tether movement.
Device does not feel secure on the shoulders.
Confirm that the device is correctly positioned over the driver's shoulders and that the seat belts are routed properly through any available channels on the device, if applicable.
