Liberator® Adaptive Suspension Rail Mount User Guide
For Team Wendy 2.0 & 3.0 Rails
This guide provides instructions for using the Liberator Adaptive Suspension Rail Mount with Team Wendy Exfil Rails 2.0 and 3.0, commonly found on Exfil ballistic and bump helmets. The mounting technique is applicable to both top and back rails on the 2.0 rail, and only on the back rails of the 3.0 rail.
Note: For use with Liberator HP 2.0, Liberator IV, and Liberator V models manufactured after 2/2021.
IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE USE
Follow instructions carefully. Retain for future reference.
The Safariland logo, a stylized red 'S', is present.
I. PREPARATION
Items Needed:
- Liberator Headset
- Team Wendy Rail Mount Arms (x2)
- Scotch Tape
- Small Flat Head screwdriver
It is recommended to perform this procedure on a flat, clean surface or workbench.
Remove any suspension attached to the earcup. Follow the instructions for the adaptive attachment system found in the base headset instructions.
The following items are depicted: a Liberator headset, two rail mount arms, a roll of tape, and a screwdriver.
Diagrams show the removal of the headband suspension and the rotation of the earcup connection points.
II. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE LANDMARKS ON THE RAIL ARM
- Center Connection: The round disk with the Safariland/TCI logo, approximately the size of a nickel. It has a flared edge, acting as the back of the mount. This is crucial for correct earcup rotation.
- Earcup Connection Bracket: The openings face upwards.
- Left/Right Identification: An 'L' or 'R' is embossed in the aluminum on the inside of the bracket to identify the correct side for your helmet.
- Mount Disks: The mount consists of three disks: top, middle, and bottom. It is shipped approximately 75% tightened from the factory. Keeping the disks together during attachment is key.
- Bottom Disk: Features a T-Nut and two guide "pins" that slide into the rail slot. The T-Nut tension secures the assembly to the rail. Locktight is applied to the T-Nut.
- Middle Adjustment Mechanism: Located under the top disk, this "ladder"-like mechanism provides forward/backward adjustment (or up/down on a TW 2.0 top rail). It's a tight friction attachment.
III. ATTACH THE MOUNT
Helmet Mount Attachment Instructions:
- Using scotch tape, secure the three disks of the mount together tightly. Apply tape to three sides for maximum effectiveness. This maintains assembly integrity while loosening the T-Nut.
- With the disks taped, loosen the screw by turning the screw head while holding the T-Nut. DO NOT unscrew the T-Nut completely.
- Create enough gap between the T-Nut and the base of the bottom disk to slide the assembly into the large opening at the bottom of the rail slot.
- The guide pins will assist in positioning the mount correctly within the slot.
- Pull up on the mount to create tension on the T-Nut. You may need to rotate the T-Nut to align it perpendicularly with the slot.
- Tighten the screw while maintaining upward tension. DO NOT overtighten, as the polymer can strip easily.
- Make minor position adjustments. For back rails, a mid-position is usually optimal. Tighten to hand-tight.
- Remove the scotch tape. Unlock the mount arms and check for stability.
- The ratchet system is designed to be tight; initial unlocking may require effort. This ensures a firm earcup seal. Mount your earcups to the brackets, referring to the headset instructions.
- Adjust the forward/rearward earcup position (or up/down on a 2.0 rail top mount) using the "ladder" adjustment mechanism to your preference.
- Route the earcup-to-earcup wire under the helmet cover or Velcro to the inside of the helmet shell to protect it from damage.
- Perform a final fit and function test before operational use.
- For travel or packing, remove the earcups, place them in the shell, unlock and rotate the rail mount arms upwards onto the shell, and lock them in place to protect the headset and mounts from damage.
