HELMET OWNER’S SAFETY MANUAL
Please read this manual before riding with your new helmet!
This manual and the sticker inside your helmet contain instructions and warnings about your
helmet. Carefully read and follow these instructions. Incorrect use or maintenance of your hel-
met could void your warranty and, most importantly, could result in serious injury or death. If
you are a parent or guardian and this helmet is for your child, please take the time to read this
manual and make sure that your child understands these instructions and warnings.
WARNING
Please note that no helmet is indestructible and will not prevent all head injuries. No helmet
can protect against all possible impacts, and serious injury or death can occur even while wea-
ring the helmet. Helmets can reduce or may prevent injuries, but even a low speed impact can
result in serious injury or death.
This helmet is intended solely for pedal cycling, skateboarding or roller-skating but even these
activities are inherently dangerous. See illustration 1. While no helmet can guarantee your safe-
ty, wearing a helmet, taking lessons, riding responsibly and within your skill level and abilities,
as well as using common sense, can all reduce the risk of serious head injuries. This helmet is
not intended for motorsport, moped or similar activities, and doing so shall void the warranty.
See illustration 2.
Intended usage:
WARNING
Please note that it is necessary for children to remove their helmets before entering playgrounds
or while climbing trees, walls or other structures. This helmet should not be used by children
while climbing or doing other activities when there is a risk of strangulation/hanging if the child
gets trapped with the helmet. This product is not a toy. It is sports equipment and is designed
and intended for sports. Your helmet is intended to reduce the harmful effects of a blow
to the head. Accordingly the helmet must fit properly, be worn properly and be taken
care of properly.
WARNING
For maximum protection the helmet must be fitted and attached properly to the wearer’s
head in accordance with the manufacturer’s fitting instructions found below.
The helmet will only protect your head if it fits correctly and sits horizontally on your
head. If the helmet slips when the head is turned to the side then the helmet is the
wrong size. See Illustration 3:
• Make sure you wear the right size for optimum comfort and security.
• Start by positioning the helmet on your head so that the front is level with the back and
parallel to the ground.
• Do not pull the helmet over your forehead as this reduces your sight.
• Do not push the helmet towards the back of your head as this leaves your fore head unprotected.
• Adjust the helmet by using the head ring and straps described below.
• Check the adjustment before every ride.
If after adjustment the helmet does not fit properly, do not use the helmet.
Optimum fit:
Adjusting the head ring. See illustrations 4. The head ring tightens or loosens the helmet around
your head. It is adjustable.
Adjusting the straps:
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the lower jaw. See illustration 5. When
you try on the helmet for the first time, please adjust the straps so that they meet tightly and
comfortably beneath your ears. You adjust the straps by opening the triangular lock and then
locking it again when you have found the right position. See illustration 6. The lock on the
chin strap is child proof and must be secured properly before every ride. Listen for the “click”
to know it is properly fastened. See illustration 7.
