WEARING YOUR AFX HELMET
While no helmet can protect the user against all possible forms of
impact, the following safety instructions will help you get the maximum
benefit and protection from your helmet.
1. To protect you as it is designed to do, your helmet must be the correct
fitted size; too big or too small may not be safe. A properly fitted helmet,
with the chinstrap fastened securely, will have a snug but comfortable
fit. You will feel an even pressure all over your head, with no gaps. The
helmet must not be so loose that it can rotate freely front or back so that
it could be removed with the chinstrap fastened.
2. The chinstrap must be securely fastened at all times do not ride with
the chinstrap not fastened correctly. Make sure it remains snug at all
times, except when you take it off of course.
3. Do not modify your helmet in any way and never attach anything
to your helmet with screws or any type of adhesive. To preserve the
integrity and effectiveness of your helmet, do not alter its internal or
external structure in any way.
