Choose your SHARK RIDILL helmet and attach
the holding system. When the “Precise Lock” is
adjusted to the medium position, the chin strap
must be correctly tensioned under the chin to
hold the helmet firmly without causing you any
discomfort or pain.
To fasten the chin strap, all you have to do is to
thread the tongue into its place on the buckle until
tension is perfect (Fig. E). The tongue connects and
is automatically blocked.
To release the chin strap, you have to pull on the
lever (Fig. F) and remove the tongue from the buc-
kle. Although the notched tongue enables you to
change the adjustment precisely on each use, it is
important to check frequently that the adjustment
of the strap length is correct.
WARNING!
Never ride with the chin strap loose
or insufficiently tightened. Even though the
interior padding gives you the impression of being
held, your helmet risks coming off in a fall.
Never apply lubricating or acid products or grease or
solvents to the chin strap buckle parts.
WARNING!
Never use the strap loop to
secure your helmet to your head. In order to
be properly fastened, you must thread the strap
through the double-D-rings. Failure to properly
use the double-D-rings will cause your helmet
to become dislodged during an accident, leaving
your head completely unprotected and resulting
in severe head injury or death. Try to pull down
on the chin strap with your fingers. If the strap
loosens in any way, you have not properly tightened
the chin strap with the double-D rings.
Repeat the steps above. Never ride with the chin strap
loose, improperly fastened or improperly positioned.
Even though the comfort padding gives you the
impression that the helmet is securely held in place,
it will come off in an accident, leaving your head
completely unprotected.
If you have any doubt concerning the fastening
system of your helmet, do not use the helmet. Contact
your dealer for assistance.
DOUBLE-D RING
A - Slide the long part of the chin strap through
the two D rings, positioning the comfort pad correctly
between the chin strap and your neck.
B - Then bring the end of the chin strap
back through the lower of the two D rings
as shown in the diagram.
C - Pull the strap until you feel resistance from
the strap and it is held in place under your chin
without being too tight, so that you have no
difficulty in breathing.
D - Slide the free end of the chin strap into the
plastic strap loop on the comfort padding, in order
to prevent the strap from fluttering in the wind.
