IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
The Chinstrap (8) must be positioned under your chin against your throat. Do not
position the Chinstrap (8) on your chin as in such a location the helmet can come
off in an accident resulting in serious consequences such as injuries or death.
It is ESSENTIAL that the Chinstrap (8) is securely fastened and correctly adjusted EVERY time the helmet is worn.
Failure to properly adjust the Chinstrap (8) may result in the helmet not fitting properly or even being thrown off in an
accident or impact, causing loss of some or all protection afforded by the helmet.
Never adjust the Chinstrap (8) when riding. During riding if you feel the Chinstrap
(8) loosening or loose, immediately stop riding and then adjust the Chinstrap (8)
before resuming your ride.
2.3. Assessing the Fit
A helmet must be correctly sized. A correctly fitted helmet should have a snug fit. If the helmet does not feel snug, it
is too big for you, and you should try a smaller size.
To assess the helmet fit, first try to rotate the helmet towards the rear to see if you can push the helmet off your head.
Next, try to push the helmet forwards and backwards to see if you can push the helmet off your head. It should be
impossible for you to turn the helmet from side to side without moving your head.
If the helmet starts to come off your head after any of the above attempts, then the helmet is either too large or the
Chinstrap (8) is not properly secured or tight enough. Do not use the helmet in this situation. Try another size or pull the
Chinstrap (8) tight until it is impossible for you to pull the helmet off your head.
Helmet Too Small – Using excessive force to pull the helmet onto your head is a sign that the helmet is too small.
With the helmet on your head, check for the feeling of strong pressure on a part or on all of your head. If you
experience strong pressure, a larger helmet must be selected instead.
Helmet Too Large – The following checks can help you identify if the helmet is too large. A helmet that is too large
will not provide protection, even if the Chinstrap (8) has been correctly fastened. The helmet is too large for you.
a) If you turn your head quickly left and right, and the helmet continues to move after your head has stopped turning.
b) If you have the sensation that the helmet is not touching, or only lightly touching the complete circumference of your
head (there should be firm contact all around your head).
c) If you can insert a finger between your forehead and the padding of the helmet.
3. VENTILATION SYSTEM
This helmet contains four ventilation points: Chin Vent (1a) and (1b), Chin Bar Vents (2), Top Vent (3) and Rear Spoiler (7).
Chin Vent (1a): is formed by two openings located in the front of the helmet, on the sides of the Shield Lock (6)
mechanism. Each Chin Vent has a grab point, to be used to open or close it. Air entering from this point will be
channeled towards the inner side of the Shield (4) for a de-mist action.
See Figure 6, page 5.
Chin Vent (1b): is a second ventilation point, located in the middle, just below the Shield Lock (6): this entrance is
always open, and air entering from this point will be channeled towards the inner side of the Shield (4) for a de-mist
action.
To close this ventilation point, the Chin Vent Rubber Tap (16) is provided, to be inserted in the holes.
See Figure 7, page 5.
Never try to open or close the second ventilation point when riding. During riding
if you need to close the second ventilation point, stop riding and insert the Chin
Vent Rubber Tap carefully before resuming your ride.
