PRODUCT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Fitting
To provide safe protection, this helmet must be adapted to the
head size of the user. The safety helmet must be adjusted to
head size in such a way so that it cannot shift or slip off when
the chin strap has been tightened. This is the only way to ensure
protection from the helmet. The helmet is only secure when the
chinstrap is closed, the straps are pulled taught, and adjust-
ments have been made to fi t individual head size. The straps may
not cover the ears and the closure may not rest on the chin. No
pressure should be exerted on the larynx when the chinstrap is
closed. The helmet should always be horizontal on the user's
head in order to also protect the forehead.
