INSTRUCTION FOR USE
1. General Information
According to the current technological standards, this helmet represents
the best possible protection for your head against external adverse ef-
fects. It can, however, never guarantee complete prevention of injuries.
This helmets fulfil the RfU VG1 01.40 2014-12 and the EN 1078. All hel-
mets correspond with the European Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and bear
the CE marking. Within the scope of this standard, helmets are tested
for shock absorption, slipping, chin strap strength and coverage zones.
2. Selecting the right helmet size
A helmet can only protect you if it fits properly. Measure your head cir-
cumference at the widest point and then select the right size. The sizes
of these helmets are found on a label inside the helmet. The helmet must
feel safe and comfortable on your head. Try out different helmets; you will
notice initial differences straight away. Look in the mirror - your helmet
should suit you too.
3. Altering the size adjustment system
A good fit is a prerequisite for the best possible protection. This is why
the helmet is equipped with the QuickSafe adjustment system. The head
ring size can be adjusted by turning the adjustment wheel. If you turn the
wheel in the „-" direction, the head ring tightens and releases when turned
in the „+" direction (see figure 2).
4. Correct positioning
Always position the helmet horizontally on your head so that your fore-
head is protected but your vision is not impaired. Your helmet should not
be positioned towards the back of your head either (see figure 1).
5. Tight fit
You can check your helmet for a tight fit by shaking your head lightly with
the chin strap open. The helmet may not slip. An optimal fit is necessary
so that the helmet fulfils its safety function 100%.
6. Strap adjustment
Close the clip (see figure 3). Adjust the length of the chin strap by pulling
on the outer straps.
The chin strap should be close-fitting but not restrict breathing or swal-
lowing.
