B. THE HELMET

5. MICROMETRIC CHIN STRAP

The retention system of the OXYGEN helmet comes with a ratchet fastener.
This locking system is easy to use and enables you to adjust the chinstrap
perfectly to your head every time you put the helmet on.
ADJUSTING THE CHIN STRAP
The length of the chinstrap is adjusted by increasing or reducing the length of
strap pulled through the metal buckles. Adjust the length of the chinstrap so
that it fits firmly but comfortably under your chin and fix the end of the strap
using the retaining loop with comfort pad.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
When adjusting the strap, make sure that the helmet cannot be pulled off in a
forward direction with the chinstrap closed.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Check the adjustment of the chinstrap length at regular intervals.
OPENING AND CLOSING
To close the chinstrap fastener, slide the ratchet tongue step by step into the
locking buckle. If you find that the chinstrap fits too loosely around your chin,
slide the ratchet tongue one step further into the locking buckle.
When adjusting the chinstrap, make sure that it rests firmly but not
uncomfortably around your chin. To open the chinstrap, pull the red ribbon on
the ratchet fastener upwards to release the locking buckle. Then pull the
ratchet tongue out of the locking buckle.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Never ride without making sure that the chinstrap is correctly fastened and
adjusted and properly positioned. If the chinstrap is not correctly adjusted or
fastened, the helmet could be displaced in the event of an accident.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Closing the comfort pad of the chinstrap alone will not provide adequate
protection. The chinstrap must always be fully fastened.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Never open the chinstrap while riding.
