IMPORTANT
Even under ideal conditions, an accident can happen, a minor impact at
speeds less than 13 miles per hour can cause serious head injuries.
Common sense dictates that you need protection. No helmet can protect
the user against all impacts. Open face helmets o ers no protection of
the chin in the event of an impact. Only use the helmet when riding with
a closed visor.
INSURING PROPER FIT
A helmet should be snug but not too tight, once it is seated on your head
tighten the chin strap, position it well back against your throat it should
be tight enough so that you cannot place your ngers between the strap
and your throat, but breathing and swallowing should not be impaired.
Once securely fastened, move the helmet side to side, then up and down
to ensure that your skin movement is the same as that of the helmet, if it
slips at all try a smaller size. Attempt to roll the helmet o your head by
rmly pulling upward on the rear of the helmet. You should not be able
to remove a correctly tting helmet in this manner.
BEFORE YOU SET OUT
Always check the face shield screws on both sides of the helmet before
riding, it can be very dangerous if these parts come loose during riding.
If necessary tighten them. Never ride with a shield open. Do not use a
tinted face shield when riding at night or in other conditions of poor
visibility. Always fasten your chin strap before heading out. REMEMBER:
helmets reduce your ability to hear sounds, especially at night speeds.
Sudden temperature variations can cause unexpected misting of your
shield and loss of visibility. Be aware of how your perception of trail
conditions is a ected.
CARING FOR YOUR HELMET
Your helmet may be damaged and rendered ine ective by petroleum and
petrochemical products, cleaning agents, paints, adhesives etc. Without
the damage being visible to the user. Use only the following materials to
clean your helmet: mild soap and water and automotive wax or polish for
the outer shell. After cleaning interior, rinse with a damp cloth and let dry
at room temperature, high heat will damage the liner as will strong
solvents and gasoline products. It is a good idea to keep your helmet in a
secure place when you are not using it. Visors should not be excessively
cold when they are being re tted otherwise they may crack.
