TAKING OFF THE HELMET

2.1 With the helmet on and the strap securely fastened, try to take the helmet off as shown in
figure (A). In case of accident the different forces at stake and their various directions may
result in helmet rotations or they may even cause the helmet to slip off if it is not securely
fastened.
2.2 The helmet should not rotate nor move on the head and should not slide off. Should the
contrary happen, adjust strap length or change helmet size. Repeat test.

RETENTION SYSTEM

3.1 The retention system (strap) is factory-adjusted at a standard length. Before use, check that it is
correctly pre-adjusted.
3.2 Make sure the strap is properly fastened and tightened so as to keep the helmet firmly in place.
Anyway, before riding, make sure that the strap is well fastened under the chin, as close as possible
to the throat, but without being uncomfortable.
3.3 The correct strap tension should allow normal breathing and swallowing, but without leaving the
space of a finger between strap and throat.
WARNING
The button which may be present on the strap only prevent its end from flapping once the
strap has been fastened properly.
VISOR
- If the visor is damaged or deeply scratched causing reduced visibility, this means that the protective
treatment is probably damaged so the visor is to be replaced.
- The visor can be used for the intended helmet model only.
- Do not paint nor apply stickers.
