WARNING Be sure to read these instructions. ●This helmet is designed for bicycle use only. Never use the helmet for purposes or activities other than bicycle riding. ●The helmet should be worn in a way that it protects your forehead, with the edge just above your eyebrows, and never pushed far over the back of your head. Wear the helmet so it is level from front to back. ●No helmet can protect the wearer against all injuries or foreseeable impacts. ●Before riding a bicycle, make sure to adjust the helmet so it fits your head correctly. The strap should be positioned not to cover the ears, the buckle positioned away from the jawbone, and the strap and buckle adjusted to be both comfortable and secure. ●Your helmet is effective as protection only when it is worn properly. You should try different sizes to choose the size which feels secure and comfortable on your head at time of purchase. ●Please handle the helmet with care. The helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction of the liner and its damage may not be visible. DO NOT sit on it, drop it on the floor or otherwise cause impact. ●If subjected to a severe impact, the helmet should be discarded and destroyed. ●Wipe the helmet with common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water. Never use any petroleum, thinner, benzine, hot water above 50° C/122ºF or saline water. ●Do not leave the helmet in the direct sunlight or where the temperature may surpass 50ºC/122ºF such as in a car or near a heater, and/or avoid leaving in a humid place for a long time. Doing so will affect the materials and the performance of the helmet will diminish. ●Do not paint the helmet. Paints may reduce the original protective performance of the helmet considerably. ●Do not modify the helmet. In order to fully maintain the performance of the helmet, do not attempt to take it apart or change it in any manner that involves making holes in it or cutting it (or any of its parts) other than as recommended by the manufacturer. ●This helmet should not be used by children while climbing or doing other activities when there is a risk of strangulation/hanging if the child gets trapped with the helmet.
