Micrometric Chin Strap - BRP EXOME User Manual

B. THE HELMET

5. MICROMETRIC CHIN STRAP

The retention system of the EXOME 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
When adjusting the strap, make sure that the helmet cannot be pulled off
in a forward direction with the chinstrap closed.
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
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
Closing the comfort pad of the chinstrap alone will not provide adequate
protection. The chinstrap must always be fully fastened.
WARNING
Never open the chinstrap while riding.
