Helmet Replacement - HJC CS-R1 Owner's Manual

Helmet Replacement
jAWARNINGj Although your HJC Helmet is constructed with the best materials available to offer
a long-lasting product, it will eventually need to be replaced. Immediately replace
your helmet if:
• It has suffered an impact. Your helmet is only designed for ONE impact.
An impact may fracture the outer shell or compress the impact absorbing
liner. You may not be able to detect this damage. Any impact in a crash or
a drop from as low as 4 feet is enough to damage your helmet.
• The shell, lining, or retention system is damaged. The helmet shell,
the impact absorbing lining, and the retention system must be in good
condition to provide you with the most protection.
Even if your helmet has not been damaged, it needs to be replaced every 3 to 5 years depending
on how much you use it. Over time, UV rays and adhesive and component aging will damage
your helmet. Wearing a damaged helmet may increase your risk of serious injury or death in
an accident.
If you are unsure if you need to replace your helmet, contact HJC America before using your
helmet again.
