CHIN STRAP

Depending on the various versions and the country
concerned, your SHARK SPARTAN helmet is equip-
ped with a chin strap with a "Precise Lock" rapid
buckle with a snap lock or one with a double-D
ring. Proper use of the chin strap is critical for
proper performance of the helmet. Never alter your
chin strap in any way. For example, never cut it or
add holes, or apply buttons, studs or other items to
your chin strap. During the life of your helmet, be
sure that the chin strap never suffers any type of
abrasion or cut, and that its total length does not
change. If it does, replace your helmet.
PRECISE LOCK
The "Precise Lock" snap lock system gives you
precise and accurate adjustment because of the
considerable length of its notched section.
However, it is essential on purchase to adapt the
length of the chin strap to your measurements.
Adjust the length of the strap using the adjusting
buckle (Figs. A, B, C and D).

Choose your SHARK SPARTAN helmet and attach
the holding system. When the "Precise Lock" is
adjusted to the medium position, the chin strap
must be correctly tensioned under the chin to hold
the helmet firmly without causing you any dis-
comfort or pain.
To fasten the chin strap, all you have to do is to
thread the tongue into its place on the buckle until
tension is perfect (Fig. E). The tongue connects and
is automatically blocked.
To release the chin strap, you have to pull on the
lever (Fig. F) and remove the tongue from the buc-
kle. Although the notched tongue enables you to
change the adjustment precisely on each use, it is
important to check frequently that the adjustment
of the strap length is correct.
WARNING! Never ride with the chin strap
loose or insufficiently tightened. Even though
the interior padding gives you the impression of
being held, your helmet risks coming off in a fall.
Never apply lubricating or acid products or grease
or solvents to the chin strap buckle parts.
