D. PUTTING THE HELMET ON
AND TAKING IT OFF
Note:
Please note the information on the handling of the chin strap.
1. PUTTING THE HELMET ON AND TAKING IT OFF
1. Open the chinstrap.
2. Take hold of the lower ends of the chinstrap and pull these apart.
3. It will now be easy to put the helmet on.
4. Close the chin strap by threading the free end of the strap through the
double-D fastener, pull taut and fasten.
5. Make sure the chinstrap passes under the chin and fits firmly.
Note:
Check the correct position and length of the chin strap regularly.
2. TAKING OFF THE HELMET
1. Open the chin strap by pulling on the red lug of the double-D fastener
and pulling the strap out from the metal eyes.
2. Grasp the ends of the chinstrap and pull the chinstrap ends
apart.
3. The helmet can now be removed easily from the head.
Advice:
To avoid scratching any objects on which you place the helmet when
you take it off, we recommend closing the chinstrap after you have
taken the helmet off.

E. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY
For your safety, check the following points before every journey:
1. CHECKING THE HELMET
Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superficial scratches will not
impair the protective function of your helmet. In the case of more serious
damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking paint, etc.), the helmet should no
longer be used.
2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP
(WITH HELMET ON AND FASTENED)
1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.
2. Slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull.
If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is too long and needs to be
tightened.
If the chinstrap loosens when you pull it, it is not properly fastened.
Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it again. Repeat the
test.
3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it fits firmly against the
chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you.
Note:
Repeat the test after each adjustment.
Caution:
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The
chinstrap should fit correctly and should not become loose when pulled.
The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes loose
when pulled.
