C. THE HELMET
Important:
The C3 Pro's chin bar mechanism is equipped with a safety
feature which prevents the chin bar from opening of its own
accord in the event of a fall, so when opening it you should
also grip the chin bar with one hand.
Closing the chin bar
1. To close the chin bar, pivot it down
with one hand until both locks
audibly engage.
Important:
Each time you close the chin bar, check that the locks have
engaged properly by pressing the chin bar upwards.
Tip:
When using the additional adjustable wind defl ector, locking
the chin bar is easier if you grip the chin pad underneath
with a fi nger of your other hand to help you ease the chin
bar over your chin.
Caution:
Never ride with the chin bar raised!
10. CHINSTraP WITH MICro-loCk raTCHET FaSTENEr
The C3 Pro 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 chinstrap
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 fi ts fi rmly but comfortably
under your chin and fi x the end of the strap using the retaining
loop with comfort pad.
Caution:
When adjusting the strap, make sure that the helmet cannot
be pulled off in a forward direction with the chinstrap closed
Caution:
Check the adjustment of the chinstrap length at regular
intervals (see section E.2.).
Opening and closing
To close the chinstrap fastener, slide the ratchet tongue step by
step into the locking buckle. If you fi nd that the chinstrap fi ts
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 fi rmly 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.
