CHIN STRAP
Depending on the various versions and the
country concerned, your SHARK Evo-ES helmet
is equipped 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 cri-
tical 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 adjus-
ting buckle (Figs. A, B, C and D). Choose your
SHARK Evo-ES 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 discom-
fort 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
buckle. 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.
