MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS: Read the instructions carefully before
using the helmet; the failure to observe the above could reduce the safety
offered by the helmet. The manufacturer and/or the distributor cannot accept
any liability in the event of an accident resulting in personal injury or even
death due to improper use of the helmet. This helmet is designed to absorb
the energy of an impact through partial distribution or damage to essential
components. This helmet should only be used for the activity it is certified for
(see marking). The ZENITH PL helmet is approved for mountaineering and it's
certified according to EN 12492. The CE certification procedure was carried out
by notified body number 0426, Italcert Viale Sarca, 336 20126 Milan - Italy.
CAUTION: The helmet cannot provide full protection against injury. In
particular, it is important to remember that no helmet can protect the head from
the forces generated by violent impacts. Following a violent impact even if the
damage is not visible replace the helmet, as it may have exhausted its ability to
absorb further impacts and provide the expected protection. The helmet object
of this manual is a type II category Individual Protection Device and as such
was subjected to EC-type examination procedure pursuant to Article 10 of the
European Directive 89/686/EEC, and subsequent amendments.

should be positioned so as not to cover the ears, the buckle must be located
away from the jawbone and the straps and buckle together must be adjusted
in such a way as to be both comfortable and close fitting. With the chin strap
fastened and correctly adjusted, always check that the helmet does not squeeze
the head nor moves freely back and forth (see Fig. 1).
HELMET ADJUSTMENTS: Wear the helmet and adapt the size by turning the
rear wheel (clockwise to tighten the size and counter-clockwise to enlarge it) or
simply (only for models equipped) by drawing the two quick-closing elements
to obtain the desired tension (Fig. 2). Position the size adjustment system in
the nuchal area as shown (Fig. 3), tilting it and adjusting it in height. Fasten the
chinstrap by inserting one buckle strap into the other until it clicks into place
(Fig. 4a). Pull the chin strap to check that the buckle is locked (Fig. 5). Adjust the
