CHIN STRAP

Depending on the various versions and
the country concerned, yourSpartan RS 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 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» system with ratchets
enables making fine and accurate adjust-
ments to the helmet fit, thanks to the
extended length of its notched part.
At the time of purchase however, it is
essential to adapt the chin strap length to
your head shape. Modify the strap length
using the adjustment buckle (see Figs. A
through D).

Slip on your Spartan RS helmet and acti-
vate the locking system. When the «Precise
Lock» is set in intermediate position, the
chin strap must be tight enough under the
chin to provide firm support of the helmet,
yet without causing any discomfort or pain.
To lock the chin strap in place, simply insert
the tab into the designated slot on the
buckle until reaching the preferred level of
tension (see Fig. E). The tab automatically
engages and locks in place.
To unlock the chin strap, lift the lever arm
(Fig. F) and pull the tab out from the buckle.
Even though the notched tab allows for
fine-tuning upon each use, it is still impor-
tant to frequently verify the correct strap
length setting.
