WARNING!
Please obey all local traffic rules to prevent accidents.
This helmet should not be used by children while
climbing or doing other activities when there is a risk
of strangulation/hanging if the child gets trapped with
the helmet.
Ventilation holes may allow harmful objects, such as
sticks, stones or insects, to pass through the inside of
the helmet.
Do not modify or remove any original part of the
helmet (except replaceable spare parts).
You should always fasten your buckle and tighten your
chin strap before every ride. Make sure that helmet is
correctly fitted and snugged to your head.
The maximum temperature at which the helmet may
be exposed to is 50ºC (112ºF). Replace your helmet after
exposure to higher temperatures.
WEARING YOUR HELMET
HELMET FITTING
HELMET SELECTION
The helmet can only protect if it fits well. You should try
different sizes and choose the size which feels secure
and comfortable on the head. Check TABLE 4 to confirm
the correct area to measure your head.
HELMET POSITION
After choosing the right size put the helmet on your
head in the correct position but do not fasten the
buckle. A good fit is snug, but not tight.
ADJUSTING THE RETENTIONS SYSTEM - STRAPS (TABLE
5)
1. Adjust the strap tension so the strap fits snug by
pulling the strap end through the buckle to either
tighten or loosen in the adjusters as needed.
2. Open the adjuster to adjust the strap length. Do not
forget to lock the adjuster afterward.
3. For models with chin padding make sure that the
padding is correctly placed under your chin and
fastened.
ADJUSTING THE REAR ADJUSTER (TABLE 6)
A TYPE ADJUSTER . TABLE 6A: Start by opening
the regulation system (rotate the mechanism
anticlockwise), put the helmet on your head and
close the system, adjusting it (rotate the mechanism
clockwise). To verify if the regulation system is correctly
adjusted, shake your head slightly with the retention
system opened - the helmet should not fall from your
head.
B TYPE ADJUSTER . TABLE 6A: Start by opening the
regulation system (press the locking buttons and open
the mechanism), put the helmet on your head and
close the system, adjusting it. To verify if the regulation
system is correctly adjusted, shake your head slightly
with the retention system opened - the helmet should
not fall from your head.
NOTE: You can adjust the height of the rear adjuster
in some Polisport helmets. This feature will improve
the helmet fitting and at the same time increase your
comfort.
Check TABLE 6B to confirm if your helmet has this
feature.
ADJUSTING THE BUCKLE (TABLE 7)
QUICK-RELEASE BUCKLE - TABLE 7A
Your helmet uses a simple, quick-release buckle
retention system that, once adjusted, can be opened
and closed without changing the adjustment. For
removing the helmet just press both sides of the quick-
release and pull the buckle apart.
MAGNETIC BUCKLE - TABLE 7B
Some Polisport helmets use a FIDLOCK® MAGNETIC
BUCKLE. This means the locking of the helmet is made
simpler. This anti-pinch buckle has an intuitive magnet
guide to connect using only one hand and with your
gloves on.
Insert the right-hand side into the left-hand side,
according to TABLE 7B.
Make sure the buckle is correctly fastened.
Listen for a click as the buckle engages.
Attempt to pull the buckle apart with the chinstrap. It
should not come apart.
For removing the helmet, just slide the left-hand side
over and pull the buckle apart.
FRONT VISOR
Some of the Polisport helmets provided with visors
include plastic caps to cover the mounting holes when
the visor is removed.
Check TABLE 2A and 2C for the correct mounting
procedure and for the visor and plastic caps.
CAUTION: The mounting sockets in the helmet can be
enlarged through overuse, which can cause the visor to
be loose or come off unintentionally.
NOTE: Some visor models may be attached using
Velcro or even screws. Check TABLE 2B for the correct
mounting procedure.
ATTENTION
1. The straps should not cover your ears.
2. The excess strap should be secure using the rubber
"O'Ring" - TABLE 8A.
3. The buckle must be away from the chin bone - TABLE
8B.
