GB HELMET OWNER'S SAFETY MANUAL
Please read this manual before riding with your new helmet!
This manual and the sticker inside your helmet contain instructions and warn-
ings about your helmet. Carefully read and follow these instructions. Incorrect
use or maintenance of your helmet could void your warranty and, most im-
portantly, could result in serious injury or death. If you are a parent or guard-
ian and this helmet is for your child, please take the time to read this manual
and make sure that your child understands these instructions and warnings.
WARNING
Please note that no helmet is indestructible and will not prevent all head injuries.
No helmet can protect against all possible impacts, and serious injury or death
can occur even while wearing the helmet. Helmets can reduce or may prevent
injuries, but even a low speed impact can result in serious injury or death.
This helmet is intended solely for pedal cycling, skateboarding or roller-skating but
even these activities are inherently dangerous. See illustration 1. While no helmet
can guarantee your safety, wearing a helmet, taking lessons, riding responsibly
and within your skill level and abilities, as well as using common sense, can all re-
duce the risk of serious head injuries. This helmet is not intended for motorsport,
moped or similar activities, and doing so shall void the warranty. See illustration 2.
Intended usage:

WARNING
Please note that it is necessary for children to remove their helmets before en-
tering playgrounds or while climbing trees, walls or other structures. 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.
Your helmet is intended to reduce the harmful effects of a blow to the
head. Accordingly the helmet must fit properly, be worn properly and be
taken care of properly.
WARNING
For maximum protection the helmet must be fitted and attached properly to the
wearer's head in accordance with the manufacturer's fitting instructions found
below.

The helmet will only protect your head if it fits correctly and sits horizontally on
your head. If the helmet slips when the head is turned to the side then the hel-
met is the wrong size. See Illustration 3:

• Make sure you wear the right size for optimum comfort and security.
• Start by positioning the helmet on your head so that the front is level with the
back and parallel to the ground.
• Do not pull the helmet over your forehead as this reduces your sight.
• Do not push the helmet towards the back of your head as this leaves your fore
head unprotected.
• Adjust the helmet by using the head ring and straps described below.
• Check the adjustment before every ride.
If after adjustment the helmet does not fit properly, do not use the helmet.
Optimum fit:
Adjusting the head ring. See illustrations 4 and 5. The head ring tightens or
loosens the helmet around your head. It is adjustable. Use the small wheel at
the back to expand or decrease the circumference of the head ring until the fit
around your head is steady and secure.

Adjusting the straps:
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the lower jaw. See il-
lustration 6. When you try on the helmet for the first time, please ad-
just the straps so that they meet
ears. You adjust the straps by opening the triangular lock and then lock-
ing it again when you have found the right position. See illustration 7.
The lock on the chin strap is child proof and must be secured properly before ev-
ery ride. Listen for the "click" to know it is properly fastened. See illustration 8.
