Please read this manual before riding with your
new helmet!
This manual and the sticker inside your helmet con-
tain instructions and warnings about your helmet.
Carefully read and follow these instructions. Incor-
rect use or maintenance of your helmet could void
your warranty and, most importantly, 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.
(b) The helmet is designed to be re-
tained by a strap under the lower jaw.
(c) To be effective, a helmet must t and be worn
correctly. To check for correct t, place hel-
met on head and make any adujstments indi-
cated. Securely fasten retention system. Grasp
the helmet and try to rotate it to the front and
rear. A correctly tted helmet should be com-
fortable and should not move forward to ob-
scure vision or rearward to expose the forehead.
(d) No attachments should be made to the helmet
except those recommended by the helmet manu-
f ac t ur er.
(e) The helmet is designed to absorb shock by par-
tial destruction of the shell and liner. This damage
may not be visible. Therefore, if subjected to a se-
vere blow, the helmet should be destroyed and re-
placed even if it appears undamaged.
(f) The helmet may be damaged and rendered
ineffective by petroleum and petroleum products,
cleaning agents, paints, adhesives and the like,
without the damage being visible to the user.
(g) A helmet has a limited lifespan un use and
should be replaced when it shows obvious signs of
wear.
(h) This helmet should not be used by children
while climbing or doing other activities where there
is a risk of hanging or strangulation if the child
gets trapped whilst wearing the helmet.
Please note that no helmet is indestructi-
ble 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, skateboard-
ing 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 us-
ing common sense, can all reduce the risk of seri-
ous head injuries. This helmet is not intended for
motorsport, moped or similar activities, and do-
ing so shall void the warranty. See illustration 2.

WARNING WARNING

Please note that it is necessary for children to re-
move their helmets before entering playgrounds or
while climbing trees, walls or other structures. This
helmet should not be used by children while climb-
ing or doing other activities when there is a risk of
strangulation/hanging if the child gets trapped with
the helmet. This product is not a toy. It is sports
equipment and is designed and intended for sports.
Your helmet is intended to reduce the harmful
effects of a blow to the head. Accordingly the
helmet must t properly, be worn properly
and be taken care of properly.
For maximum protection the helmet must be t-
ted and attached properly to the wearer’s head in
accordance with the manufacturer’s tting instruc-
tions found below.
The helmet will only protect your head if it ts cor-
rectly and sits horizontally on your head. If the hel-
met slips when the head is turned to the side then
the helmet 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 forehead 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 t pro-
perly, do not use the helmet.
Optimum t:
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 cir-
cumference of the head ring until the t around
your head is steady and secure.

Adjusting the straps:
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps un-
der the lower jaw. See illustration 6. When you try
on the helmet for the rst time, please adjust the
straps so that they meet tightly and comfortably
beneath your ears. You adjust the straps by opening
the triangular lock and then locking 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 every ride. Listen for
the “click” to know it is properly fastened. See il-
lustration 8.
If you choose to cut the chinstrap, leave a protru-
sion of approx. 2 inches or 4 cm above the lock.
Have an adult heat the cut ends carefully with a
match to prevent the webbing from unravelling.
Be careful with high heat near the helmet because
the strap and helmet are ammable. Be careful to
avoid contact with melted nylon.
Run the chinstrap through the
lock as noted below and use
the “O-Ring” to secure
any excess strapping.
See Illustration 9.
In the event of an impact or blow, do not use this
helmet. The helmet is designed to absorb shock
by partial destruction of the shell and liner. There
may be damage to the helmet that is not visible
to the user and the helmet may be no longer ade-
quate to protect the head against further impacts.
In the event of an impact or blow, even if there
is no visible damage, the helmet should be re-
placed with a new one and the old one destroyed.
The helmet can be damaged by contact with com-
mon substances (for example, certain solvents
[ammonia], cleaners [bleach], paints, petroleum
products or abrasives), and this damage may
not be visible to the user. Do not use this hel-
met if it has been exposed to such substances.
• Regularly check the helmet for signs of damage.
• Do not apply stickers or paint to the helmet as

replaced when it shows obvious signs of wear,
but at the latest within 3 years after the date of

tergents and a soft cloth.
