thousand 153021 Bicycle Helmet
This helmet is only intended for bicyclists, users of skateboard and roller
skates.
It is not designed for motor vehicle use or other sports.
Thousand helmets complies with one or more of the following standards:
AS/NZS 2063:2008 | AS/NZS 2063:2020
PLEASE READ BEFORE USING YOUR NEW HELMET
The bicycle helmet you have just purchased provides protection, whether on or
off the road. Please familiarize yourself with the helmet’s features and
instructions to ensure proper use. It’s extremely important that the wearer
carefully and thoroughly read through this manual before wearing their new
helmet.
ABOUT THE LIMITS OF YOUR HELMET
Your Thousand helmet is designed to reduce or prevent certain injuries, and it meets or exceeds the levels of protection mandated by the Australia and New Zealand safety standards for bicycle helmets in effect on the date of manufacture. No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible impacts. Even at very low speeds, accidents can result in serious injury or death. Some injuries are not caused by impact at all, but by other forces. A helmet does not protect what it does not cover, and may not protect what it does cover. A helmet cannot protect against neck, spinal or other injuries that may result from an accident.
FIT SYSTEM
To adjust the fit system, put the helmet on your head, but do not connect the
straps. If the fit system is too loose, rotate the adjusting wheel clockwise
to tighten.
If the fit system is too tight, rotate the adjusting wheel counter-clockwise.
Fasten the magnetic buckle.
THE CORRECT FIT
To be effective, a helmet must fit and be worn correctly. To check for the
correct fit, place helmet on head and make any adjustments indicated. Securely
fasten retention system. Grasp the helmet and try to rotate it to fit the
front and rear. A correctly fitted helmet should be comfortable and should not
move forward to obscure vision or rearward to expose the forehead. The helmet
is designed to be retained by a strap under the lower jaw.
RETENTION SYSTEM
Place the helmet firmly on your head and fasten the buckle. The straps must be
adjusted so they are evenly tensioned. The helmet uses a quick release
magnetic buckle. To fasten the buckle, slide the top piece on top of the
bottom piece until the magnets in both pieces have snapped together; you will
hear a closure sound when it has locked.
To open the buckle, slide the top piece towards the direction marked “open”.
Make sure the magnetic buckle snaps together whenever using the helmet, and
that the buckle is positioned away from the jawbone. Be sure to also tuck the
extra strap material through the “O” ring.
PROTECTION AND VENTILATION
The helmet’s outer shell provides excellent durability and integrity. The multiple vents and inner air channels draw air through the helmet for maximum cooling.
HELMET ATTACHMENT
Chapter
The peak (visor) on your helmet is removable and interchangeable with other
Thousand Chapter Helmet Visors.
To remove the visor, turn the hand screws counterclockwise to loosen. To
attach the visor, replace the hand screws and turn clockwise to tighten.
WARNING: Do not tighten the screws for the visor on the helmet when the visor is not attached. This can damage the helmet and void the warranty.
HELMET ATTACHMENT
Heritage+ Thousand JR
No attachments should be secured to the helmet.
FINAL CHECK
It is important to remember that the helmet needs to fit snugly on your head
and be fastened to provide maximum protection. If you can tilt the helmet
forward or backward, then you need to tighten the strap adjustment. The straps
should not cover the ears. All adjustments should be checked each time the
helmet is worn. The wearer needs to make sure that the helmet fits properly
and comfortably at all times. Do not, however, adjust your helmet while
riding.
CARING FOR YOUR HELMET
Clean the helmet’s shell, pads and retention system with mild soap and water
only. The use of any solvent, paint or decal can cause damage to the helmet
that may or may not be visible to the wearer. Do not use this helmet if it has
been exposed to such substances.
KEEP HELMET OUT OF EXTREME HEAT
The helmet will be damaged if it is exposed to excessive heat. If stored in
dark vehicles or storage bags the temperature can get hot enough to cause heat
damage. Heat-damaged helmets show bubbly and uneven surfaces. If damaged, the
helmets should be destroyed and replaced immediately.
WARNING- IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction of the shell and
liner. This damage may not be visible.
Therefore, if subjected to a severe blow, the helmet should be destroyed and
replaced even if it appears undamaged.
Never wear a helmet that has been in an accident or that has sustained a hard
impact, even if there are no visible signs of damage. The helmet should be
returned to the manufacturer for inspection, or destroyed or replaced if it is
involved in any injury-related fall or other impact, or if any damage to the
helmet is apparent.
Unfortunately, some accidents result in head injuries that cannot be prevented
by ANY helmet. Helmets cannot protect against penetration by sharp objects.
No attachments should be made to the helmet except those recommended by the
helmet manufacturer. 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. Always ride with extreme
caution and be sure to read this manual thoroughly.
A helmet has a limited lifespan in use and should be replaced when it shows
obvious signs of wear. Helmets have a normal lifespan of approximately three
years when properly cared for and not subjected to impacts or other damage.
If the helmet has been exposed to excessive light or heat, rough handling,
chemicals, heavy use, or improper storage that has resulted in dents or cuts,
it may decrease the lifespan and safety of the helmet.
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.
