The correct adjustment and use of this helmet are critical for safety. Parents should explain the information in this manual to their children or anyone else who is not able to understand.

Important information

About the helmet
This helmet meets the requirements for the EN 1078 standard and is designed for cycling, skateboarding and roller skating. A helmet must be worn and maintained correctly to provide the right protection. Therefor it is necessary to carefully read and follow these instructions. Incorrect use or maintenance of your helmet could lead to serious injuries or even death.
Ride safely
No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible impacts. A severe impact, sharp object, improper use or incorrect adjustment could cause conditions beyond the protection of the helmet.
Check the adjustment before every ride
To be most effective, a helmet must fit and be worn correctly. To check for the correct fit, place the helmet on the head and make any adjustment as indicated. Securely fasten the retention system. Grasp the helmet and try to rotate it to the front and rear. A correctly fitted helmet should be comfortable and not move forward to obscure vision or rearward to expose the forehead. If you cannot correctly adjust your helmet, please contact our customer service.
Avoid the heat
Do no expose your helmet to heat, such as inside a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can damage the liner or shell, or make them separate. This makes the helmet loses its integrity and therefore the strength to protect you.
Avoid chemicals
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. Do not clean the helmet with chemicals or other liquids that can harm the integrity of the helmet.
Replace an old helmet or helmet with damage
A helmet absorbs the first blow in the event of a fall, which can prevent serious injury. 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 replaced. In any situation if subjected to a severe blow, the helmets construction will be affected and should not be worn again, but destroyed and replaced even if it appears undamaged. Helmet parts lose strength over time, so even if the helmet has not been impacted or damaged, replace it after three years.
If you choose to do stunts or tricks, you should choose a helmet with more protection. Anything between your head and helmet can reduce the protection. A cap, scarf or even some high-volume hairstyles might allow the helmet to move during an impact. Barrettes, headphones, or anything else under your helmet can injure you if the helmet is impacted. No attachments should be made to the helmet except those recommended by the helmet manufacturer. This includes stickers or adhesive labels. Avoid choking by not using this helmet 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. Keep your helmet clean, wash it with a solution of mild soap and water. The fit pads are machine washable in cold temperature. Do not put fit pad sets in the dryer. The ventilation holes may allow penetration. Objects such as sticks, stones or insects can pass through the holes to the interior of the helmet.

Adjusting the helmet

Placement
To check the shell size of your helmet, put it on your head in the correct position but not fasten the buckle (Fig 1). A good fit is snug, but not tight. Note: all directions (left, right, top, bottom) are in reference to the helmet as worn on the head.

Step 1
Place the helmet on the head correctly. (Fig 1) When the helmet is placed incorrect on the head it cannot guarantee safety. (Fig 2)
Step 2
Turn the automatic dial fit system till the helmet is tight enough, but still comfortable. (Fig 3)
Step 3
Adjust the left strap by clicking the strap adjustor open and slide until it is just beneath the right earlob. (Fig 4)
Step 4
With the helmet off, slide the left strap adjustor on the nape strap until the left nape strap is the same length as the right nape strap. Check if the space between the left and right nape straps are equal and both adjustors are just below the ear lobes when positioned on the head. If necessary, re-adjust the straps. (Fig 5)
Step 5
The ‘chinstrap’ are the two straps hanging under the lower jaw. You can adjust the length of the chinstrap by sliding it through the buckle (Fig 6). The chinstrap should fit snugly against the bottom of the chin. If necessary, you should be able to measure this by placing a finger between the chin and the strap, which indicates the right amount of space.
Step 6
Insert the left-hand buckle into the righthand buckle. Make sure the buckle is correctly secured by listening for a click as the buckle engages. (Fig 7) Give a gentle tug to attempt to pull the buckle apart with the chinstrap. It should not come apart. To keep the excess of the chinstrap from flapping, tuck it through the rubber O-ring. To undo the buckle again, press on both of the recessed tabs of the buckle to open it. (Fig 8)
Testing
To test the adjustments before using, shake the head gently from left to the right side. The helmet should not move on the head. Also try to push the helmet forward and backward on the head. If the helmet moves back, tighten the temple straps. If the helmet moves forward, tighten the nape straps. If the helmet cannot be adjusted correctly, you may need a smaller shell size.
