BEFORE USING YOUR NEW HELMET READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

1. This helmet was tested and certified according to the standard EN1078:2012+A1:2012 and European Regulation 2016/425 for Personal Protection Equipment.
   TESTING REQUIREMENTS
   1078:2012+A1:2012 TESTING REQUIREMENTS

2. This helmet was designed for the following activities: pedal cycling, skateboarding and roller skating. It offers protection against low-speed falls; crashes against urban obstacles such as light posts, building walls, trees, and traffic signs; and crashes against other vehicles and projectiles such as stones and tree branches. It must not be used in motorsports, to ride motorbikes or any other kind of use.

3. Some Catlike’s helmets are supplied with a removable visor. The application of this visor to the EPS inner shell of the helmet does not influence the shock absorption capacity of the helmet. The visor itself does not provide any kind of protection.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Always wear your bicycle helmet low in the front to protect the forehead, as this area is most likely to be impacted in a bicycle crash. Make sure the helmet fits and is always correctly fastened. Check the adjustment before every ride.
2. It is strictly prohibited to remove/ modify any of the original parts of the helmet except for spare parts that might be supplied in the product packaging. The helmet must not be adapted for fitting accessories in a way not recommended in this user manual. Such practice, besides representing a serious risk to the integrity of the user, will void all of Catlike’s warranties.
3. Any helmet submitted to an impact must be destroyed and replaced even if it does not show any visible damages – The helmet shock absorption capacity might be diminished. In any case, we recommend replacing your helmet every three years or when it does not fit any longer.
4. No helmet can protect the user against all possible accidents (including those involving bicycle collisions with motor vehicles). Even accidents at low speed may result in serious injuries to the head or even death. This helmet is made to protect the head and it cannot avoid cervical or backbone injuries, or any other physical injuries resulting from an accident.o

WARNINGS!

• 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.
• You should always fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap before every ride. Make sure that the helmet is correctly fitted and snugged into your head.
• The maximum temperature at which the helmet may be exposed is 50ºC (112ºF). Replace your helmet after exposure to higher temperatures.

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.

ADJUSTING THE RETENTION SYSTEM – STRAPS

1. Adjust the strap tension so the strap fits snugly 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 afterwards.
3. For models with chin padding make sure that the padding is correctly placed under your chin and fastened.

ADJUSTING THE REAR ADJUSTER
Start by opening the regulation system (rotate the mechanism anti-clockwise), 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.

VISOR
Some of the Catlike helmets provided with visors include plastic caps to cover the mounting holes when the visor is removed.

CAUTION: The mounting sockets in the helmet can be enlarged through overuse, which can cause the visor to be loose or come off unintentionally.

WARNINGS

1. The straps should not cover your ears.
2. The excess strap should be secured using the rubber “O’Ring”.
3. The buckle must be away from the chin bone.
4. To see if the strap is correctly adjusted, try to remove the helmet from the front and the back of the head. If it slides to the front, fasten the posterior belts. If it slides to the back, then fasten the interior belts.

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE / CONDITIONING

1. The helmet must be kept away from any heat source – do not leave it inside the car or any other place directly or indirectly exposed to solar radiation. High temperatures lead to the deterioration of the helmet and consequent loss of its characteristics (namely the absorption of impact energy). Heat-damaged helmets may present uneven surfaces.
2. Colour degradation due to solar exposure (UV exposure) will be more visible in some colours (fluorescent colours or decorations, for example) so we recommend avoiding long sunlight exposure periods to preserve the original looks of your helmet.
3. The helmet must be hand-cleaned only with water and a soft cloth. The comfort paddings should be removed from the helmet and cleaned using only water and mild soap. Use a soft cloth to dry the paddings before mounting them inside the helmet.
4. Do not use sprays or cleaning agents, chemical substances (including ammonia) and solvents to clean this helmet. They will cause the degradation of the helmet characteristics.
5. After each use, allow the helmet to air dry and then store it in a cool and dry place where it won’t get damaged.
