Heritage Bike and Skate Helmet
Owner’s Manual
This helmet is only intended for bicyclists, users of skateboards, and roller
skates. It is not designed for motor vehicle use or other sports.
A thousand helmets comply with one or more of the following standards:
AS/NZS 2063:2008 | AS/NZA 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.
HELMET ATTACHMENTS
No attachments should be secured to the helmet.
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.
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 amage 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 etroleum 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 pproximately
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 while wearing 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 while wearing the helmet.
1 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
A thousand helmets have a 1-year limited warranty from the date of original purchase (or as otherwise required by local law) to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. This limited warranty applies only to the original purchaser and does not cover damage caused by impact, improper use, accident, negligence, abuse, improper maintenance, improper fit, normal wear and tear, modifications, use unintended by Thousand, or damage due to heat or contact with chemicals.
If your Thousand helmets are found to be defective in materials or
workmanship, within one year from the date of purchase, Thousand will have the
option of either repairing or replacing the helmet, free of charge, as the
sole remedy under this limited warranty. This warranty is in lieu of all other
warranties, expressed or implied, and no person or representative is
authorized to modify this limited warranty or to assume any liability on
behalf of Thousand, Inc.
Any obligations under any warranty shall be limited, to the greatest extent
allowed by law, as provided in this limited warranty. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation and
exclusion may not apply to you.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
