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.
WARNING: Do not modify or remove any of the original components of this helmet other than what is recommended by the manufacturer. This helmet should not be adapted for the purpose of fitting accessories.

ABOUT THE LIMITS OF YOUR HELMET WARNING

Your Thousand helmet is designed to reduce or prevent certain injuries, and it meets or exceeds the levels of protection mandated by the safety standards designated on the helmet for 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 (Figure 1-A). If the fit system is too tight, rotate the adjusting wheel counter-clockwise (Figure 1-B). Then fasten the magnetic buckle and adjust it to a comfortably snug fit that does not allow the helmet to roll back or
to the side, as discussed below.

THE CORRECT FIT

WARNING: To be effective, a helmet must fit and be worn correctly in accordance with these instructions. 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 (Figure 2). You should try different sizes and choose the size which feels secure and comfortable on the head in accordance to these instructions.

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 laterally. 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 (Figure 3).

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.

REMOVABLE VISORS

(For Chapter Collection Helmets Only) The visor on your helmet is removable and interchangeable with other Thousand Chapter Helmet Collection visors. To remove the visor, turn the hand screws counterclockwise to loosen (Figure 4-A). To attach the visor, replace the hand screws and turn clockwise to tighten (Figure 4-B). We strongly advise that adult supervision is used for the correct fitting of the helmet before first use.
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.

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, pad, and retention system with mild soap and water only.
WARNING: 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 WARNING

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 helmet should be destroyed and replaced immediately.

WARNING – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The helmet is designed to absorb the energy of an impact by partial destruction or damage to the helmet itself. The helmet may, after receiving an impact, be damaged to the point that it is no longer adequate to protect the head against further impacts, and this damage may not be visible to the user. Never wear a helmet that has been in an accident or that has sustained a hard impact, even if there are no visible sign 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 another 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. Always ride with extreme caution and be sure to read this manual thoroughly. 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.
WARNING: The helmet shoul 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.
