Resumen del manual
This helmet is certified to EN 1078. LIMITED IMPACT PROTECTION Helmets reduce or prevent many injuries. But, impact forces, even in a common low speed accident, can result in serious injury or death. Energy absorbing materials used in helmets crush on impact. Sometimes, the blow can crush the material completely. When this happens some of the force is transferred to the head. If the force is great enough it can cause injury or death. Because every accident is different, it’s impossible to predict when this might happen. Any helmet subjected to a severe impact should be discarded and destroyed. HELMETS CAN’T PREVENT ALL HEAD INJURIES Some head injuries are not caused by impacts at all, but by other forces. You can scramble an egg just by shaking it. You don’t have to break the shell to destroy the contents. Helmets cannot prevent this type of injury. HELMETS CAN’T PROTECT WHAT THEY DON’T COVER The helmet will not protect the neck or any area of the head it doesn’t cover. Always wear a helmet low in the front to protect the forehead. Make sure the helmet fits snugly and the straps are adjusted to hold the helmet firmly in place when tightly fastened.

PARENTS: A helmet is NOT a toy. DO NOT allow your children to use while climbing or in other play activities, where a risk of strangulation exists. This helmet can only protect you if it fits well. Be sure to try on different sizes and choose the size which feels secure and comfortable on your head. FOLLOW THESE FIVE SIMPLE STEPS TO LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY FIT AND WEAR YOUR HELMET. YOU WILL NEED A MIRROR STEP 1: WEAR IT IN THE PROPER POSITION Always wear a helmet low in the front to pro- tect the forehead. See Figure 1 for the prop- er way to wear a helmet. STEP 2: ADJUSTING THE STRAPS The front and rear straps should join at a point slightly below and in front of (but not covering) the ears. See Figure 2. STEP 3: ADJUSTING THE CHIN STRAP Always wear the helmet with the chin strap buckle fastened and the strap pulled tight. Make sure the strap is well back against the throat, NOT on the point of the chin. Straps worn on the point of the chin increase the chance of the helmet coming off in an accident. Position the buckle away from your jawbone. Figures 3 and 4 show how to fasten and release the buckle and Figure 5 shows proper placement of the chin strap. FITTING THE HELMET TO YOUR HEAD CORRECT IN-CORRECT FIGURE 1 IMPORTANT: All fitting adjustments MUST be made with the helmet in the proper position. Failure to do so will result in a poor fit. This will allow the helmet to move out of position or come off in an accident. FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 FIGURE 4 FIGURE 5 1ENGLISH FIGURE 6 WARNING! Make sure the loose end of the strap passes through the rubber “O” ring. If it does not, the strap may slide loose and the helmet can come off accidentally.

(See figure 6) ENGLISH STEP 4: GETTING THE CORRECT FIT The helmet fits correctly when it is held firmly but comfortably in place by the interior fit pads. Adjustments are made by varying the thickness of the interior pads and by varying the position and tension of the straps. The front fit pad should lightly touch your forehead. If it does not, replace it with the thicker pad provide...
