E. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY
For your own safety, check the following points every time before you ride:

1. INSPECTING THE HELMET

Regularly inspect your helmet for damage. Small scratches on the surface do
not affect the protective function of your helmet. Do not use the helmet if it
is seriously damaged (cracks, slight dents, flaking and cracked varnish, etc.).
Caution:
If you have lost a significant amount of body weight, you should
check that your helmet is still the correct size for you.
2. INSPECTING THE CHIN STRAP
(WITH HELMET ON AND FASTENED)
1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.
2. Slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull.
If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is too long and needs to be
tightened.
If the chinstrap loosens when you pull it, it is not properly fastened.
Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it again. Repeat the
test.
3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it fits snugly against
the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you.
Caution:
Repeat the test after each adjustment.
Warning:
Never ride without a fastened and correctly adjusted chin strap. The
strap must sit correctly and must not give or be slack when pulled. The
lock is only properly engaged when the chin strap has no slack.
