Before Every Journey; Checking The Helmet; Checking The Proper Fit; Checking The Chinstrap - SCHUBERTH C3 Manual De Usuario

g. Before eVerY JourneY
For your safety, check the following points before every journey:

1. CHECKING THE HELMET

Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superficial scratches
will not impair the protective function of your helmet. In the case
of more serious damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking paint,
etc.), the helmet should no longer be used.
Caution:
If your body weight has dropped significantly, you should check
that your helmet is still the right size for you (see Section E.2.).

2. CHECKING THE PROPER FIT

(with helmet on and chin strap fastened)
1. Check whether the helmet fits snugly around your head.
2. Check whether the top pads presses closely to the top of your
head.
3. Check whether the cheek pads are snug on your cheeks.
4. Check to make sure there is no space between your brow and the
inner lining (you should not be able to insert your fingers).
If you experience any uncertainty about the proper fit of your helmet,
please run through the full helmet size check (see section E.1.) to
check whether your helmet is still the right size to fit you.
Note:
For your personal safety please run through the full helmet size
check (see section E.1.) regularly – at least every 4 to 5 weeks.
Caution:
If your body weight happens to raise or fall considerably, you will
need to check whether your helmet is still the right size to fit you
(see section E.1.).

Warning:
Never ride with a helmet that doesn't fit properly! Failure to have
a proper fit is dangerous as the helmet could come off in an
accident, resulting in severe head injury or death.
Warning:
Never use the helmet with the lining removed! If the lining is not
installed before use, the helmet may not fit properly and could
come off in an accident, resulting in severe head injury or death.

3. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP

(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 adjusted too long
and needs to be tightened.
- If pulling with your index finger loosens the chinstrap, it's not
properly fastened! Completely undo the chinstrap and try
fastening it again. Repeat the test.
3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it is firmly against
the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you (see
Section E.1.).
Note:
Repeat the test after each correction.
Warning:
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted!
The chinstrap should fit correctly and should not become loose
when pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap
becomes loose when pulled.
