F. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY
For your safety, check the following points before every journey:

1. CHECKING THE HELMET

Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superfi cial scratches will
not impair the protective function of your helmet. In the case of more
serious damage (cracks, dents, fl aking and cracking paint, etc.), the
helmet should no longer be used.
Note:
If your body weight has dropped signifi cantly, you should check
that your helmet is still the right size for you (see Section C.3.).
2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP (with helmet on and fastened)
1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.
2. Slip your index fi nger 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 fi nger 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 fi rmly against
the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you (see
Section C.3.).
