DIAGRAM B
To lower the front of the helmet to cover the forehead, adjust the
chin strap and slightly loosen the back strap. To raise the front of
the helmet, slightly loosen the chin strap and pull the rear strap.
To check the tension of the straps, put on the helmet, adjust the
buckle and open your mouth. You should feel the strap pull
against your chin. Then try pulling on the front or back of the
helmet. If the helmet falls off, increase the tension on the strap
and check to see if the pads are thick enough. The helmet
should not slide excessively forward or backward. It should not
be possible to remove the helmet without first removing the
buckle. NOTE: Check the adjustments each time you put the
helmet on.

Final check
It is important to remember that the helmet must fit around your
head. If neither the front nor the back will fit, then you need to pull
the strap to adjust it.
The straps should be positioned so that it does not cover your
ears and the buckle should be away from your jaw when the
helmet is properly adjusted.
All adjustments should be checked every time you put on the
helmet, making sure that it always fits your head well and
comfortably.
Cleaning
The helmet should only be cleaned with a little soap and water.
The use of solvents, paints or decals can damage the helmet and
make it ineffective and could cause an accident.
