The following instructions and
diagrams show you how to
adjust the length of the strap by
increasing or decreasing the
amount which passes through
the ring (1) until the helmet fits
perfectly with the strap fastened.
To fasten the helmet, insert the
pronged section into the buckle
(2) and press it firmly home (3)

until you feel the strap pressing
against your jaw. The micrometric
adjustment system allows even
more precise "calibration" of the strap for improved comfort thanks to the
number of settings available (We recommend however that you insert the
strap as far into the buckle as possible).
Make sure that the helmet fits your head perfectly (also see "Choosing the
right helmet" in the "Safety Warning" booklet).
To unfasten the helmet, lift the red lever with the help of the fabric tape (4)
then slide the strap out of the buckle (5).
