GB INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Thank you for choosing a KED helmet. Protective helmets are
personal protective equipment and help prevent head injuries
or at least significantly reduce them. Please take some time to
read the following information and adjust your helmet. It will
benefit your safety and ensure the highest level of comfort.
Detailed information and illustrations can be found on the
front pages.
1. General Information
This bike helmet represents the best possible protection for
the head against external damage and meets the latest techno-
logical standards. However, no guarantee can be provided for
the total prevention of injuries. This bike helmet complies with
the European standard EN 1078.
The helmet complies with the European Regulation (EU)
2016/425 and therefore bears the CE mark. As part of this
standard, the helmets are tested for shock absorption, the
effectiveness of the retention system, as well as the protection
zones and the field of vision.
2. Selecting the right helmet size
A helmet can only protect the wearer if it fits properly. Measure
your head circumference at the widest point and then select
the appropriate size. The dimensions can be found on a label
inside the helmet.
The helmet must feel secure and comfortable on the head.
Try several helmets and you will notice some differences right
away. Take a look in the mirror too; the helmet should suit you.
3. Adapting the size adjustment system
A good fit is a prerequisite for the the best possible protection.
This is why this helmet is equipped with a K-FIT adjustment
system. By turning the adjustment wheel you can set the head
ring to suit you. Turning the wheel in the '-' direction tightens
the head ring, turning the wheel in the '+' direction loosens the
head ring (see illustration 2.1). The helmet is also equipped with
a height adjustment function (see illustration 5).
4. Correct positioning
Always put your helmet on your head horizontally so that
your forehead is protected but your view is not impaired. Your
helmet should also not sit pushed backwards over the head
(see illustration 1).
