ADVISORY
ONE IMPACT RULE - ANY HELMET THAT HAS SUSTAINED AN IMPACT SHOULD BE REPLACED.
Helmets are designed to absorb only one impact. The helmet is designed to absorb some shock by partial destruction of
the shell and liner. After your helmet has endured any impact, the impact absorption liner portion of your helmet will have
dispersed the energy from that impact, thus rendering the liner compacted and, therefore, compromised. This damage may not
be visible. Even if there is no VISIBLE damage to the shell, the helmet's usefulness is expired after one impact. A helmet that
has experienced an impact should be destroyed and replaced, even if it is apparently undamaged.
OBSOLESENCE AND HELMET DISPOSAL
A helmet has a limited lifespan in use and should be replaced when it shows obvious signs of wear, e.g. change of fit, cracks,
rust or fraying or other signs of normal "wear and tear" that can contribute to helmet degradation.
SAFETY WARNING: If you buy a new helmet, destroy the old one to ensure it cannot be reused. Do not sell or give away your old
helmet, even if it has not been damaged. Over time, the protective layer in the helmet will adjust to the contours of your head.
If someone else uses this helmet it will not provide him or her with as much protection.
USING YOUR HELMET CORRECTLY
SAFETY WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and to help prevent damage to your helmet: Never adjust your
helmet accessories while riding – Only make helmet adjustments when stopped. Never drop your helmet – Dropping your helmet
may crack the shell or damage the protective foam. The damage may not be visible. Your helmet is only designed for ONE
impact. Refer to "REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDATION" for more information. Never wear anything between your head and your
helmet – This may reduce the effectiveness of your helmet. Never hang or hook your helmet on anything including mirror stalks,
handle bar, or sissy bars – Doing so may cause damage to the helmet protective foam or liner. Never use insect repellent on or
around your helmet – Insect repellant may damage your helmet's visor, shell, protective foam, or other components. Never expose
helmet to gasoline or gasoline fumes – Gasoline may damage your helmet's visor, shell, protective foam, or other components.
INSPECT YOUR HELMET
SAFETY WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, always use your helmet correctly.
• Check the shield and shield ratchet – retighten shield ratchet screws if necessary. Be sure not to over- tighten any screws.
Plastic base plate screws can break and aluminum screws can strip the screw sleeves if over-tightened.
• Check for helmet damage. If your helmet is damaged or cracked, stop using it immediately. See "REPLACEMENT
RECOMMENDATION" section for further information. If your helmet has been dropped, you may not be able to see the
damage.
• Check for worn or damaged parts. Plastic components may wear out over time. If you find worn or damaged parts, replace
them or purchase a new helmet. For a complete listing of helmet replacement parts and accessories including liners,
