"D-RINGS" RETENTION SYSTEM
Your new helmet is equipped with the D-ring retention system. To ensure maximum pro-
tection and enjoy the advantages of the D-ring retention system, carefully read and follow
the instructions on this label. In order to prevent improper use of the helmet and, in partic-
ular, to prevent it from being incorrectly fastened, the ECE 22-05 approval standard
requires that the helmet be put on and removed without having to unthread the band com-
pletely from the rings. For this reason, this retention system, which is only efficient
when the band is threaded correctly in the rings as illustrated in Fig. 1, is supplied
pre-fastened and is conceived in such a way as to limit closing and opening to simple
adjustments of the tightness of the band. Therefore it is supplied with:
- a band end fitted with the male side of a snap button that prevents the retention system
from opening completely, and once the tightness is adjusted, prevents it from fluttering
when it is fastened to the female side;
- a red quick release flap that facilitates the loosening of the retention system.
To put on the helmet:
- Unhook the snap button by pulling on the band end (see Fig. 2).
- Pull the red quick release flap until the band is loosened completely without unthread-
ing it from the rings (see Fig. 3).
- With the help of your thumbs, bring the pre-fastened chin band towards the forward part
of the helmet so that it does not get in the way of your face while the helmet is being
put on.
- Put on the helmet ensuring that it is the correct size for you (see the attached instruc-
tion leaflet).
- Pull the band end (see Fig. 1) until you feel the band tightly pressed against your jaw.
- Refasten the snap button on the band end (see Fig. 2).
- Now try to remove the helmet by taking hold of it by the rear edge and rotating it for-
ward. The helmet should remain well fitted on your head (see the attached instructions).
If the helmet tends to come off your head, pull the chin band again until the correct pres-
sure is reached and try again.
To remove the helmet:
- Unhook the snap button by pulling the band end (see Fig. 2).
- Pull the red quick release flap until the band is loosened completely without unthread-
ing it from the rings (see Fig. 3).
- With the help of your thumbs, bring the pre-fastened chin band towards the front part of
the helmet so that is does not get in the way of your face and remove the helmet.
WARNING! THE BAND MUST NEVER BE UNTHREADED FROM THE RINGS.
THE SNAP BUTTON DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNCTION OF RETAINING THE HELMET.
NEVER PULL THE RED FLAP WHILE DRIVING.
We suggest that you periodically clean the D-ring release with lukewarm water and neu-
tral soap. Do not use solvents. Do not grease.
Tampering with or unforeseen events that may compromise the working order of the reten-
tion system should not be ruled out. In this event discontinue use of the helmet.
