Thank you for purchasing an Arai helmet. We are confident that it will
meet with your satisfaction and we provide this booklet to enhance your
enjoyment of your new helmet.
As the oldest manufacturer of safety helmets in Japan, Arai has always
been in the forefront of the helmet technology and we continue today as a
leader in the art and science of making helmets.
However, even when built to the best of the current "state of the art",
no helmet can guarantee absolute safety. Your helmet's function is to
reduce the chance or severity of injury in an accident. Some reasonably
foreseeable impacts may exceed any helmet's ability to protect against
injury. Please bear this in mind and ride/drive safely.
NOTES ON USE
The basic function of the helmet, to protect the head from the effects of
a severe blow, is accomplished by surrounding the helmet with a certain
amount and type of material and space which work as a shock absorber
and buffer. For optimum safety, a substantial amount of material is needed
around the head. Therefore, although negligible, some degree of hearing,
peripheral vision and physical movement may be sacrificed in order to
properly protect your head. When you first wear your helmet, you may feel
that your hearing is somewhat restricted. Check and be aware of your
ability to hear the necessary sounds such as horns and emergency vehicle
sirens.
For maximum safety, it is important that your helmet be a snug, comfortable
fit on your head. It must not be so large that it moves freely around your
head, not so small that it constricts and causes pain. A helmet which is
too large may slide down over your eyes, or turn in a lateral direction due
to movement during riding/driving. When trying to move the helmet on the
head, either in rotation and/or fore & aft, the skin should be pulled by the
lining. If the lining slips easily over the skin the helmet is too large.
