Important Safety Information

Warning!
The instructions in this manual are designed to help you select the right helmet, wear it properly,
take care of it, and know when to replace it. Failure to follow these instruction may increase your
risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
In order to get the most protection possible from your helmet, you should always do the following:
■
Wear your helmet when you ride;
■
Handle your helmet carefully to avoid accidental damage; and
■
Ride safely – do not take risks because you are wearing a helmet.
Although your HJC helmet is designed to reduce or prevent some injuries
when worn, no helmet can protect you from all possible or foreseeable
impacts. For example, your helmet cannot protect you from spinal or neck
injuries. In addition, there is no guarantee that your helmet will
PREVENT injuries to the area of your head that is covered.
A low speed accident may even result in serious injury or death.
Selecting the Right Helmet
Warning!
Never buy a used helmet or borrow someone else's helmet.
Over time the protective foam in helmets will adjust to the contours of a user's head.
A used or borrowed helmet may not offer as much protection as a new helmet.
Warning!
Wearing the wrong size helmet can increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
A helmet that is too large for your head may be dislodged or knocked off in an accident.
To select the right size helmet for your head, follow these instruction :
1. Measure your head.
Wrap a tape measure around your head about one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows.
2. Use the sizing chart to select the helmet size that corresponds most closely
to your head measurement. If your head size falls between two helmet sizes,
try on the larger helmet first and then the smaller size.

Size Chart
Warning!
The size chart is only for reference. Always try the helmet on and follow this manual's
instructions for a proper fit.
3. Try on the helmet by grasping both chin straps to pull the helmet completely onto your head,
ensuring that the top of your head is in contact with the top of the helmet interior.
4. Check for a proper fit.
To make sure your helmet is the right size, check that :
■
The helmet inner lining fits snugly around your head.
■
The top pad presses firmly on your head.
■
The cheek pads contact your cheeks.
■
There is no space around your brow under the inner lining.
Test this by trying to insert your fingers.
If the helmet does not fit snugly, try on a smaller size.
5. Check your field of vision when trying on a helmet.
Some helmets may obstruct or block your vision when looking left, right, up, or down.
Warning!
Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your motorcycle.
6. Test the helmet fit by placing your hands on each side
of the helmet. While holding your head as motionless as
possible, try rotating your helmet from left to right then
up and down. If you can feel the helmet padding sliding
on your head, it is too big, try a size smaller. You should
feel the helmet move the skin on your head and face as
you try to move the helmet.
* All modular helmets are designed to be used in the closed chin bar position. Thus, be sure all
helmet "fitting" is done with the chin bar in the closed and locked position.
7. Fasten the retention system (chin strap) as tight as possible under your jaw
without causing pain. There must be no slack in the strap,
and the strap must be tight up against your jaw.
