NOTES BEFORE USE

2013年04月版

Chinstraps play an important role under an accident, preventing the helmet from coming off.
In order to maintain the original performance of the helmet, make sure to adjust "Chinstraps length" and "Adjustment locks
positions" properly and fasten "Strap buckle" correctly.

Strap buckle is the retention system at the end of both chinstraps.

Try on the helmet before use!

Adjusting the Chinstrap

Adjust the chinstrap to fit your head. It generally should be just long enough to
leave space for 2 to 3 fingers horizontally when fastening the chinstrap.

Try on your helmet before riding, and adjust the length of the "chinstrap", the position
of the "adjustment locks" and the fit of "TRIFIT Adjuster" to fit helmet to your head.
See "pw: TRIFIT Adjuster" for how to adjust TRIFIT Adjuster

accident, leading to death or serious injury.
