helmet to move out of position or  
come off in an accident.  
STEP 3: ADJUSTING THE  
CHIN STRAP  
Always wear the helmet with the  
chin strap buckle fastened and  
the strap pulled tight. Make sure  
the strap rests back against the  
throat, NOT on the front of the  
chin. Straps worn on the front of  
the chin will greatly increase the  
chance of the helmet coming off  
in an accident. Figures 4 and 5  
show how to fasten and release  
the buckle and Figure 6 shows  
proper placement of the chin  
strap.  
STEP 2: ADJUSTING THE  
STRAPS  
The front and rear straps should  
join at a point slightly below and  
in front of the ears. See Figure 2.  
To adjust the position of the  
straps:  
1.Open the adjustors (Figure 3)  
2.Put the helmet on and slide  
the straps through the  
adjustors until they are  
located in the correct position  
as indicated in Figures above;  
3.Make sure there is no extra  
slack in any of the straps  
when the adjustors are in the  
correct position;  
4.Close and lock the adjustors.
