Read and follow the instructions in this manual completely. WARNING! Helmet Owners Manual 4/20/04 11:15 AM Page 2 GIANT HELMETS OWNERS MANUAL 2 3 WARNING! LIMITED IMPACT PROTECTION When worn correctly, helmets can reduce or prevent many injuries. However, impact forces, even in low-speed accidents, can cause injury or death. Energy- absorbing materials used in safety helmets are designed to crush on impact. Sometimes, the force can crush the material completely. When this happens, some of the blow is transferred to the head. If this force is great enough it can result in serious injury or death. Because the variables in every accident are different, it is impossible to predict how or when this might occur. HELMETS CAN’T PREVENT ALL HEAD INJURIES Some head injuries are not caused by direct impact, but are the result of severe back-andforth shaking. Safety helmets are not designed to prevent this type of injury. HELMETS CAN’T PROTECT WHAT THEY DON’T COVER Safety helmets do not protect the neck or any areas of the head that they don’t cover. Make sure the helmet fits snugly. The straps should be adjusted and tightly fastened to hold the helmet firmly in place. FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS: 1.Wear a helmet whenever and wherever you ride. 2.Wear a helmet of the proper size – designed for the sport you are participating in. 3.Ride safely, observing all traffic regulations 4.Wear the helmet low in the front to protect your forehead. 5.Tighten the chin strap and fasten all buckles securely. 6.Check the adjustments every time you wear your helmet. 7.Inspect your helmet and its straps regularly for signs of wear or damage. Replace your helmet immediately if it shows any visible signs of wear or damage. 8.Replace your helmet after an accident, even if there is no visible damage. 9.Only use mild soap and water when cleaning your helmet. 10.Store your helmet in a cool, dry place FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION, YOU SHOULD NEVER: 1.Wear your helmet with the buckle unfastened. 2.Wear anything under your helmet. 3.Wear this helmet while riding a motorcycle or other motor vehicle. 4.Take unnecessary risks just because you’re wearing a helmet.

Conventional Fit Pads For helmets with conventional fit pads on the interior, pads are held in place by hook and loop style fasteners. Try any combination of the different thicknesses provided until the helmet fits firmly and comfortably. STEP 5: CHECKING THE FIT AND ADJUSTMENTS Before using the helmet, make sure it fits correctly, the straps are correctly adjusted and the chin strap is tight enough. Put the helmet on in the correct position. Fasten the chin strap and pull it tight. Stand in front of the mirror: • Roll off your head completely in either direction.
