For the best possible protection, please observe the following guidelines:
1. Usage
This helmet is recommended as protective equipment for the following activities (g. A).
It is not suitable for the following activities (g. B).
Attention: Please note that it is necessary for children to remove their helmets before
entering playgrounds. This helmet should not be used by children while climbing or
doing other activities when there is a risk of strangulation/hanging if the child gets
trapped with the helmet.
2. Optimum fit
• Please try various sizes for comfort and security, ensuring that the helmet sits
horizontally on your head.
• Do not pull the helmet over your forehead, reducing visibility.
• Do not push the helmet towards the back of your head, as this will not protect you forehead.

EN 1078:2012+A1:2012
3. Adjustement of the head ring
Almost all ABUS helmets are available in 2 sizes.
Adjusting the helmet to the individual head size
can be achieved, depending on the type, with the
following easy to use tting systems.
4. Adjustment of the straps
When wearing the helmet for the rst time, please adjust the straps so that they meet
tautly and comfortably beneath the ears. Make sure the chin-guard, which must be locked
before every ride, doesn’t lie on the jaw-bone (g. 2 – 5).
Aer adjustment, the overlapping straps can be secured with the strap clip (g. 6).
Should the straps be too long, please cut them down to the required length and seal the
ends with a match ame to prevent fraying.
5. Proper maintenance and care
• Regularly check the helmet for signs of damage.
• Do not alter the specication of this helmet as it will reduce its protective eect.
• Do not apply stickers or paint to the helmet as this can be damaging to the materials.
• Do not remodel or misuse the helmet.
• Do not expose the helmet to temperatures in excess of 60˚C. Do not store behind glass,
e.g. in a car (burning glass eect), near heaters etc.
• If you suspect that the helmet has received a large impact, even if there is no visible
damage, please purchase a new helmet.
• This helmet has a limited service life and should be replaced when it shows obvious
signs of wear.
• Depending on the frequency of use and the specic operational conditions, a bicycle
helmet must be replaced 4 - 5 years aer the rst time it is used. In view of the unavoi-
dable material fatigue, the helmet must, however, be replaced at most 8 years aer its
production date even if it displays no clear visible or technical defects
• The helmet, inner pads and head ring can be cleaned using lukewarm water,
solvent-free detergents and a so cloth.
• Only use original spare parts.
• At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with the applicable
legal requirements. Please contact the local authority responsible for disposal if you have
any queries. Dispose of the packaging according to type. Separate the cardboard, foil and
plastic elements for recycling.
