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 fitting systems.
4. Adjustment of the straps
When wearing the helmet for the first time, please adjust the straps so that they meet taut-
ly and comfortably beneath the ears. The easily adjustable triangular locks on both sides,
with their optional fastener (fig. 1a and 1b) help you in doing so.
The child proof lock must be engaged properly, before first use, with an audible “ click” to
prevent accidental displacement (fig. 1a).
Make sure the chin-guard, which must be locked before every ride, doesn’t lie on the
jaw-bone (fig. 2 – 4).
Should the straps be too long, please cut them down to the required length and seal the
ends with a match flame to prevent fraying.
5. Removable chinbar
The helmet has a removable chin bar. By pressing the red buttons on both sides, the chin
bar is disengaged. (Fig. D)
Hold the helmet and pull the chin bar out of the fastening (Fig. E).
To fasten, slide the chin bar with the latch into the centre hole on the helmet. (Fig. F)
The chin bar is attached to the helmet by pushing it into the receptacle until it „clicks“ (Fig.
G). Make sure that the chin straps are on the inside.
WARNING: Proper fitting is a prerequisite for the full protective effect of the chin bar. After
attaching the chin bar to the helmet, pull on it to check that it is correctly fitted. If the chin
bar comes loose, it must be reattached. The chin bar must not be removed while riding.
6. Proper maintenance and care
• Before each use, the helmet and its strapping must be checked.
• Regularly check the helmet for signs of damage.
• Do not alter the specification of this helmet as it will reduce its protective effect.
• Do not apply stickers or paint to the helmet as this can be damaging to the materials.
• Do not remodel or misuse the helmet.
• Any non-observance of the instructions for use, as well as modifications, and improper
use of the helmet may lead to exclusion of liability..
• Store helmet in a cool, dry and protected place. To protect the helmet from damage,
transport the helmet in its original packaging or equivalent.
• Do not expose the helmet to temperatures in excess of 60˚C (147°F). Do not store behind
glass, e.g. in a car (burning glass effect), 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 specific operational conditions, a bicycle
helmet must be replaced 4 - 5 years after the first time it is used. In view of the unavoi-
dable material fatigue, the helmet must, however, be replaced at most 8 years after 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 soft cloth.
• Only use original spare parts.
• Please contact your local waste disposal company for correct disposal. Dispose of the
packaging according to type. Separate the cardboard, foil and plastic elements for
recycling.
• Please observe the notes enclosed for helmets equipped with Quin.
