Nolan N44 User Manual

WARNING
Failure in following these instructions may reduce the protection provided
by your helmet. Any modification to your helmet will affect its performance.
WEAR YOUR HELMET AT ALL TIMES
Helmet must be worn at all times to maximize the protection available in
any given impact.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
For maximum safety, it is important that your helmet fits properly.
It should be snug and comfortable. It must not be so large that it moves
freely about your head, nor so small that it constricts and causes pain.
A helmet that is too large may slide down over your eyes, or turn in a
lateral direction due to movement during riding.
Always secure the retention system (chin strap) tightly to keep your helmet
firmly placed whenever you ride. In any case, before starting off makes
sure that the chin strap is tight.
Beware: The only function of the <<Velcro>> fitted on the end of the chin
strap (retention system) is to avoid fluttering of the end of the chin strap.
The <<Velcro>> is to be used after having securely fastened the helmet as
described in the retention system directions.
In the event of an accident, you may receive impacts from multiple
directions, some of which may tend to pull the helmet from your head.
Bowing the head, try to slip the helmet off, as illustrated in the figure.
Do not use a chin cup or straps worn on the point of the chin. In case of
impact, the chin cup or straps may slip, allowing the helmet to come off.
HEARING
Your helmet covers the ears, thus muffling wind and traffic noises.
The helmet wearer must check and be aware of his/her ability to hear the
necessary sounds such as horns and emergency vehicle sirens.
