INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Thank you for choosing a KED helmet. Protective helmets are part of your
personal protection equipment and help avoid head injuries or at least
signifi cantly reduce the consequences. Please take some time to read the
following instructions and information on adjusting your helmet. It is in the
interest of your safety and comfort.
Detailled information and illustrations can be found on the front pages.
1. General Information
According to the current technological standards, this cycling helmet
represents the best possible protection for your head against external
adverse effects. It can, however, never guarantee complete prevention
of injuries. Our cycling helmets fulfi l the European standard EN 1078
: 2012+A1 : 2012. All helmets correspond with the European directive
89/686/EEC and bear the CE marking. Within the scope of this standard,
helmets are tested for shock absorption, slipping, chin strap strength and
coverage zones.
2. Selecting the right helmet size
A KED helmet can only protect you if it fi ts properly. Measure your head
circumference at the widest point and then select the right size.
The sizes of KED helmets are found on a label inside the helmet.
The helmet must feel safe and comfortable on your head. Try out different
helmets; you will notice initial differences straight away. Look in the mirror
- your helmet should suit you too.
3. Altering the size adjustment system
A good fi t is a prerequisite for the best possible protection. This is why the
helmet is equipped with the QuickSafe adjustment system. The head ring
size can be suitably adjusted by turning the adjustment wheel. If you turn
the wheel in the „-" direction the head ring tightens, and then releases
when turned in the „+" direction (see fi gure 2).
4. Correct positioning
Always position the helmet horizontally on your head, so that your fore-
head is protected but your vision is not impaired. Your helmet should not
be positioned towards the back of your head either (see fi gure 1).
5. Tight fi t
You can check your helmet for a tight fi t by shaking your head lightly with
the chin strap open. In doing so, the helmet should not slip. An optimal fi t
is necessary so that the helmet fulfi ls its safety function 100%.
6. Strap adjustment
a)
If your helmet is equipped with a Quickstopp System (see fi g. 4), you
can fi x your strap in the optimum position so that the strap always stays
optimally set for you. If your helmet does not have Quickstopp, continue
reading at b), and if it does, turn the Quickstopp in the „off" direction to
release the strap.
