Recommendations For Use, Care And Maintenance - Prophete Fietshelm Notice D'utilisation

7. Recommendations for use, care and maintenance

• The helmet should be checked for any visible damage at regular intervals.
• Following a heavy fall, the helmet must be replaced, even if there is no
visible damage to it.
• Only ride with strap closed.
• Do not paint or attach stickers to the helmet. Paint and stickers may
contain components that reduce the stability of the helmet and therefore
the protective effect.
• Do not make any modifications to the helmet. Only use original parts for
repair.
• Do not expose the helmet to temperatures above 60 °C; this may result in
the loss of its protective properties. Please do not leave the helmet near
radiators or in the sun behind glass (e.g. in a car).
• The helmet shell, the detachable pads, the adjusting ring as well as the
strap can be cleaned with lukewarm water using a mild soap solution. For
this purpose, remove the pads and adjusting ring from the helmet. When
putting the inner parts back in place afterwards, check for secure fit of the
helmet. Do not use any solvent (e.g. thinner or similar) to clean the
helmet.
• The bicycle helmet should be replaced after 5 - 6 years by a new one, as
the optimal protection can then no longer be guaranteed due to the
deterioration of the material properties.
• Dispose of the helmet with household waste (residual waste).
