Фрагмент инструкции
It is constructed with a foam liner and a thermoplastic shell. Extensive testing verifies that Giro helmets meet the various shock absorption, penetration, strap strength and coverage provisions of specific US and International headgear standards. Specific standard designations can be found inside your helmet. READ THESE WARNINGS 1. All safety equipment has limitations. Read and follow all instructions carefully. 2. This helmet is intended for only the following activities: skiing and snowboarding. It is not intended for motorsport, moped or other uses. 3. This helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction of the energy absorbing liner. This damage may not be visible. Therefore, if subjected to a severe blow, the helmet should be destroyed and replaced even if it appears undamaged. 4. No helmet can protect the wearer from all foreseeable accidents. Depending on the type of impact, even a low speed accident can result in a serious head injury or fatality. 5. A helmet can only provide a level of protection for areas that it covers. It does not protect the neck. 6. Please exercise care and good judgment whenever you ski or snowboard. Comply with all safety regulations and do your part to avoid accidents. YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES TOO 1) DO Always wear your helmet in the proper position. 2) DO Fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap. 3) DO Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet. 4) DO Inspect your helmet regularly for signs of wear or damage. 5) DO Exercise care and good judgment whenever you ski or snowboard. 1) DON’T Wear a helmet that’s been in an accident. 2) DON’T Attach anything to the helmet unless recommended by the manufacturer. 3) DON’T Wear someone else’s helmet. 4) DON’T Wear anything hard or sharp under your helmet. 5) DON’T Take unnecessary risks just because you’re wearing a helmet. In order for your Giro helmet to be effective it must fit properly, be worn properly and be properly fastened. Which brings us to: HOW TO MAKE YOUR HELMET FIT LIKE A GLOVE Giro helmets come in lots of sizes, so chances are there’s one that’s going to fit you. If the helmet you now own doesn’t fit on your head leaving little room between your head and the padded liner, exchange it for one that does. If you bought a Sonic™ model, notice that there is a second set of pads included. You can customize the fit with these adhesive backed sizing pads to get a snug fit. HOW TO ADJUST THE STRAPS The front of your helmet should fall just above your eyebrows. If the front is too low, you won’t be able to see hazards like cliff edges and young freestyle prodigies. If the front is too high, you’ll look like a geek and your helmet will not provide as much protection as when positioned properly (Figure 1). Try strapping your goggles on. If the helmet is on correctly you won’t be able to scratch your forehead. Figure 1 Right Wrong You’ve no doubt noticed the straps hanging off your helmet. As plush as they are, they’re not there just to warm your cheeks. They are designed to keep your helmet on by buckling under your lower jaw. If your straps aren’t adjusted right, your helmet won’t stay on properly. So pay attention. To adjust them, fasten the buckle and tighten the chin strap by pulling on the loose end of the strap until your helmet fits snugly. How snugly? As snugly as you can without impairing your ability to chew and swallow an energy bar. Got it? Now make sure the loose end of the strap still loops back up through the rubber “O” ring. HOW TO FURTHER POSITION STRAPS AROUND EARS If you have a Nine.9™, S4™, SST, or Sonic you’ll also want to position the strap guides so that they rest just below your ear lobes (Figure 2). To do this on the Nine.9, open the Tri Loc™ (Figure 3) and adjust the front and rear straps to move the Tri Loc up or down, fore or aft. Snap the Tri Loc closed and adjust the other side. Readjust the chin strap if necessary. On the S4, SST, and Sonic, adjust the front and rear straps by sliding the strap guide up or down. Figure 2 Figure 3 While you have that Nine.9 or S4 in your lap, you should practice removing and reattaching the Weatherstrip™ vent plugs and ear flaps. Both help keep winter cold, snow and drips away from your scalp but are easy to remove on warm days or in hot situations. On the Nine.9 simply unsnap the ear flap from the liner and slide the chin strap through the ear pad strap loop. To remove the S4 ear flaps it’s as easy as unsnapping the ear pad from the webbing and pulling out of helmet. For additional temperature control, the Nine.9 also features a removable neck roll. When you are satisfied with your strap adjustments, put the helmet on and try to pull it off from the front and back. A correctly fitted helmet should be comfortable and should not move forward to obscure vision or rearward to expose the forehead. If you can’t adjust the helmet to meet these requirements, DO NOT USE THE HELMET. Replace it with a different size or a different model. IF YOU H...
