General Principles
This helmet has been designed for off-road use by ATV users at low
speeds (generally under 30 kph). Although a helmet will not guarantee
safety from head injury in all cases, injury may be reduced through
the appropriate use of ATV’s and wearing a helmet in many cases.
As head injuries may occur in any setting where an ATV is in use
the helmet should be worn at all times when riding ATV’s.
Methods of Protection
A protective helmet protects against impact by absorbing energy
through –
(a) Deformation of the shell,
(b) Crushing of the protective padding if provided,
(c) Stretching of the harness in some cases.
The residual force of the impact is spread over the surface of the
head, thus lessening the chance of injury.
Care and Safe Practices
(a) No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible impacts.
(b) The helmet is designed to be retained by a strap under the lower
jaw.
(c) To be effective, a helmet must fit and work correctly. To check
for correct fit, place helmet on head and make any adjustments indicated.
Securely fasten retention system. Grasp the helmet and try to rotate
it to the front and rear. A correctly fitted helmet should be comfortable
and should not move forward to obscure vision or rearward to expose
the forehead. It is recommended that this is represented graphically.
(d) No attachments or modifications should be made to the helmet
except those recommended by the helmet manufacturer.
(e) The helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction
of the shell and liner. The damage may not be visible. Therefore,
if subjected to a severe blow, the helmet should be destroyed and
replace even if it appears undamaged.
(f) The helmet may be damaged and rendered ineffective by petroleum
and petroleum products, cleaning agents, plaints, adhesives and
the like, damage being visible to the user.
(g) A helmet has a limited lifespan in use and should be replaced
when it exceeds its designed lifespan and/or shows obvious signs
of wear, for example, if the surface of the helmet becomes chalky,
faded or cracked.
(h) Clean helmet with warm water soap or non-petroleum solvents.
