Setup and Installation

The ROC Loc 5 Fit System is designed for replacement in compatible Giro helmets. Installation requires careful attention to strap re-threading and securing the rear tab.

1. Preparation: Before removing the old fit system, take photographs of how the helmet straps are threaded through the existing system. This will serve as a reference for re-threading.
2. Remove Old System: Carefully detach the old ROC Loc system from the helmet. This may involve unhooking plastic tabs and unthreading straps.
3. Thread Straps: Thread the helmet straps through the new ROC Loc 5 Fit System according to the photographs taken in step 1. Ensure all straps are correctly oriented and not twisted.
4. Secure Front Tabs: Attach the front tabs of the new ROC Loc 5 system to the designated anchor points inside the helmet. These typically snap into place.
5. Secure Rear Tab: The rear 't-tab' or central anchor point often requires firm pressure to snap into its corresponding slot at the back of the helmet. It may be necessary to gently flex the plastic to align and secure it. Ensure it is fully seated and locked.
6. Final Check: Once installed, gently pull on the system to ensure all attachment points are secure. Verify that the adjustment mechanism operates smoothly.

Note: If you encounter difficulty, refer to specific helmet model instructions or seek assistance from a qualified bicycle technician.

Operating Instructions (Adjustment)

The ROC Loc 5 Fit System allows for precise adjustment to achieve a snug and comfortable helmet fit.

1. Placement: Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level and covers your forehead.
2. Tighten: Locate the adjustment dial at the back of the helmet (integrated into the ROC Loc 5 system). Rotate the dial clockwise to tighten the fit system, drawing the helmet snugly around your head.
3. Loosen: Rotate the dial counter-clockwise to loosen the fit system.
4. Check Fit: The helmet should be snug enough that it does not move excessively when you shake your head, but not so tight that it causes discomfort or pressure points. The helmet should not be able to roll forward or backward more than an inch.
5. Strap Adjustment: After adjusting the fit system, ensure the chin straps are also properly adjusted, forming a 'V' shape below your ears and allowing only one or two fingers to fit between the strap and your chin.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life and functionality of your ROC Loc 5 Fit System.

• Cleaning: Clean the fit system with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic components.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the system for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Ensure all attachment points are secure.
• Storage: Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can degrade plastic materials.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ROC Loc 5 Fit System, consider the following:

• System feels loose after installation: Double-check that all tabs are fully engaged and snapped into their respective slots in the helmet shell. Ensure straps are correctly threaded.
• Adjustment dial is stiff or not working: Inspect for any debris or obstructions in the mechanism. Clean gently. If the dial is damaged, the system may need replacement.
• Discomfort or pressure points: Re-adjust the system and helmet position. Ensure the helmet is not tilted too far forward or backward.
• Cracked or broken components: If any part of the fit system is cracked or broken, it should be replaced immediately to maintain helmet safety and function.

For issues not resolved by these steps, contact Giro customer support or a certified bicycle mechanic.
