Byox Dino Kids Helmet

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Byox Dino Kids Helmet. This manual provides essential information for the proper fitting, use, maintenance, and care of your helmet. Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain them for future reference. This helmet is designed to provide protection during cycling activities for children with a head circumference of 48-54 cm.

2. Safety Information

• Helmet Purpose: This helmet is intended for use during cycling and similar recreational activities. It is not designed for motor sports or other activities where a different type of helmet is specified.
• Proper Fit: For maximum protection, the helmet must fit properly and be securely fastened. An improperly fitted helmet can reduce its protective capabilities.
• Impact Damage: A helmet that has sustained an impact, even if no visible damage is apparent, should be replaced immediately. The protective material may be compromised.
• Visibility: Ensure the child is visible to others. The helmet includes a rear light for enhanced visibility.
• Modifications: Do not modify or remove any original components of the helmet. Any alterations may compromise its safety features.
• Chemicals: Avoid contact with solvents, paints, or adhesives, as these can damage the helmet's materials without visible signs.

3. Setup and Fitting

Proper helmet fit is crucial for safety. Follow these steps to ensure the helmet fits correctly:

1. Positioning: Place the helmet squarely on the child's head, covering the forehead. The front edge of the helmet should be about two finger-widths above the eyebrows.
2. Adjusting the Retention System: The Byox Dino helmet features an adjustable dial at the rear. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten the fit and counter-clockwise to loosen it, until the helmet feels snug but comfortable. It should not move excessively when the child shakes their head.
3. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the side straps so that they form a 'V' shape just below the child's ears. The chin strap should be tightened so that it is snug against the chin, allowing only one or two fingers to fit between the strap and the chin.
4. Buckle: Fasten the buckle securely. Ensure it does not pinch the skin.

4. Operating the Helmet

Once the helmet is properly fitted, ensure it is worn correctly every time the child rides a bicycle.

• Before Each Ride: Always check that the helmet is securely fastened and fits snugly. The helmet should not rock forward, backward, or side-to-side.
• Integrated Rear Light: The helmet is equipped with a rear light for increased visibility. To operate the light, press the button located on the light unit. Pressing the button cycles through different light modes (e.g., steady, flashing).

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the helmet using only a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the helmet's shell or internal components.
• Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it in places where it might be exposed to high heat, such as inside a car on a hot day.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the shell, dents, or frayed straps. If any damage is found, the helmet should be replaced.
• Replacement: Helmets have a limited lifespan. Even without visible damage, materials can degrade over time. It is recommended to replace helmets every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact.

6. Troubleshooting

• Helmet feels loose: Ensure the rear adjustment dial is tightened sufficiently and the chin strap is snug. Re-check the 'V' shape of the side straps below the ears.
• Helmet is uncomfortable: Loosen the adjustment dial slightly. Ensure no hair is caught in the straps or buckle. Check that the helmet is positioned correctly on the head, not tilted too far back or forward.
• Rear light not working: Check if the battery needs replacement. Refer to the battery compartment for instructions on changing the battery (typically a small coin cell battery). Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity.
• Helmet moves excessively: This indicates an improper fit. Re-adjust the retention system and straps as described in Section 3. If the helmet still moves, it may be the wrong size for the child.
