1. Important Safety Information
This LaScoota Multi-Sport Helmet is designed to provide protection during various activities such as cycling, skateboarding, roller skating, and scootering. For your safety, please read and understand all instructions before use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
- Always wear a helmet when participating in sports activities that carry a risk of head injury.
- A helmet can only protect if it fits properly and is worn correctly.
- Inspect your helmet regularly for any signs of damage. If the helmet has sustained an impact, even if no damage is visible, it should be replaced immediately.
- Do not modify the helmet or attach accessories not approved by the manufacturer.
- Clean the helmet only with mild soap and water. Solvents or harsh chemicals can damage the helmet's protective materials.
2. Setup and Sizing
Proper helmet fit is crucial for effective protection. Follow these steps to ensure your helmet fits correctly.
2.1 Measuring Head Circumference
To determine the correct helmet size, measure your head circumference. Wrap a flexible tape measure around the largest part of your head, approximately one inch (2.5 cm) above your eyebrows. Alternatively, use a string to encircle your head, then measure the length with a ruler. Repeat this process a few times and use the largest measurement.
Figure 1: Head measurement guide and size chart. Sizes are Small (18.9-21.2 in / 48-54 cm), Medium (21.2-22.4 in / 54-57 cm), and Large (22.4-24 in / 57-61 cm).
2.2 Adjusting the Helmet
- Placement: Position the helmet squarely on your head, covering your forehead. It should not be tilted back or forward.
- Adjustable Band (Dial): Use the rotating dial at the back of the helmet to tighten or loosen the fit. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until the helmet feels snug but comfortable. It should not move side-to-side or front-to-back when you shake your head.
- Chin Strap: Fasten the chin strap buckle. Adjust the straps so they form a "V" shape under your ears. The strap should be snug enough that you can only fit one or two fingers between the strap and your chin.
- Padded Chin Strap: The helmet includes a padded chin strap for comfort and security. Ensure it is positioned correctly to prevent chafing.

4.1 Cleaning the Helmet
To clean your helmet, use only mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's materials and compromise its protective capabilities. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
4.2 Inner Liners
The helmet includes removable and adjustable inner foam liners for comfort and hygiene. These liners can be removed for cleaning. Hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them into the helmet.

4.3 Inspection
Before each use, inspect your helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or frayed straps. If any damage is found, or if the helmet has been involved in an impact, it should be replaced immediately, even if damage is not visible. The helmet's protective capacity may be compromised after an impact.
5. Troubleshooting
- Helmet feels loose: Tighten the adjustable dial at the back of the helmet and ensure the chin strap is snug.
- Helmet feels too tight or uncomfortable: Loosen the adjustable dial. Check if the inner liners are correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, verify your head measurement against the size chart to ensure you have the correct helmet size.
- Straps are uncomfortable: Adjust the strap position around your ears to form a "V" shape. Ensure the padded chin strap is properly aligned.
- Excessive sweating: While the helmet has a ventilation system, intense activity can still cause sweating. Ensure the helmet is clean and the vents are not obstructed.
