4.1 Proper Fit
A correctly fitting helmet is crucial for safety. Follow these steps to ensure a proper fit:
- Size Selection: Refer to the Fly Racing size chart to select the appropriate helmet size.
- Putting On: Grasp the chin straps and pull the helmet over your head. It should feel snug around your entire head, with even pressure.
- Cheek Pads: The cheek pads should press firmly against your cheeks.
- Forehead: The helmet should sit low on your forehead, just above your eyebrows, without obstructing your vision.
- Retention System: Fasten the chin strap securely so that it is snug under your chin. You should not be able to pull the helmet off your head when the strap is fastened.
- Movement Test: With the chin strap fastened, try to move the helmet from side to side and front to back. Your skin should move with the helmet, indicating a secure fit.
4.2 Visor Installation and Removal
The visor mechanism allows for easy removal and installation for cleaning or replacement. Consult the specific instructions provided with your helmet for detailed steps on operating the visor quick-release system.
5. Operation
5.1 Wearing the Helmet
Always ensure the helmet is properly fitted and the chin strap is securely fastened before riding. The visor should be closed while riding to protect your eyes from debris and wind.
5.2 Ventilation System
Your helmet is equipped with adjustable ventilation ports to manage airflow. Locate the vents on the front and top of the helmet. Open or close them as needed to optimize comfort based on riding conditions and temperature.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Shell
Clean the helmet shell with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish and shell material. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
6.2 Cleaning the Visor
Remove the visor from the helmet. Wash it with warm water and a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners on the visor, as they can scratch or damage the coating.
6.3 Liner Care
The helmet's interior liner is typically removable for cleaning. Hand wash the liner components with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-installing into the helmet. Ensure all components are dry to prevent mildew.
7. Troubleshooting
- Visor Fogging: Ensure ventilation ports are open. Consider using an anti-fog treatment or a Pinlock-ready visor if available.
- Loose Fit: Re-check chin strap adjustment. If the helmet still feels loose, it may be the wrong size and should be replaced with a smaller size.
- Tight Fit/Discomfort: Ensure the helmet is seated correctly. If discomfort persists, the helmet may be too small or the shape may not be compatible with your head.
- Excessive Noise: Ensure the visor is fully closed and sealed. Check for any gaps around the visor or vents.
