STEP 1: WEAR YOUR HELMET IN ITS PROPER POSITION
Always wear the helmet low in the
front to protect the forehead (Fig. 1A).
Never wear the helmet tipped back to
expose your forehead (Fig. 1B).
IMPORTANT: All tting adjustments
MUST be made with the helmet in the
proper position. Failure to do so will
result in a poor t. This will allow the
helmet to move out of position or come off in an accident.
STEP 2: ADJUST THE STRAPS
(If your Bell
®
helmet is equipped with the One-Step Fit
System, you may skip ahead to Step 3.)
To adjust the position of the straps:
A. Open the Cam-Lock adjustors (Figure 2). Put the
helmet on and slide the straps through the adjustors
until they are located in the correct position as
indicated in (Figure 3).
B. Make sure there is no slack in any of the straps
when the adjustors are positioned correctly.
C. Close and lock the Cam-Lock adjustors. The front and
rear straps should join at the point slightly below and
in front of (but not covering) the ears (Figure 3).
STEP 3: ADJUST THE CHIN STRAP
Always wear the helmet with the chin strap buckle
fastened and the strap pulled tight. Figures 4 and 5 show
how to fasten and release the buckle. Make sure the strap
is well back against the throat, NOT on the point of the
chin. Straps worn on the point of the chin increase the
chance of the helmet coming off
in an accident. Figure 6 shows the
proper position of the chin strap.
WARNING: Make sure the
loose end of the strap passes
through the rubber “O” ring (Figure
7). If it does not, the strap may slide loose and the
helmet can come off accidentally.
STEP 4: GETTING THE CORRECT FIT
The helmet ts correctly when it is held rmly but
comfortably in place by the interior t pads and the t
system. Identify your helmet’s t system by matching
it to one of the illustrations and follow the accompanying adjustment
instructions.
A. ErgoDial Fit System
Follow steps 1–3 above.
Next, press the button on
top of the ErgoDial (Figure 8)
with your ngers and turn dial
with your thumb clockwise
to tighten, counterclockwise to
loosen (Figure 9) to a comfortable t.
The t system should be snug, but not uncomfortably tight.
B. Geared Positions System
(GPS) Fit System
Follow steps 1–3 above.
Next, nd the GPS gear
located at the back of your
head at your occipital lobe
