WHEN DOES THE HELMET FIT PROPERLY?
The helmet should surround the head easily, and should be worn level. The front helmet edge should sit 2 finger widths above the bridge of the nose (Fig. 2).
It is easy to check if the helmet fits correctly. All you do is leave the chinstrap undone, and shake your head. If the helmet moves tighten the spin dial and / or use thicker padding.
HOW DO I ADJUST THE CHINSTRAP CORRECTLY?
Position the Strap Adjuster (Fig. 3b) in such a way that neither junctions
nor the straps themselves touch your ears.
To adjust the straps correctly it is imperative to make sure both left and right straps are of even length. To do this open the strap lock on each Melon® Strap Adjuster. Please notice that the rear strap should be longer than the front (Fig. 2).
Once the right length has been found please close these locks.
Additionally the right side chinstrap can be shortened in its entirety, by pulling it further through the
Fidlock® magnetic buckle loop (Fig. 3c).
To check for correct fit, place helmet on head and make any adjustments indicated. Securely fasten retention system. Grasp the helmet and try to rotate it to the front and rear.
A correctly fitted helmet should be comfortable and should not move forward to obscure
vision or rearward to expose the forehead.
HOW DOES THE FIDLOCK® MAGNETIC BUCKLE WORK?
The Melon® urban active helmets come fitted with Fidlock® magnetic closure systems. These are very simple to use and close by placing both ends on top of each other.
To open the closure, simply push the outside part in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 3c).
Before setting off, always make sure the chinstrap is closed!
CONNECTOR OPENINGS & IMPACT BLOCKER SLOT
Your Melon® helmet has small bays at the front helmet edge for Melon® accessories such as the Melon® Vista Visor UV400 (Fig.6), which can be purchased as an accessory.
VISIBILITY ALSO AT NIGHT
The Melon® helmet has reflective logos at the front and the back made of high quality 3M reflective material.
WARNING
- The Melon® Urban Active Helmets are not designed to be used with petrol powered push bikes/mopeds/scooters or vehicles which are classed as Motor cycles.
- Before setting off, always make sure the chinstrap is closed.
- The helmet is not to be painted or have stickers stuck on its surface.
This is because the helmet may damaged and rendered ineffective by petroleum products, cleaning agents, paints, adhesives and the like, without the damage being
visible to the user. - The helmet should be checked in regular intervals for damage.
Small indentations and scratches on the surface however should not reduce the overall protective effect, if not effected by severe blow. - The helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction of the shell and liner.
This damage may not be visible. Therefore, if subjected to a severe blow, the helmet
should be destroyed and replaced even if it appears undamaged. - When repairing (repairable damage!) any part of the helmet. Use only original parts!
- The helmet is not to be stored or hung up, hanging from the chinstrap.
- You should avoid wearing the following under your helmet: headscarves, beanies,
long hair in a bun, or similar, as this could lead to subsequent injuries.
- No attachments should be made to the helmet except those recommended by the
helmet manufacturer.
- CAUTION! This helmet should not be worn during activities where a risk of
strangulation is high through capture, such as climbing.
