CHOOSING A HELMET THAT FITS WELL
EN
In order that you may benet from maximum security, the helmet must
be well adapted to the size of your
head. Put on the headphones, and
hold it rmly with both hands, you will
be incapable of turning your head at
all, in any direction, within the helmet.
If you are able to turn your head easily,
then the helmet is too big. If the hel-
met exerts too much pressure on your
head, then it is probably too small and
there is the risk of headaches and your
concentration being impaired. Once
the chinstrap is tightened, you should
not be tilting your head within the hel-
met. Ask your ROOF helmets dealer for advice: they should be able to
help you nd the helmet that ts your head perfectly.

A FEW TIPS
Before setting off, always ensure that your helmet ts properly and that
it is in perfect working water. Take driving lessons and avoid using the
road if you are tired or under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Do not
make modications to your helmet or attach anything to it. Do not paint
your helmet as this may damage it; if you decide to paint it regardless,
use only paints which dry by evaporation. Check that your screen is
clean and free of scratches. Never go on the road with your helmet
hanging on a hook. Don’t let your helmet be exposed to excessively
high temperatures (e.g.: near heating devices or to sunlight behind a
car windshield). Never buy a second helmet – you never know whether
it has already seen a real shock in its past. Never let another person use
your helmet, because with this there will be the risk of it no longer being
able to t your head properly.
