For the best possible protection, please observe the following guidelines:
1. Usage
This helmet is recommended as protective equipment for the following activities (fig. A).
It is not suitable for the following activities (fig. B).
Attention: Please note that it is necessary for children to remove their helmets before
entering playgrounds. This helmet should not be used by children while climbing or
doing other activities when there is a risk of strangulation/hanging if the child gets
trapped with the helmet.
2. Optimum fit
• Please try various sizes for comfort and security, ensuring that the helmet sits
horizontally on your head.
• Do not pull the helmet over your forehead, reducing visibility.
• Do not push the helmet towards the back of your head, as this will not protect
your forehead.
The helmet can only protect your head if it fits correctly (fig. C).
3. Adjustement of the head ring
Almost all ABUS helmets are available in 2 sizes.
Adjusting the helmet to the individual head size
can be achieved, depending on the type, with the
following easy to use fitting systems.
The INDY helmet does not require an adjustment system and comes with various pads to
achieve the optimum fit.

4. Adjustment of the straps
When wearing the helmet for the first time, please adjust the straps so that they meet
tautly and comfortably beneath the ears.
The easily adjustable triangular locks (fig. 1 + 2) on both sides, with their optional fastener
(fig. 1) help you in doing so.
The child proof lock must be engaged properly, before first use, with an audible "click" to
prevent accidental displacement.
Make sure the chin-guard, which must be locked before every ride, doesn't lie on the
jaw-bone (fig. 3 – 5).
After adjustment, the overlapping straps can be secured with the strap clip (fig. 6).
Should the straps be too long, please cut them down to the required length and seal the
ends with a match flame to prevent fraying.
