GIANT HELMETS OWNERS MANUAL
STEP 5: CHECKING THE FIT
AND ADJUSTMENTS
Before using the helmet, make
sure it fits correctly, the straps
are correctly adjusted and the
chin strap is tight enough. Put
the helmet on in the correct
position. Fasten the chin strap
and pull it tight. Stand in front of
the mirror:
A. Check the fit
Grab the helmet with both hands
and twist it to the left and to the
right. If the helmet fits correctly,
the skin on your forehead will
move as the helmet moves. If it
does not, the helmet is too loose.
Return to Step 4.
B. Check the straps
Grab the helmet with both hands
and try to remove it by rolling
the helmet forward and
backward as far as you can.
It is very important that your
helmet DOESN’T:
• Roll forward so far as to block
your vision;
• Roll backward so far to
expose your forehead;
• Roll off your head completely
in either direction.
If any of these things happen,
your helmet is not adjusted
correctly. Repeat Steps 2 and 3
until helmet movement is
minimal.
HELMETS WITH VISORS
Some helmets come with
removable, snap-on visors. To
remove visor, follow these steps:
1. Determine what type of visor
your helmet is equipped with.
Giant’s Center-punch™ visor
is attached by a wide post
located at the center of the
visor to a receiver at the
center of the brow of the
helmet (fig. 9).
STEP 4: GETTING THE
CORRECT FIT FOR YOUR
HELMET
The helmet fits properly when it
is held firmly but comfortably in
place by the interior fit pad and
the retention system.
Conventional Fit Pads
For helmets with conventional fit
pads on the interior, pads are
held in place by hook and loop
style fasteners. Try any
combination of the different
thicknesses provided until the
helmet fits firmly and
comfortably.
Giant Autodialer Retention
System:
Follow steps 1-3 above. Then
feel for dial at the back of your
head at the occipital lobe (fig. 8).
With your thumb and index
finger, turn the dial clockwise to
tighten the fit. To loosen the fit,
turn the dial counter-clockwise
using you thumb and index
finger.

WARNING!
Make sure the loose end of the
strap passes through the
rubber "O" ring. If it does not,
the strap may slide loose and
the helmet could slip off in an
accident.
WARNING!
If you cannot adjust the helmet
so that it fits correctly
according to these instructions
or so that it is comfortable, DO
NOT USE THIS HELMET.
Replace it with a different size
or model.
