This instruction manual is for individuals responsible for the child. You
must read and discuss the instructions with your children so they can
better understand the uses and limitations of their helmet.
Climbing and mountaineering helmet
Helmet for cycling
Field of application
- Helmet for climbing, mountaineering, caving, canyoning, via ferrata and vertical
sports using similar techniques.
- Helmet for cycling.
Do not use this helmet in activities for which it is not designed.
Wearing a helmet can significantly reduce the risks associated with these activities,
but cannot entirely eliminate them.
In a major impact, the helmet deforms to absorb the maximum amount of energy
possible, sometimes to the point of destroying the helmet.

bicycle helmets
Limited impact protection
- A helmet can not always protect you from injury. Serious injury or death can
result from even a mnor accident. The greater the speed and/or fall distance
involved in an accident, the less protection will be provided by the helmet. Any
helmet that has sustained a major impact should be destroyed and retired, even
though damage may not be visible to the eye.
- A helmet can only protect what it covers. It does not protect the neck or any part
of the head that it does not cover. It can not protect against spinal or other bodily
injuries that may result from an accident.
Strangulation warning
The helmet should be worn by the child only when engaged in activities described
in the Field of Application; it should not be worn when the child is engaging in
other activities. There is a danger of strangulation if the helmet is worn where
constrictions are present (for example, in a narrow cave passage, a tree, or on
playground equipment with narrow openings). The helmet can become jammed in
a constriction and strangulation by the chin strap could result.
Message to parents
This helmet is NOT a toy. DO NOT let your children play with it. They can
accidentally damage it or injure themselves. You should thoroughly review
this notice with your child, so that he or she can better understand the usage
capabilities and limitations of the helmet.
WARNING
Activities involving the use of this equipment are inherently dangerous.
You are responsible for your own actions and decisions.
Before using this equipment, you must:
- Read and understand all instructions for use.
- Get specific training in its proper use.
- Become acquainted with its capabilities and limitations.
- Understand and accept the risks involved.
Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in severe injury or death.
Responsibility
WARNING, specific training in the activities defined in the field of application is
essential before use.
This product must only be used by competent and responsible persons, or those
placed under the direct and visual control of a competent and responsible person.
Gaining an adequate apprenticeship in appropriate techniques and methods of
protection is your own responsibility.
You personally assume all risks and responsibilities for all damage, injury or death
which may occur during or following incorrect use of our products in any manner
whatsoever. If you are not able, or not in a position to assume this responsibility or
to take this risk, do not use this equipment.
Nomenclature of parts
(1) Shell, (2) Internal liner, (3) Headband, (4) Headband adjustment clips,
(5) Front-to-rear chinstrap adjuster, (6) Chinstrap buckle and adjuster,
(7) Headlamp clips, (8) Rear hole for clipping the SiGNAL lighting.
Principal materials
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) shell, internal liner of high-density expanded
polystyrene foam, polyester webbing straps.
Inspection, points to verify
Before each use, verify that there are no cracks or deformities on the inside or
outside of the shell and the internal liner, check that the straps, stitching, and the
headband attachment system are undamaged, and that the headband adjustment
system and chinstrap buckle are working properly.
WARNING, a major impact to the helmet can significantly reduce its protective
properties without leaving visible signs of damage. Retire your helmet after a major
impact.
Consult the details of the inspection procedure to be carried out for each item of
PPE on the Web at www.petzl.com/ppe or on the PETZL PPE CD-ROM.
Contact PETZL if there is any doubt about the condition of this product.
Putting on and adjustments
Diagram 1. Headband
Put the helmet on your child's head, pinch the two headband adjustment clips (4)
and tighten the headband to fit comfortably.
Diagram 2. Chinstrap
- Position the adjusters (5) under the ears. To adjust the chinstrap backwards or
forwards, slide the webbing through the adjusters.
- Fasten the chinstrap using the buckle. You must hear the buckle "click" to ensure
proper fastening. Tighten the chinstrap to fit comfortably. A correctly adjusted
chinstrap reduces the risk of the helmet coming off accidentally.
- You must pull on the chinstrap to verify that the buckle is properly fastened.
- To open the buckle (6), press the two sides as shown.
Functional test
Do not forget to check that your child's helmet is correctly fastened and centered
on the head. A well-adjusted helmet (minimal movement front to back or side to
side), provides better protection. Make sure that it is correctly adjusted, that the
webbing straps, the chin strap and head band are properly tightened (minimal
movement of the helmet to the front, rear and side).
DO NOT USE THIS HELMET if you are unable to adjust it to fit properly. Replace it
with a helmet of a different size or model.
Precautions for use
- WARNING, children should not use this helmet in situations where the helmet
may become snagged (for example, in a tight cave passage, in a tree, or on
playground equipment) as this poses a risk of strangulation or hanging by the
chinstrap.
- Your helmet can be damaged from improper care. Do not sit on it, pack it too
tightly, drop it, allow it to contact sharp or pointed objects, etc.
Do not expose your helmet to high temperatures, for example by leaving it inside a
vehicle in direct sunlight.
- Use stickers supplied by Petzl. Paint and stickers may contain materials that, with
4
A49_PICCHU_A495000B (230709)
time, can alter the physical properties of the helmet. Before applying any of these
products, verify their compatibility with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene.
- Certain chemical products, especially solvents, can damage your helmet. Protect
your helmet.
