Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Bell 4Forty, first loosen the rear dial, place the helmet on your head, and tighten until snug but comfortable. Ensure the No-Twist Tri-Glides sit just below your ears to keep the side straps secure. For maintenance, clean the exterior shell with mild soap and water only. Remove the internal pads periodically to hand-wash them in cool water and allow them to air dry. Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the integrity of the protective materials. Always check the helmet for visible cracks or stress marks after any significant impact.
