Before Every Journey; Checking The Helmet; Checking The Chinstrap; Checking The Face Shield And Sun Visor - SCHUBERTH C3 PRO Manual

E. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY
For your safety, check the following points before every journey:

1. CHECKING THE HELMET

Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superficial scratches will not
impair the protective function of your helmet. In the case of more serious
damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking paint, etc.), the helmet should
no longer be used.
Note:
If you have lost a significant amount of weight, you should check
that your helmet is still the right size for you.

2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP

(WITH HELMET ON AND FASTENED)
1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.
2. Slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull.
If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is too long and needs to be
tightened.
If the chinstrap loosens when you pull it, it is not properly fastened.
Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it again. Repeat the
test.
3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it fits snugly against
the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you.
Note:
Repeat the test after each adjustment.

Caution:
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted.
The chinstrap should fit correctly and should not become loose when
pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes
loose when pulled.

3. CHECKING THE FACE SHIELD AND SUN VISOR

Before every journey, check that the mechanisms of the face shield and sun
visor are working properly and that the face shield and sun visor will provide
sufficiently clear visibility. Any dirt should be removed before riding.
Check the face shield and sun visor for physical damage and cracks.
A badly scratched face shield will considerably impair your vision and should
be replaced before setting off on a journey.
Caution:
Never use tinted face shield or sun visor in conditions of poor visibility,
when riding at night or in a tunnel.
Caution:
A scratched and/or dirty face shield will seriously impair visibility.
For your own safety, replace it or clean it immediately.
Caution:
Make sure the face shield and sun visor are always in perfect condition.
A damaged face shield is not suitable for riding and needs to be
replaced.
Caution:
Stop riding if visibility is poor.
