9. PINLOCK VISOR
®
The Pinlock visor is a mist-free double shield visor in which the
conventional anti-fog coating on the visor's inner surface is replaced by
an integrated second visor shield. The two visor shields are separated
from each other and sealed by a transparent, fl exible silicon seal. The
inner visor shield is locked in place by means of eccentric pins, so the
two visor shields are pretensioned to each other and the silicone seal
is thus made tight. This in turn results in an insulated cushion of air
between visor's main – i.e. outer – and inner shields which prevents
any misting of the inner shield.
COATING
The main visor shield has a HighClear
outer and inner surfaces. The Pinlock
has an anti-fog coating on both its surfaces and so is only scratch
resistant to a limited degree.
Caution:
When not in use, the helmet should never be used to deposit
gloves or any other objects since the scratch-sensitive inner visor
shield could otherwise be damaged.
Caution:
The inner visor shield is fi tted with a protective foil to prevent any
damage in transit. Remove this foil before using the helmet for
the fi rst time.
Caution:
®
The Pinlock inner visor shield may only be used in conjunction
with the SCHUBERTH main visor that has been specially designed
for this purpose. Do not on any account fi t the Pinlock
visor to any other visor. This also expressly applies to other visor
variants.

Opening the visor
To open the visor, use your thumb
to push the visor up, using one of
the fi nger tabs situated to the left
and right of the visor, and move it
to the desired position.
Alternatively, you can use your thumb
to push under the bottom edge of
the visor in the middle to release it
from the spring element of the chin
vent. You can then push the visor
up to the desired position. Opening
the visor when the chin vent is open
automatically causes the vent to
close.
Visor lock (including city position)
The visor can be locked in any one of eight positions. The second
position (city position) locks more strongly. It is therefore easy to
feel the city position of the visor – especially while riding. When you
push the visor open, it may well travel beyond the city position, but
it is easy to fi nd this position by moving it downwards again. The
visor mechanism requires no additional lubrication. The visor can be
operated at any time irrespective of the position of the sun visor.
Closing the visor
You can close the visor by grasping
the fi nger tabs at top left and right and
pushing them down with a movement
of the hand.
