- Page 1 USER’S INSTRUCTIONS...
- Page 2 APEX was developed and tested to assure, together with the safety features, the best level of comfort and noise reduction during ordinary conditions of use. However, the particular configuration of the vehicle and/or the position of the rider or both factors can entail situations that could not be foreseen during the manufacturing of the product that may generate aerodynamic rustles or hissing sounds.
- Page 3 Interchangeable side cheek pads, available in different thicknesses to assure the best fit for all head sizes. The APEX ventilation system, along with the particular shape of the internal polystyrene shell, optimizes outside and inside air flows, fed by air intakes, which exploit the Venturi effect thus optimizing internal ventilation. The back deflector was designed to reduce the vibrations on the helmet, moving as far as possible the “detachment”...

Page 4: General Rules
Do not use scarves or neck guards which could make the strap slide and the helmet fly off in case of crash. APEX was designed to be used with most of the eyeglasses on the market. In any case check how the helmet fits with the glasses before purchasing it. -
Page 5: Use And Maintenance
USE and MAINTENANCE Only use original Suomy accessories and spare parts or those specifically indicated by Suomy for the specific model: this is the only way to assure reliability, safety and compatibility with the helmet used. The use of non original components and/or accessories make the warranty void (see warranty conditions on page 31) and can affect the safety requirements. - Page 6 Caution: do not clean the visor inside, because the ANTIFOG MIST RETARDANT (FOGCITY® film) could be damaged and thus affect the duration and efficiency of the visor itself. Suomy therefore, cannot be held responsible if this should occur. During cleaning operations, carefully handle the visor to avoid damaging the anti-scratch and anti-fog coating. Never use solvents, alcohol, fuels, thinning substances or abrasive powders;...

- Page 8 USER’S INSTRUCTIONS BACK AIR DEFLECTOR see figure 4A and 4B Removal see figure 4A The back deflector is fixed to the shell through two-way adhesive tape, to remove it just lift (X) one side and pull upwards firmly. If it is difficult to remove, use a tool (for ex.
- Page 9 Inner side padding: CHEEK PADS – Assembly and disassembly The cheek pads are fixed to the inner lining of the helmet through a mechanism applied to the chin guard that can be enabled without using tools (SUOMY patent). Removal see figure 6 Push (X) the lever (A) to the back of the helmet until it is released from the lock position.
- Page 10 USER’S INSTRUCTIONS Assembly see figure 7 Verify that the locking lever (A) is completely tilted up. Inset (X) the strap (B) in the hole (C) inside the cheek pad. Fix the back part of the cheek pad to the fixed part of the internal lining. Verify that the fastening tab (D) is correctly inserted in the specific seat (E).
- Page 11 There are two locking positions: completely closed and completely open. There are no intermediate locking positions, because APEX has a friction system (W). It locks the visor in any position; they depend on the speed. When the vehicle is moving the visor must be completely closed.
- Page 12 After completing this operation verify that the visor is tightly fixed to the helmet, that it rotates freely and that it locks correctly into the locking positions. If this doesn’t happen and the rotation mechanism of the visor doesn’t work correctly, do not use the helmet and contact authorized Suomy personnel only. Adjustment see figure 10 If, after replacing or using the helmet for a long period of time, there should be leaking from the edges of the visor when it is completely closed, it might be necessary to adjust the visor’s operation mechanism.
- Page 13 USER’S INSTRUCTIONS TEAR-OFF VISORS see figure 11 Before applying the “TEAR-OFF” visor, remove (X) the protection film from the side that touches the visor’s surface. Insert the loop (A) in the pin (B). Pull the free side of the tear-off visor until the opposite loop (C) is inserted (Y) in the opposite pin (D), pressing it against the helmet’s visor to eliminate the air below guaranteeing the complete adhesion of the visor itself.
- Page 14 (A) until the lower edge of the nose guard is completely fitted on to the edge of the shell. If these conditions are not verified and the nose guard does not adhere to the edge of the shell or is not correctly positioned, do not use the helmet and exclusively contact authorized Suomy per- sonnel. figure 12...

Suomy undertakes to repair the defective product (or one of its part) or to replace it (at Suomy S.p.A.’s discretion), with no extra charge for the parts and the labour. - Page 16 Thanks to this process, the face shield is anti scratch and anti fog and there is no need to use additional lenses on the visor. The D-RING RETENTION SYSTEM has been designed and patented by Suomy. Insert the free side of the strap in the rings. Pull the end until the strap presses firmly against the jaw.

Page 18: Spare Parts Description
The SHELL is a polystyrene with channels for inside air flows. In the front part there is a AIR VENTILATION with on/off system, which gets the internal helmet ventilation. On the chin part there is an adjustable AIR VENTILATION. SPOILER AND BACK AIR VENTILATION: produced in polycarbonate , it has been studied and tested in wind tunnel, so that the point of detachment of the aerodynamic flow is shifted as far away as possible from the shell. - Page 19 Clear KASRVT Racing Visors Light Smoke KASRVF Dark Smoke KASRVS Special Rain Racing Visor Clear Antifog KASPVR Racing tear-off kit KASSVT Cover Kit Clear KA10C0 Inner Covered Chin Guard KAAP0M00 Air Vent Black Chin Guard KAFP02 Full Pivot Kit KA9906 Nose Deflector Black KA8808...
