INSPECTION SERVICE

Helmets should at a minimum be inspected closely after an accident. On the outside of the helmet, you should
look for signs of delamination or surface cracking and exposed composite material under the paint finish. On
the inside of the helmet, you should look under the foam fit pad to determine if you see any signs that the
helmet's inner liner has been damaged or compressed. However, even the most through self-inspection can fail
to detect signs of damage. Since helmet damage is not always visible following an accident, it is always best to
replace your helmet once it has been subject to a significant impact. If you lose consciousness, suffer a
concussion, or sustain other internal or external head injury from a racing accident, we recommend replacing
the helmet. If you've owned your helmet for less than five (5) years, Bell Racing will examine the helmet at no
cost and provide you with a written report of the damage and an estimate of the cost to repair the helmet and
return it to a like new condition. Repairs will only be performed with your approval and only if the helmet can be
returned to its original condition. Bell reserves the right to refuse to repair helmets which have been altered by
the owner or any third party.

RADIO INSTALLATION

On select full face models, Bell has designed recessed areas into the face
piece assembly installed in the front chin bar area of the helmet to allow for
the installation of radio boom microphones without damaging the interior.
Bell recommends installing the radio boom microphone on the back side of
the face piece (side facing the shell). There is a specific area in the front of
the face piece designed to accommodate the radio microphone by removing
the soft foam piece in the center of the face piece assembly. Proper
installation of radio equipment is the responsibility of the consumer and they
assume all risks.
