F. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

6. SUN VISOR

6.1 CLEANING THE SUN VISOR
The sun visor should only be cleaned with a soft and, if necessary, slightly
damp cloth (we recommend a microfiber cloth).
Only use tepid water (< 20 °C) for cleaning. Never on any account clean the
face shield or sun visor with petrol, solvent, a window or glass cleaner or other
cleaning agents containing alcohol.
The face shield should not be soaked in water even if it is very dirty on the
outside, as this will severely reduce the surface hardness and thus the
durability of the anti-fog/anti-scratch coating.
Never attach labels, adhesive tape or stickers to the face shield or sun visor.
Stubborn dirt on the outer surface of the face shield (e.g. dried-on insect
remains) can be easily removed by covering the closed visor with a moist or
wet cloth and allowing the dirt to soften for around 30 minutes to 1 hour.

7. HELMET INSPECTION

Check the face shield and its mechanism. Retighten it, if necessary. Be sure
not to overtighten any screws. Base plate screws can break and visor screws
can strip screw sleeves if overtightened.
Check for helmet damages. If your helmet is damaged or cracked, stop using
it immediately and replace it.
Check for worn or damaged parts. Plastic components may wear out over
time. If you find worn or damaged parts, replace them or purchase a new
helmet. See "Replacement parts" for information on parts replacement.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, always inspect your helmet on a
regular basis.
The helmet should be replaced after 3 to 5 years, depending on use and care.
Although the outer shell is in principle capable of a longer service life, the
occurrence of material fatigue and wear to other components, as well as the
overall action of the helmet and the unknown conditions in which the helmet
has been used, make it advisable for your own safety to replace the helmet
after this period of use.
Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the decoration, the
inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining.

8. HELMET STORAGE

• Keep helmet away from pets and other animals;
• Keep helmet away from heat more than 50ºC
(122ºF) and do not set on or near hot surfaces;
