Safety Precautions
Please ensure that the product is properly used by observing the warnings and cautions below to
prevent any risk and/or damage to property.
Product Storage and Management
• Keep the product free of dust. It may damage mechanical and electronic parts of the product.
• Do not store the product in high temperatures as this may reduce the life span of electronic
devices, damage the battery, and/or melt plastic parts of the product.
• Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the decoration, the inner shell of the
helmet and the interior lining.
• Do not store the product in cold temperatures. Abrupt changes in temperatures may cause
condensation and damage electronic circuits.
• Do not clean the product with cleaning solvents, toxic chemicals, or strong detergents as this
may damage the product.
• Direct contact with motor fuel, thinners or solvents can destroy the structure of the inner and
outer shell. Make sure the helmet does not come into contact with such substances, even for
cleaning purposes.
• Do not paint the product. Paint may obstruct moving parts or interfere with the normal operation
of the product.
• Do not drop or otherwise shock the product. It may damage the product or its internal electronic
circuits.
• Do not disassemble, repair or modify the product as this may damage the product and invalidate
the product warranty.
• Do not store the product in humid environments, especially for long time storage.
• The helmet should be replaced after 5 to 7 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.
• Original components (in particular on the outer shell, inner shell and restraint system) should not
be altered or removed. The fitting of additional parts from other manufacturers that have not been
recommended can reduce the protective effect and renders the DOT certification and all warranty
and insurance claims invalid.
• Use only original parts, replacement parts and accessories that Sena has expressly approved for
your helmet.
Product Use
• Motorcycling is associated with particular risks and dangers for the rider and passenger. These
risks and dangers can be reduced, but not eliminated completely, by wearing a helmet. It is
impossible to state precisely what the protective effect of a helmet will be in the event of an
accident. Safe riding techniques, adapted to the particular road and weather conditions, are
essential for your safety.
• To provide adequate protection, the helmet must fit well and be securely fastened.
• Always fasten the chinstrap before setting off and check that the fastening system and strap are
correctly in position.
• Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The chinstrap must be correctly
positioned and must not come loose when pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the
chinstrap becomes loose when pulled.
• The full protective function of a helmet can no longer be guaranteed after an accident or impact.
Like the crumple zone of a car, the impact energy of a collision is absorbed by complete or partial
destruction of the structure of the outer and/or inner shell of the helmet. Because of the way
helmets are designed, this damage is rarely visible from the outside. The safety helmet is
designed to absorb only one impact. It is therefore essential to replace the helmet after a fall,
accident or other violent impact. For safety reasons, the old helmet should be rendered unusable.
