Wind Deflector; Chin Bar - SCHUBERTH E1 Manual

C. THE HELMET

8. WIND DEFLECTOR

The wind deflector is shortened to a minimum in order to provide enough
fresh air, even in off-road use. The additional wind deflector, when mounted,
prevents unwanted inrush of wind into the helmet while driving. Additionally,
the anti-noise pad can help reduce noise levels in the helmet.
The additional wind deflector is attached to the inside
of the acoustic collar with the help of the Velcro strap,
and it can be removed if desired to let in additional
fresh air in warm weather.
Tip:
The fit of the bottom of the helmet is extremely important in ensuring
that the helmet is as quiet as possible. If you have a smaller neck size,
we recommend that you also wear a scarf.

9. CHIN BAR

The E1 is equipped with a chin bar that pivots up and can be easily opened
and closed by means of the operating element located in the middle of the
chin bar. The movement of the section required for this is optimised for
convenient, smooth operation.
LOCK SYSTEM
The chin section is equipped with a specially developed lock system on the
left and the right side. The construction design of the lock system is similar
to the door lock systems used in car design. Despite there being locks on
both sides, the chin section opens with only one button. The lock in the
opposite side is simultaneously operated by bowden cable. The mechanically
optimised system reduces the force need to operate the two locks to a
comfortable 16 N, although the safety-relevant overall locking force is many
times this amount.
OPERATION
The chin bar can be opened at any time irrespective of the position of
the visor or sun visor. The stiff, positive engagement at the end of travel
ensures the chin bar remains safely in place when raised.
OPENING THE CHIN BAR
1. Open the chin bar by sliding the red
button located in the middle of the chin
zone forwards in the direction of the
arrow as far as it will go, using your
thumb.
2. The Bowden cable mechanism will then
release both locks and you can pivot
the chin section up to its uppermost
locking position.
Note:
The E1's chin bar mechanism is equipped with a safety feature which
prevents the chin bar from opening of its own accord in the event of a
fall, so when opening it you should also grip the chin bar with one hand.
Note:
The positioning of the shield is aligned with the opening for the chin
section to guarantee optimal movement of the chin section.
