• 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.
• The helmet safety mechanism described above can also cause small cracks in the shell when the helmet
is dropped from a small height (less than 1 meter).
• Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact should be replaced.
