Visor Adjustment
Visor adjustment is critical to ensure a full range of vision. HJC recommends adjusting
the visor to its highest position, lowering it only when riding in muddy conditions to offer
better "roost" protection. (DO NOT over tighten the side or center adjustment screws).
Maintaining Your Helmet Correctly
Shell Cleaning
Only use approved methods to clean the helmet. Using other unapproved chemicals or methods may damage the helmet shell
or lining. A damaged helmet may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Glossy Finish. HJC recommends cleaning your helmet with products designed for automotive cleaning and polishing. All HJC
helmets are finished with an automotive type base coat/clear coat finish. Rubbing compounds can be used for deep cleaning to
remove many scratches and scuffs. Follow the product's instructions diligently. Over polishing with rubbing compounds can cause
light abrasions which may dull the finish of your helmet. Stickers and decals will leave adhesive residue when removed. To remove
the adhesive residue, use alcohol swabs. Be certain to immediately wipe away the excess liquid and clean the area with soap and
water once the adhesive residue is removed. Do not use excessive pressure while rubbing when attempting to remove the adhesive
residue, instead use multiple light treatments.
Non-Glossy Finish. For our flat finish (non-glossy) helmets, we recommend using warm water and mild soap. Use multiple
treatments for heavier dirt. Do not use excessive pressure or rubbing compounds while cleaning the surface as a "glossy" effect
could be created, running the flat finish appearance.
Interior Cleaning
Although we recommend changing a helmet every 3 to 5 years, the accumulation of sweat, humidity and dirt can deteriorate the
fabric and stitching and this may cause odor. To wash HJC removable pads, HJC recommends regular machine washing and air
drying. For non-removable interiors, HJC recommends using bacteria and mildew eliminating products such as "Helmet Fresh."
Vent Cleaning
Dirt and debris can find its way into venting of your HJC helmet. Compressed air cans used for cleaning computer keyboards may
be used to blow the debris from the ventilation system. It is recommended that you remove any removable pads before doing this
process.
Shield Cleaning
The helmet shield is made of polycarbonate materials with a polyurethane abrasion resistance coating. It should be cleaned using
a weak solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use hot water, salt water, benzene, thinner, gasoline or any other harsh agents.
Treat carefully when cleaning to preserve the abrasion resistant coating. When deep scratches are visible, it is highly recommended
that the helmet shield be replaced. Tinted shield are for "Day time use only" and are not suitable for use at night or in conditions of
poor visibility.
Visor & Shield Removal
1. Unscrew the visor center adjust screw.
2. Unscrew the visor side screw.
3. The visor and the shield will be automatically released off the helmet.
Do not rely on the snap to secure the
helmet. The snap is provided only to
prevent the strap from flapping in the
air. Fasten the retention system only
in the following manner :

Always check to make sure helmet pads are installed before using the helmet. A helmet with missing or improperly installed
pads may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Cheek Pad Removal
There are 3 snaps holding the cheek pad in place.
1. Gently pry the check pad away from the interior, releasing the snaps.
2. Grasp the cheek pad near its center and gently pull it free from the chin strap.
Cheek Pad Installation
1. Feed the chin strap through the opening in the cheek pad.
2. Align and fully slide the cheek pad plastic plate between shell and EPS.
3. Clip the cheek pad's 3 small male snaps to the 3 female snaps fixed on the shell interior.
