F. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Never use petroleum-based chemicals, solvents, gasoline, cleaning
agents or adhesives to clean the shell, liners, or visors of your helmet.
Your helmet shell, liner and visors may be seriously damaged by the use
of such products and the full safety function of the helmet can then no
longer be guaranteed.
1. SHELL CLEANING
To clean the helmet shell, only use warm mild soapy water or
commercially available mild soaps made for that purpose.
Using water and soap is usually sufficient. Make sure when using any
other cleaning materials that these do not risk damaging the cleaned
surfaces.
2. INTERIOR CLEANING
The inner lining of the PYRA helmet can be removed completely.
The head and cheek pads can be washed by hand using a mild soap
solution (e.g. with highly diluted standard mild detergent) at a maximum
temperature of 30 °C.
Hand washing is recommended, but machine washing is also permitted.
Use the "delicate" cycle to prevent the agitator from damaging the sweat-
wicking material covering the liner parts. Allow the lining to dry at room
temperature and with good ventilation.
Do not place lining parts in the dryer: Excess heat may damage the foam
and coverings.

3. HELMET INSPECTION
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.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, always inspect your helmet
before each ride.
The helmet should be replaced 3 to 5 years after the date of purchase,
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 helmet
esthetics, the inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining.
4. HELMET STORAGE
• Store helmet in a cool and dry place;
• 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;
•Store helmet in a helmet bag.
Improperly stored helmet can become damaged.
