Before Every Ride; Checking The Helmet; Checking The Chinstrap; Checking The Face Shield And Sun Visor - BRP ADVEX User Manual

D. BEFORE EVERY RIDE

1. CHECKING THE HELMET

Regularly inspect your helmet for damage. Small superficial scratches will
not impair the protective function of your helmet.
In the case of more serious damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking
paint, etc.), the helmet should no longer be used.

2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP

1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.
2. Slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull.
If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is too long and needs to be
tightened. If the chinstrap loosens when you pull it, it is not properly
fastened. Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it again. Repeat
the test.
3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it fits firmly against the
chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you.
Repeat the test after each adjustment.
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The
chinstrap should fit correctly and should not become loose when pulled.
The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when
pulled.

3. CHECKING THE FACE SHIELD AND SUN VISOR

The protective film used during shipping should be removed before use.
Before every ride, check that the mechanisms of the face shield and sun
visor are working properly and that the face shield and sun visor will
provide sufficiently clear visibility. Any dirt should be removed before
riding.
Check the face shield and sun visor for physical damage and cracks.
A badly scratched face shield will considerably impair your vision and
should be replaced before setting off on a journey.
Never use tinted face shield or sun visor in conditions of poor visibility,
when riding at night or in a tunnel.
A scratched and/or dirty face shield will seriously impair visibility.
For your own safety, replace it or clean it immediately.
Make sure the face shield and sun visor are always in good condition.
A damaged face shield is not suitable for riding and needs to be replaced.
Stop riding if visibility is poor.
