When riding in France, the highway code requires the use of safety reflectors (supplied separately in a pouch) positioned in accordance with the appended drawing.

The USA imposes specific regulations; helmets with ECE certification only must not be used in these territories unless also DOTFMVSS 218-certified.

No helmet can fully protect the user from all possible impacts at high or low speeds. However, for effective protection, the helmet must be the right size and the chinstrap must be properly tightened as described in the manual. It is dangerous not to use a helmet that fits properly or not to tighten the chinstrap fastener correctly, as the helmet could come off of your head in the event of an accident, resulting in serious or life-threatening injuries.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE

Each helmet size from XS to XXL is designed for a specific head size. To measure your head circumference, wrap a tape measure horizontally around your head, 2.5 cm above your eyebrows. If the measurement falls between two given sizes, try the smaller helmet first.
However, since skull morphologies vary, the size references are given solely to guide you towards choosing the most suitable size for your head. For effective protection, check that the helmet fits your head properly.
When choosing a new helmet, check that your head is firmly seated in the helmet, with the top of the field of view positioned above your eyebrows. Also check that the chinstrap is properly tightened as shown overleaf.

1. Your head must be well encased in the helmet and your cheeks must provide a good hold. If this is not the case, the chosen helmet is too big. In this case try a smaller size. See Fig. A.
   
2. With the chinstrap properly tightened, make sure that the helmet does not move too much up and down or sideways. You should feel your skin pull on your head and face when you move the helmet. If this is not the case, the chosen helmet is too big. In this case try a smaller size. See Fig. B.
   
3. With the chinstrap tightened, grab the back of the helmet by the base and try to pull it off your head in a twisting motion.
   Then try to remove the helmet by grasping it by the base of the chin guard.
   This must be done vigorously. If the helmet starts to come off, the chosen helmet is too big. In this case, try a smaller size.
4. Tilt your head forwards as far as possible. The base of the chin guard should not touch your chest. See Fig. C.
   
5. Tilt your head backwards as far as possible. The base of the helmet should not touch your back.

Hair must not be rolled or tied up inside the helmet. Do not put anything in/on your hair inside the helmet. Do not add anything to the interior of the helmet to adjust its position on your head.
If you have any questions about how to choose the right helmet size, ask your retailer for advice. Each of these steps must be repeated throughout the helmet's life, as comfort foams can change over time. If the helmet no longer fits properly during its life, it should be replaced.

Never lend your helmet to someone else without ensuring that it fits that person, by following the instructions in this manual.

If you find the helmet does not fit perfectly after following these instructions, DO NOT USE IT. In such a case, choose a different size or model.

CHINSTRAP

Depending on the version and country, your OXO helmet is equipped with a «Precise Lock» ratchet chinstrap or with a double D-ring chinstrap fastener.

PRECISE LOCK

The «Precise Lock» ratchet system allows for fine and precise adjustment due to its long, ladder portion.

However, check that the length of the chinstrap is suitable for your morphology before purchasing. Adjust the chinstrap length using the slider (Fig. A, B, C, D). Put on your OXO helmet and attach the retention system. When the «Precise Lock» is set to the middle position, the chinstrap should be properly tightened under the chin to ensure that the helmet fits securely without causing discomfort or pain.

To secure the chinstrap, simply push the ladder strap into the slot in the ring strap until it is perfectly taught (Fig. E). The ladder strap engages and locks automatically.

To release the chinstrap, lift the lever (Fig. F) and pull the ladder strap out of the ring strap. Although the ladder strap allows the fit to be refined for each use, it is important to regularly check that the chinstrap length setting is correct.

Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or too loose, even if the interior liner gives you a feeling of support, as the helmet may come off in the event of a fall. Never apply lubricants, acids, grease or solvents to any part of the chinstrap fastener.

In order to provide sufficient protection, this helmet must fit properly and be securely fastened.
Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact must be replaced.

Never use the ring as the only way of fastening the chinstrap. In order to be properly tightened, the chinstrap must pass through the double-D ring straps as instructed. Improper use of the chinstrap can cause your helmet to be thrown off in an accident, leaving your head unprotected. Try to pull on the chinstrap with your fingers. If the strap loosens in any way, you have not fastened the chinstrap properly in the double-D ring straps. If this is the case, repeat the steps shown opposite.
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened, improperly fastened or incorrectly positioned. Although your cheeks give the impression that the helmet is securely held in place, it would be thrown off in an accident, leaving your head unprotected.
If you have any doubts regarding the helmet's fastening system, do not use the helmet. Ask your retailer for advice.

DOUBLE-D RING STRAP

1. Slide the longer part of the chinstrap through the two rings, making sure that the comfort pad is properly positioned between the strap and your neck. See Fig. A.
   
2. Use the end of the chinstrap to form a loop around the outer ring and pass it back through the inner ring. See Fig. B.
   
3. Pull on the end of the strap until the chinstrap is tight. The chinstrap must be positioned against your neck, not under your chin. It should be as tight as possible without hurting or hindering breathing. See Fig. C.
   
4. Clip in place the snap fastener at the free end of the strap to prevent the strap from flailing in the air. See Fig. D.
   

DUAL ACTION

This unique chin guard opening system - positioned in the centre of the chin guard - allows for easy, onehanded opening and prevents it from accidentally opening. The chin guard can only be opened after operating the first red lever (release lever) and then the second red lever (opening lever).
The configuration with chin guard open and VPS raised is recommended to ensure a better fit of the helmet.

CHIN GUARD OPENING

1. Push the red release lever outwards by turning it with your thumb (Fig.1).
   
2. Place your forefinger on top of the opening lever and push it downwards to unlock the chin guard (Fig.2).
   
3. Pull the chin guard forward and accompany it in its rotational movement upwards (Fig.3) until it reaches its stop position on the back of the shell (Fig. 4).
   
4. Regardless of the initial position of the visor, this one will remain in its maximum open position after the chin guard has been opened. If the helmet is used with chin guard open (J configuration), it is recommended that you place the left side locking slider in position "J" to secure the chin guard in this position (Fig.5B).
   

CHIN GUARD CLOSING

1. Pull the chin guard forward, accompanying it as it rotates, until you hear the clicks of the closing mechanism (Fig.3).
2. Regardless of the initial position of the visor, the visor will remain in its maximum open position after the chin guard has been closed.
3. Make sure the chin guard is correctly fastened by pulling it forwards and by checking that both sides remain fastened to the shell.
   When the left side locking slider is in position "P", the chin guard can be opened and/or closed (Fig.5A).
   When the left side locking slider is in position "J", the chin guard cannot be closed and remains blocked in open position (Fig.5B).
   

When the left side locking slider is in position "J" do not force the closing of the chin guard because it could damage the helmet's closing mechanism. Move the locking slider to position "P" (Fig.5A) to close the chin guard.

The protection level of this helmet whilst riding depends on the configuration adopted by the user: total protection if the chin guard and visor are closed, partial protection if the chin guard and/or visor are open.

• Do not remove nor tamper with the fixing screws that connect the chin guard to the shell.
• Do not use the helmet without chin guard.
• Never use the helmet in case of malfunctioning and/or damages of the chin guard opening system. In case of doubts regarding the correct operation of the chin guard opening mechanism, contact a SHARK authorized dealer.

VISOR

(NMS-05S OR NMS-05L, DEPENDING ON HELMET SIZE)

DISASSEMBLY

1. Close the chin guard (if open) and set the visor in completely open position.
2. Push the release lever of the left side mechanism completely backwards and simultaneously push the visor forward initially projecting the top hook "A" (Fig.7A) and then the lower hook "B" from the corresponding seats in the side mechanism (Fig.7B).
   
3. Follow the previous operations on the right side of the helmet.

ASSEMBLY

1. Close the chin guard (if open) and check that the side mechanisms are in full opening position (Fig. 8).
   
2. Place the visor left side on the corresponding side mechanism by inserting the visor inner pin into the mechanism central housing (Fig.7B).
3. Rotate the visor towards the side mechanism by inserting the top hook "A" into the corresponding seat in the side mechanism itself so that the release lever retracts and then returns to its position, hooking the visor to the side mechanism with a click (Fig.7A).
4. Follow the previous operations on the right side of the helmet.
5. Close the visor completely.

Check that the mechanisms are working properly.
Open and then close the visor: by raising the chin guard, the visor will remain in its maximum open position.
If necessary, follow the previous operations mentioned above.

• Check that the mechanisms are working properly: open and close the visor, making sure that it is retained firmly to the side mechanisms; open the chin guard and check that the visor opens and remains in full opening position; close the visor and check that the chin guard closes back to the maximum open position.
  If necessary, follow the previous operations mentioned above.
• Do not use the helmet if the visor has not been properly assembled.
• Do not remove the side mechanisms from the chin guard.
• Should any of the side mechanisms fail or be damaged, please contact a SHARK authorised dealer.

MINIMUM OPENING POSITION WITH DEFOGGING FUNCTION

Visor mechanisms allow the visor to have stable intermediate positions. Starting from the full closing position of the visor, it is possible to open it slightly by placing it in a stable minimum opening position to improve ventilation and facilitate defogging, especially at low speeds or during short stops.

PINLOCK

(NMS-05S O NMS-05L, DEPENDING ON HELMET SIZE)
(Available as standard or accessory/spare part)

ASSEMBLY

1. Disassemble the visor (see instructions above).
2. Make sure that the inner surface of the visor is clean and check that the pin adjustment external levers are turned inwards (Fig.9).
   
3. Place the PINLOCK inner visor on the visor. The silicone profile of the PINLOCK inner visor must be in contact with the inner surface of the visor.
4. Insert one side of the PINLOCK inner visor onto one of the two visor pins and hold it in position (Fig.10).
   
5. Widen the visor and fasten the other side of the PINLOCK inner visor to the other pin (Fig.11).
   
6. Release the visor.
7. Remove the protective film from the PINLOCK inner visor and check that the entire silicone profile of the inner visor adheres to the visor.
8. Assemble the visor on the helmet (see instructions above).

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE STRETCH

Check the correct PINLOCK inner visor assembly by opening and closing the visor and ensuring that they do not move with respect to each other. Should the PINLOCK inner visor not be tightly fixed to the visor, simultaneously move, gradually and not excessively, both external adjustment levers turning them upwards, to increase the stretch (Fig.9). The maximum stretch is achieved when the pin adjustment external levers are placed outwards.

Dust between the two visors may cause both surfaces to scratch.

• Scratched PINLOCK visors and inner visors may cause reduced visibility and must therefore be replaced.
• Regularly check the correct stretch of the PINLOCK inner visor to prevent it from moving and scratching both surfaces.
• If the helmet visor fogs up and/or condensation forms between the visors, check that the PINLOCK inner visor is both correctly assembled and stretched.
• An excessive and early stretch of the PINLOCK inner visor may result in excessive adherence against the visor surface and/or permanent deformations with subsequent inability to correctly perform any following adjustments.
• Intense sweating/breathing, use in particular weather conditions (low temperatures, high humidity, sudden changes in temperature or heavy rain) or intense and prolonged use may affect the performance of the PINLOCK inner visor and cause fogging or formation of condensation. In such cases, to restore the system efficiency after using the helmet, remove the PINLOCK inner visor from the helmet visor and leave it to dry in warm and dry air. The same procedure must be applied to the helmet, which should be left to dry to remove any humidity that may have formed as a result of the conditions described above.

DISASSEMBLING THE PINLOCK INNER VISOR

1. DISASSEMBLE THE VISOR EQUIPPED WITH THE PINLOCK inner visor (see instructions above).
2. Widen the visor and release the PINLOCK inner visor from the pins (Fig.11).
   
3. Release the visor.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Disassemble the PINLOCK inner visor from the visor. Using a damp and soft cloth, gently clean it with mild liquid soap. Remove all soap under running water.
• Leave the visor to dry in warm and dry air without wiping it.
• To preserve the visor's condition over time, leave the helmet to dry in a ventilated and dry place with the visor open after use. Keep it away from heat sources and store it in a place away from direct light.
• Do not use solvents or chemical products.

VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM

(VPS) (VP-17S OU VPS-17L, DEPENDING ON HELMET SIZE)
The exclusive inner VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) is a LEXAN polycarbonate moulded sunscreen with scratch-resistant / fog-resistant treatment. It is very simple and practical to use: just lower it to activate it or lift it to remove it from your field of vision. It is useful in all sorts of situations, both on long journeys out of town and shorter town trips.
Moreover, the fastening system allows you to assemble and disassemble the sunscreen for ordinary maintenance and cleaning, using no tools..

OPERATION

The VPS mechanism allows you to activate the sunscreen by simply lowering it until the visor field of vision is partially covered. In this way, the light transmittance is reduced as desired.
At any time, without operating the visor, the VPS can be deactivated with a simple movement and easily lifted up to restore the normal conditions of visibility and protection guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.

1. To activate the VPS, move the slider as in Fig.12 until you hear a click that means that the VPS is in the desired position. The VPS is adjustable in a range of intermediate positions to ensure the best comfort for the user with respect to the terms of use.
   
2. To deactivate the VPS, press the recovery button as shown in Fig.13 until the VPS unlocks and moves automatically in standby position.
   

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Current homologation standards (ECE22- 6) establish that the minimum light transmittance levels of visors should be no less than 80%; for homologated sunscreens, the minimum transmittance level should be no less than 20%.
This regulation also provides for the simultaneous use of the visor and sunscreen, both as standard.

We recommend you to use the VPS only and solely together with the homologated standard visor, which has a transmittance value greater than 80%.

• The VPS does not replace the protection guaranteed by the visor.
• The VPS can only be activated during daytime and in weather and environmental conditions with a particular light, for example, strong brightness caused by high intensity and/or incidence of sunlight.
• At night and/or in conditions of poor visibility, the VPS should be deactivated.
• Should sunglasses and / or photochromic lenses be used, the VPS should be deactivated.
• Always check that the VPS is properly placed according to the different weather/ environmental conditions and/or to the above mentioned recommendations for use.
• Use the special slider to activate/ deactivate the VPS; do not deactivate the VPS by handling it directly.
• Always check that the VPS is clean and that it is properly working in order to avoid scratches and/or anomalous wear on it every time it is activated.
• As for VPS and visor maintenance and cleaning operations, please refer to the appropriate section in the helmet user's manual.
• The VPS scratch-resistant/fog-resistant treatment highly reduces fogging. However, protracted periods of adverse weather and/or environmental conditions might cause fogging and/or formation of condensation on the VPS, which entails a reduction of visibility and/or sharpness of vision: in this case, deactivate the VPS.
• In case of rain, the direct contact of raindrops with the scratch resistant/ fog-resistant treated VPS quickly reduces sharpness of vision, thus causing scarce visibility: in this case, deactivate the VPS.
• The special VPS fog-resistant treatment is usually sensitive to high temperatures or heat sources. In this case, contaminations caused by contact with other materials might occur. These contaminations will cause marks and stains to come out. In these cases (e.g., when the helmet is kept in the top case on hot days), it is recommended that the VPS does not come into contact with other materials.

DISASSEMBLY

1. Open the helmet chin guard and lower the VPS completely (see instructions above) (Fig.12).
2. Hold the left lateral part of the sunscreen and pull it toward the outside of the helmet (Fig. 14).
3. Follow the same operation on the right side of the helmet.

ASSEMBLY

1. Open the helmet chin guard and move the side slider until it stops (see instructions above) (Fig.12).
2. Insert the sunscreen left end into the guide until it is completely fastened to the shell housing (Fig.14).
3. Follow the same operation on the right side of the helmet.

Check that the VPS is properly working by activating and deactivating it (see instructions above). If necessary, follow the previous operations mentioned above.

• If the VPS opening and closing mechanisms are not working properly or if such mechanisms get damaged, please contact SHARK authorized dealer.
• Do not use the helmet if the VPS has not been assembled properly.
• Since the VPS does not assure you the same protection as the one provided by the visor, it has to be used only when the helmet visor is lowered.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

The inner fabric parts are washable. To avoid causing damage, please closely follow the instructions below:
The cheek pads and comfort liner must be washed by hand in lukewarm soapy water (at approx. 30°). Do not use aggressive detergents. Instead, use either a small dose of a mild detergent or household soap. Fabrics and foams must be completely dry before use. Drying must take place at room temperature. Never iron the fabric parts. For leather-like or fabric parts that are integral with the safety components, use a sponge or rag slightly dampened with a little household soap, then rinse with clean water.
Avoid using too much water on polystyrene components.
It is important to check that all interior parts are completely dry before using the helmet.

Damage to the interior foams will compromise the proper fit of your helmet. If it no longer fits your head, the helmet can come off, leaving your head unprotected and causing serious and potentially life-threatening injuries.

FABRICS

Comfort foams and fabrics used for the OXO will allow you to fully appreciate the performance of your helmet. The parts that come into contact with your skin are made of a fabric that guarantees a pleasant feel, good absorption of perspiration and good resistance to ageing. Our fabrics in contact with the skin are treated to limit the spread of bacteria, and thus reduce bad odours.

Although selected for their resistance and durability, all parts of the inner lining are subject to normal wear and tear depending on how you care for and maintain your helmet, how long it is used for, and the acidity of your perspiration. If you notice any ageing, we recommend replacing your interior liners in order to keep your helmet perfectly clean and comfortable over time.
Your retailer can provide replacement parts, as well as optional cheek pads of varying thicknesses and densities if the standard choice does not fit the morphology of your face.

Every time you put on your helmet, check that it fits your head properly.

REMOVABLE INNER COMFORT PADDING

The comfort padding consists of:

• liner
• side cheek pads (right and left)

All components can be completely removed and washed.
The cheek pads are also characterised by removable inner expanding foam padding.

LINER POSITIONING CONTROL

ADJUSTING THE LINER POSITION
The different anatomic shape of riders heads at times requires the position of the helmet to be adapted to the specific head. The LINER POSITIONING CONTROL (LPC) enables the position of the liner to be adjusted. This means that, unlike a standard helmet, the position of the helmet on the rider's head can be changed without changing the size of the helmet, making it adaptable to multiple needs.
To adjust the liner, deactivate the VPS, open the chin strap (see relevant instructions) and proceed as follows.

1. Overturn one side of the upper part of the padding and unhook the front circular button for adjusting the liner below it from the underlying longitudinal plastic support with seven holes (Fig. 23).
   
2. Move the circular button along the longitudinal plastic support and re-hook it in one of the two following holes (Fig.24).
   
3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2 with the rear circular button located below the padding (Fig.25). By pulling the two adjustment snaps of the liner, the helmet is gradually positioned higher on the head.
   
4. After having correctly fastened the two adjustment snaps of the liner to the longitudinal plastic support, fold and spread the upper padding in the correct position.
5. Wear the helmet and ensure that the positioning and comfort suit your head. If not, adjust it again.

After adjusting the position of the liner, put on and fasten the helmet to check the correct adjustment of the chin strap (see specific instruction label under www. nolan-helmets.com). Check also the correct helmet fit on your head in riding position setup, as well as its easy taking off (see "CHOICE AND VERIFICATION OF THE HELMET" instructions above).

PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Carefully read, understand and follow the instructions provided in this manual, and keep it in a safe place for future reference. If you have any doubt whatsoever regarding the use or care of your helmet, please see your retailer for assistance or advice. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions provided herein can result in the failure of the helmet to protect you in an accident, resulting in a head injury or death.

1. Even if the helmet meets or exceeds international standards applicable to the manufacture of helmets, always ride with care. The helmet cannot fully protect the user from all possible impacts at high or low speeds. All safety equipment has its limits, and a head injury can occur in an accident, even if a helmet is worn. However, to protect yourself from death or permanent impairment due to a head injury, it is essential that the helmet size fits your head size and that the chinstrap is properly tightened as described in this manual. This SHARK OXO helmet is approved and complies with regulation UNECE R 22/06. This helmet therefore complies with the requirements imposed in all countries recognizing this standard on their territory.
2. This helmet is designed to cushion the impact through the partial destruction of the helmet shell and/or of the internal impact absorber. This damage may be invisible. Therefore, if the helmet suffers an impact, even if it is merely dropped on the ground, it must be returned to be inspected, replaced or destroyed, even if it does not appear damaged. If in doubt, and if you are unsure whether this rule applies to the impact in question, contact your supplier before using the helmet again.
3. A helmet, like all products, can deteriorate over time depending on how it is used. Please check the helmet for any signs of deterioration or damage before each use. The size of the helmet must always match the size of your head. If this is not the case, then the helmet has stretched and must be replaced. Never wear a damaged helmet. Even if the helmet is not damaged or deteriorated, it is recommended that you replace it five years after purchase.
4. Do not modify the helmet in any way. Never pierce or cut any part of the helmet. Any modification may damage the helmet, thereby reducing its ability to protect you from an impact.
5. Handle the helmet with care. Never sit on it or throw it on the ground. Never ride with your helmet hanging over any part of your motorcycle.
6. Never use petroleum, petroleum products, chemicals or any other solvent to clean the helmet, shell or visor. Additionally, your helmet should never be exposed to the fumes from these solvents (for example, by leaving it on your motorcycle's fuel tank cap). These chemicals could cause invisible, serious damage to the helmet, thus reducing its ability to protect you. Only use mild soap, warm water and a soft rag to clean and wipe down the helmet and visor.
7. Never apply paint, stickers or adhesive tape to the shell or visor. These could cause invisible damage to your helmet and thus reduce the helmet's ability to protect you.
8. No modifications to the helmet must affect its original design as manufactured. Accessories must be installed according to the helmet manufacturer's instructions. Only the accessories tested during the helmet certification process guarantee that the helmet's performance, in terms of the protection it provides when fitted with these accessories, remains compliant with its certification.
9. A reduction in hearing, in the field of view, and in head movements will be experienced when wearing the helmet. Please adjust your riding accordingly.
10. Dry your helmet at room temperature. Never expose it to temperatures above approximately 160°F/70°C, which could happen, for example, if your helmet is left on the passenger seat or in the boot of a car. Always keep the helmet away from heat sources, such as the exhaust pipe or the top box of a motorcycle.
11. If you have any comments or questions about the helmet, please contact SHARK or your nearest supplier.

We do not guarantee this product's ability to fully protect the user from all possible high- or low-speed impacts or from potentially life-threatening injuries. The helmet user recognises and acknowledges that there are risks inherent in riding a motorcycle, which risks are not limited to impacts of any kind, at both high or low speeds. By purchasing and using this product, the user expressly, voluntarily and knowingly assumes and accepts these risks and releases SHARK from any and all liability up to the maximum extent permissible by law for any losses that may result.
