E. PUTTING THE HELMET ON AND TAKING
IT OFF
1. PUTTING THE HELMET ON AND TAKING IT OFF
Note:
See section D. 9. for operation of the chinstrap/fastener system
1. Open the chinstrap.
2. Take hold of the lower ends of the chinstrap and pull these
apart.
3. It will now be easy to put the helmet on.
4. Fasten the chinstrap by pushing the ratchet tongue into the
lock step by step so that you hear it engage properly.
5. Make sure the chinstrap passes under the chin and fits firmly.
Note:
Check that the chinstrap fits correctly and is adjusted to the
correct length at regular intervals (see section F. 2.).

2. TAKING OFF THE HELMET

1. Open the chinstrap by pulling the red strap on the ratchet
fastener and thus releasing the locking buckle. Having done
this, pull the ratchet tongue out of the locking buckle.
2. Grasp the ends of the chinstrap and pull the chinstrap ends
apart.
3. The helmet can now be removed easily from the head.
Tip:
To avoid scratching any objects on which you place the
helmet when you take it off, we recommend closing the
chinstrap after you have taken the helmet off.

F. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY
For your safety, check the following points before every journey:

1. CHECKING THE HELMET

Check the helmet regularly 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. If you wish, you can
send your S2 to the SCHUBERTH customer service department to be
checked free of charge (see Section J.1. After sales service).
Note:
If you have lost a significant amount of weight, you should
check that your helmet is still the right size for you.
2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP (with helmet on and fastened)
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.
Note:
Repeat the test after each adjustment.
Caution :
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.
