C. READ FIRST
Warning:
Don't mistreat your helmet!
Never ride with the helmet hanging from the helmet holder,
and do not hang the helmet from angled supports such as
a mirror. Do not sit on or throw your helmet. You should
not expose the liner of your helmet to strong sunlight and
excessive heat such as near heaters or where temperatures
exceed 50°C (122°F). Avoid spraying insect repellent chemicals
(such as "naphthalene") near the helmet. Mistreating your
helmet will damage the shell and impact absorbing liner,
reducing the helmet's ability to protect you in an accident.
Warning:
Always check your helmet before every ride!
1. Check the face shield and sun visor.
2. Check the correct function of the shield and visor mechanics.
3. Check for cracks in the helmet. Strong acid (e.g. battery acid)
can damage the shield bases. If you find cracks or damage,
stop using the helmet immediately.
4. Check helmet for deterioration. If you find deterioration in
any part of a component, either replace that component
or get a new helmet. If these parts come loose and/or fall
off while you are riding, your vision may be blocked, which
could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury
or death.
5. Check the security of the retention system (see section G. 3.).
For checking instructions and procedure see also section G.
(before every journey) of this manual.
Warning:
Maintain your helmet shields (shield and sun visor)
in good condition!
If your shields become too scratched or uncleanable, replace
them with new ones. Impaired visibility may cause accidents.
Clean your shields only with mild soap diluted in tap water.
Rinse well with clean tap water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Never use benzene, gasoline, glass cleaner or any other solvents.
Do not attach stickers or adhesive tape to the shields, as this
56
will weaken the hard coating, damaging the shields. Do not
drive with a dim or blurred shield. Impaired vision can cause
an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Warning:
Never use the tinted sun visor at night, in poor
visibility conditions or in tunnels!
The tinted visor reduces light transmission and should never
be used in situations where vision is impaired (i.e. at night,
in poor visibility conditions or in tunnels).
Warning:
Do not repaint the helmet!
Repainting of your helmet is not recommended. Paint and
thinner can damage the helmet and reduce its ability to
provide head protection in an accident.
Warning:
Replace the helmet after no more than five years!
The useful life of the helmet depends on its use and care.
We recommend that this helmet has to be replaced after no
more than five years from its date of purchase.
Caution:
To avoid liner damage, do not hang the helmet on the mirror
or the handlebar.
Caution:
Do not carry the helmet on the motorcycle's helmet storage
lock while riding in order to avoid exhaust pipe burns, tire
abrasion, and strap damage to the helmet.
Caution:
Keep the helmet outside the reach of pets to avoid the helmet
being damaged by chewing, scratching or other mistreatment.
Caution:
Do not expose the helmet to solvents including gasoline or
any fumes thereof in order to avoid damage to shields, shell,
plastic components and interior.
