3.0 HELMET INSPECTION BEFORE USE
WARNING
Make sure your helmet is always in its best usable condition:
• Check the face shield to make sure it is clean and not scratched to prevent
proper visibility, replace it if necessary.
• Check all screws and mechanisms to ensure they are tight and working well: do
not overtighten plastic screws and screws in general to avoid permanent
damage.
• Check for damaged and worn out parts as well as external or internal cracks
and breaks, replace your helmet if necessary.
• Make sure all inner parts and pads are fastened properly in order for the helmet
to fit correctly.
• Check the strap to make sure it closes, is properly adjusted (see the relevant
section) and not damaged.
• A scratched face shield must be replaced immediately to prevent it from
affecting visibility, especially in the dark. Tinted face shields should only be
used during daytime. Dark face shields are not homologated and therefore they
are only intended to be used on racetracks. Excessive humidity can cause the
vapour to turn into a layer of moisture on the inside reducing visibility.
To avoid this, make sure the helmet is well ventilated and check whether
a PINLOCK visor can be installed.
4.0 RETENTION SYSTEM:
FASTENING AND ADJUSTING THE STRAP
Fasten the chinstrap as tightly as possible underneath the jaw without causing pain.
There should be no gap between the neck and the strap, check by trying to insert a
finger and if there is, tighten it.
Tightening the strap is important to prevent your helmet from coming off.
The strap is adjusted to a standard length set before its use.
