Then pull the bulge on the shield
slightly outward so the shield clears
the latch post on the helmet , and
raise the shield.
To open, push the shield latch lever
up and the shield will open slightly.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to open the
shield without using the latch system, or
push down on the shield latch lever , as
damage to the latch system may occur.
If shield operation becomes stiff, flexing
excessively as you raise or lower it,
apply one or two drops of supplied
silicone lubricant around sliding slot and
brass stud, and wipe off with soft tissue
paper for shield operation maintenance.
If shield is dirty, clean before applying
silicone.
WARNING:
Be sure to latch the shield properly before riding. If not latched
securely, the shield may open unexpectedly from wind pressure, vibration or
even normal head movement.
To close, push the shield down until the latch
post fully engages the shield and the latch lever
captures the bottom of the shield.
TO OPEN/CLOSE SHIELD
WARNING:
If your shield becomes too scratched or uncleanable, replace it
with a new one. Impaired visibility causes accidents. Use a solution of mild
soap or detergent and lukewarm water to clean your shield. Rinse well with
clean water, and wipe off with a soft cloth. Never use petrol, thinner, benzene
or any other solvents. There are many “aggressive” cleaners on the market,
including some supposed to be specifically for use on shield. Arai strongly
recommends that you do not use any such products to clean your shield as
some of their ingredients may have damaging effects on the shield and other
plastic parts installed on your helmet. Do not apply stickers or adhesive tape
to the shield, as this will weaken the hard coating. If tinted, the shield is for
daylight use only.
