WARNING & WARRANTY
WARNING
Inspect the helmet before each use. Make sure the helmet system components are not damaged, cracked, deformed, loose,
or showing signs of excessive wear. Do not remove or alter the helmet pads or modify any or the original component parts
of the helmet, other than as specified by the manufacturer. The helmet system should not be modified for the purpose of
fitting attachments in any way which is not specified by the manufacturer. Do not apply paint, solvents, adhesives, or self-
adhesive labels except in accordance with instructions from the manufacturer as they could degrade helmet integrity and
resulting performance. Clean shell with soap and lukewarm water. Internal comfort pads may be hand washed and air dried.
This helmet system is meant for professional users. It is the responsibility of the user to determine whether the manufacturer’s
specifications will provide an adequate level of protection for the intended use. This helmet system provides limited ballistic
and impact protection for the head as indicated by the product specification, and does not offer any protection against neck,
spinal, or certain types of brain injuries including those caused by rotational forces. Some hazards can exceed this helmet’s
ability to provide protection and could cause severe head, brain, or spinal injuries including paralysis or death. This helmet
must be fitted properly to provide the protection indicated in the product specification. This helmet system is designed to
absorb the energy of an impact by partial destruction or damage to the shell, liner and the harness, and even though such
damage may not be readily apparent, any helmet subjected to a substantial impact should be replaced. Misuse or failure to
follow instructions associated with this helmet system may result in serious injury or death.

be repaired by Gentex and all charges for labor and material will be borne by Gentex. If it is determined that either no fault
exists in Gentex, or the damage to be repaired was caused by negligence of the user, its agents, employees or customers,
you agree to pay all charges associated with each such repair. No statement, recommendation or assistance made or offered
by Gentex through its representatives to the user, its agents, employees, or customers in connection with the purpose or
