CONGRATULATIONS... for the purchase of your new helmet.
This helmet has been designed and created to be a modern, high performing product,
able to satisfy the most demanding requests as for safety and comfort. This is made pos-
sible by the helmet design, its ergonomic, comfort and aerodynamic properties as well as
its practical and easy-to-use controls.
SAFETY AND NORMS OF USE
IMPORTANT
- Before using the helmet read this booklet and all enclosed documents carefully,
in that they contain very important indications on how to use the helmet easily
and safely.
- Failure to observe these instructions may reduce the protection provided by the
helmet and consequently put your safety at risk.
USING THE HELMET
- The helmet has been specifically designed for motorcycle and motorbike use therefo-
re it must not be used for other purposes (or uses or scopes). Equal protection is not
guaranteed for any use different from the intended one.
- In case of accident, the helmet represents a protective element, which reduces injuries
and head damage. This notwithstanding, it cannot alone prevent serious and/or fatal
injuries due to the specific accident dynamics, therefore drive carefully.
- When driving any motorcycle, always wear the helmet properly fastened in order to
fully exploit its protection.
- Never wear scarves under the fastening system nor caps of any sort under the helmet.
- The helmet can muffle traffic noises. However make sure that you can hear essential
sounds such as horns and emergency vehicle sirens.
- Always keep the helmet away from heat sources like the exhaust muffler, the bag seat
or the interior of a vehicle.
- Do not modify nor damage the helmet or part of it for whatsoever reason. Use only ori-
ginal accessories and/or spare parts suitable for your specific helmet model.
- Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible; helmets, which received vio-
lent impacts, are to be replaced.
- In case of doubt about the helmet integrity and safety, avoid using it and contact an
authorized dealer to let it check.
CHOOSING THE HELMET
Size
- In order to determine the correct helmet size, try on helmets of different sizes and
choose the one which suits best the shape of your head and which you feel firm once
worn and fastened, thus ensuring a great comfort.
- Should the helmet be too big, it may slide down covering the eyes or turn slowly to
the side while riding.
- Keep it on for a few minutes and make sure there are no points of extreme pressure
that may cause pain or headache.
Taking off the helmet
- With the helmet on and the strap securely fastened, try to take the helmet off as shown
in Fig. A. In case of accident the different forces at stake and their various directions
may result in helmet rotations or they may even cause the helmet to slip off if it is not
securely fastened.
