VENTILATIONS

VENTILATION INSIDE THE HELMET.

The upper air intake (Fig. A) allows air to enter onto
the upper part of the head and thus renew the air in
the head section. The channels incorporated in the
internal shock absorbers facilitate the circulation of
air over the surface of the head.
The quality and design of the textile comfort parts
contribute to the proper distribution of air. The posi-
tion of the upper ventilation system is designed to op-
timise the effectiveness of its intake of air. Depending
on the type of your motorbike, the fairing may reduce
the effectiveness of this ventilation.
The ventilation is in the open position when the
tongue is pushed backwards

(1)

and closed when the

tongue is pushed forwards

(2)

LOWER VENTILATION.

The principal function of this air intake is to direct a
flow of fresh air over the interior surface of the visor in
order to limit the risk of misting. The fresh air diffused
cuts off contact with the hot air emitted by breathing
or even by the head inside the helmet.
To open

(1)

or close

(2)

the lower ventilation, press

the button as indicated.

WARNING! Do not open or close any vents
while operating your motorcycle. You could

lose control of your motorcycle, resulting in an
accident, personal injury or death.

AERODYNAMICS AND ACOUSTICS

The SKWAL 2 has been carefully designed to offer you
the greatest pleasure in use.
The profile of the helmet, its impermeability and the
quality of the materials used enable air noise on the
crown of the head and aerodynamic turbulence to be
filtered as far as possible. In order for the use of your
helmet to be as pleasant as possible, it is important
for turbulence or air eddies created by the fairings not
to impair the aerodynamic qualities of your SKWAL 2
helmet. The shape of the fairings of your motorcycle
and/or your size should not cause air eddies to reach
the lower part of your helmet.

5 YEARS WARRANTY

You have recently purchased a SHARK helmet for your safety
and pleasure. It has been designed with the greatest care to
satisfy your every requirement. For your safety, and that of
your passenger, you must respect all the rules of prudence
when using your two-wheeled vehicle. The SHARK 5-YEARS
warranty guarantees the initial purchaser that any possible
manufacturing fault or material defect will be covered by the
SHARK warranty.

Limitations

If during the warranty period (5 years as from the date of
purchase), a problem covered by the warranty were to arise,
SHARK, through the intermediary of its sales network, under-
takes to repair or replace any defective components, up to a
maximum limit which is the purchase value of the helmet.
Any labour costs are normally paid by the SHARK network,
but are submitted for approval prior to the work being car-
ried out. If the repair requires components to be dispatched
incurring transportation costs, the SHARK network shall cover
these costs up to a limit which is the cost of transport by the
national postal service at the normal rate.

Exclusions

This warranty only covers problems related to materials or
manufacturing. SHARK cannot be held liable with regard to
the product in the following cases :

Any damage following

1) a fall or accident
2) a technical modification made by the user or a third party
(glue, adhesives, paint, screws, etc.)
3) use of or contact with: harmful chemical products (inclu-
ding methylated spirits on the visor treatments), or an intense
heat source
4) incorrect use: abnormal conditions (e.g. underwater), lack
of maintenance or care
5) ageing due to normal wear of the inner fabrics or foams,
the appearance of the external parts, or the visor (scratches,
marks, etc.)
6) abnormal and prolonged exposure to ultra-violet light, in
particular for the decorative colours. In addition, SHARK can-
not consider subjective considerations related to use of the
helmet as defects covered by the warranty : problems with
comfort, size, noise or whistling, aerodynamics, etc.

SHARK cannot be held liable for the temporary non-availa-
bility of the helmet while it is being enhanced to satisfy the
needs of its owner. In all cases, the maximum warranty period
is 5 years. Replacement of a component during this period
does not prolong this period.

Procedure

When the helmet is sold go to our website www.shark-
helmets.com in order to activate your warranty.
All warranty claims must be made to the SHARK dealer that
sold the helmet.
For a warranty claim to be considered, the purchaser must
notify the dealer of the problem that has arisen, and return
the helmet that is the subject of the claim, together with the
warranty card filled out when the helmet was purchased. This
warranty does not affect in any way the statutory rights of the
purchaser as stipulated by directive 1999/44CE.
The effects of this specific and limited warranty shall
come to an end after a period of 5 years as from the
date of purchase. After this period, if you continue to
use a helmet regularly, we recommend that to bene-
fit from optimum protection and comfort you should
replace your helmet. This is because certain external

factors - general wear, certain impacts - could be prejudicial
to the safety characteristics of this essential piece of protec-
tive equipment.
Limit SHARK reserves the right to carry out work within the
terms of the warranty using replacement parts from the most
recent version compatible with the model concerned, and is
unable to guarantee perfect harmonisation of the paint or
decorative elements associated with specific production runs
and/or limited editions. In addition, the natural deterioration of
colours over a period of time can cause mismatching in the
adaptation of colours of spare parts.
If SHARK is unable to carry out the repair for technical reasons
or because a component is not available, SHARK undertakes
to make the customer an advantageous offer, taking account
of the age of the helmet, consisting in either an identical new
helmet or an equivalent model manufactured at the time of
the repair, if the original model is no longer available.
This warranty is only valid for european continent.
