SAFETY INFORMATION
Ride safely. The SKULLY Fenix AR is designed to provide maximum safety and comfort.
However, motorcycle riding presents specific challenges and risks. The Fenix AR can help
reduce but not eliminate risk of injury. Please observe all applicable traffic laws and use caution
when riding a motorcycle.
Riding a motorcycle or off-road vehicle implies the user accepts the risk that some reasonably
foreseeable impacts will exceed the helmet’s capacity to protect against injury.
Use the Fenix AR only as instructed by this manual. Failure to do so may result in unsafe riding
conditions and will void the warranty. Make no modifications to the helmet.
Before riding, make sure your helmet fits properly and that you are comfortable with the size and
the weight of the helmet. The helmet chinstrap must be securely fastened at all times when riding
with the Fenix AR. Failure to fit and fasten the helmet properly may cause the helmet to come
off the wearer in an accident and result in severe injury or death.
For proper fit and safety, the helmet must always be worn with the lining attached (see page 10)
The Fenix AR is designed to provide maximum protection for the rider. However, the helmet
should be handled carefully to avoid reducing the protection it provides. Dropping the helmet on
the ground can degrade performance and should be avoided. If the helmet is dropped from a
moving vehicle, it could sustain serious damage that is not visible.
After your helmet has experienced a substantial impact, its safety features may be compromised.
The damage may not be visible, but the ability of the helmet to protect wearer is reduced. Shock-
absorbing materials within the helmet will have become compacted, reducing the ability to
absorb further shocks. Check the warranty for repair or replacement details.
If you think your helmet’s safety performance is compromised for any reason, DO NOT USE the
helmet for riding. A helmet that has been involved in a serious impact should be destroyed and
replaced. If you are uncertain, stop using the helmet and contact SKULLY for an evaluation.
Do not attempt to modify the helmet in any way. Do not remove or add any parts or change any
physical aspect of the helmet. Doing so may reduce the ability of the helmet to protect the wearer
and will void the warranty.
Do not use the top vent, spoiler and chin skirt as a handle. These pieces are designed for specific
functions and are not intended to support the weight of the helmet.
Keep the visor closed at all times when riding. The visor protects you from wind, dust, stones,
insects and other minor road debris. It does not provide protection against all hazards.
Do not place your helmet on the gas tank. Escaping vapors can damage the fabric of Fenix AR’s
protective liner.
