Helmet maintenance
The helmet
protects your head, and so it should be
treated with care.
The
visor
should be
changed
when it has
scratches
preventing satisfactory vision.
The helmet can be
seriously damaged by:
Paints and varnish
Petrol
All types of chemical solvent
Excessive heat (do not leave your helmet exposed to the sun)
Inappropriate modifications
Scrupulously follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
A helmet does not have a fixed lifespan. However, it is a good rule to replace it after five years of correct use.
Important!
THE EXTERNAL SHELL OF THE HELMET SHOULD NEVER BE ALTERED IN ANY WAY.
INTERNAL POLYSTYRENE PARTS SHOULD NEVER BE MODIFIED OR REMOVED.
NEVER APPLY PETROL, DILUENTS, TOLUENE OR OTHER SOLVENTS OR CHEMICAL
SUBSTANCES TO ANY PART OF THE HELMET.
Personalization
Removal and reassembly of internal padding
Important: do not use sharp or pointed tools such as screwdrivers, etc., unless absolutely necessary,
in order to prevent scratching or damaging the helmet and its structural components
Solar X 2’s internal Coolmax cap can be removed and replaced for washing or for varying the helmet size.
The cap is fixed to the polystyrene inner shell by means of a series of Velcro strips. It is easy to remove. Just
ensure that you
detach the Velcro strips by holding and pulling the strips themselves. Don’t just pull
the cap out from the helmet
.
Reassembly
When reassembling the cap, ensure that it is positioned centrally and symmetrically.
When you are sure that the cap is in the correct position inside the helmet, press the Velcro fastening strips
firmly in order to fasten the lining.
Visor installation and removal
The visor can be removed if it has to be cleaned thoroughly or replaced, or if you have purchased a new visor
for your Solar X 2 helmet.
Important
:
Don’t touch a mirror-finish visor with your hands, because it may be opacified by the acid contained in
perspiration. Don’t touch the inner surface of a visor with anti-fog coating (see below for more details).
Adding or replacing a visor on a Solar X 2 helmet:
The visor is supplied with the two screws and separators, and the two pinlock screws, needed for assembly.
Removal of the visor
Place the helmet onto a table, ensuring that it is entirely stable, and lower the visor into its position of
normal use.
