introduction
Congratulations for acquiring a premium
Scorpion helmet. This helmet embodies
the latest, state-of-the-art design,
engineering and technology available in
the market today and is an excellent
investment for your comfort and protection.
Please remember that no helmet can
protect you against all possible or
foreseeable impacts even when built
with the latest and best materials
and technology.
The following information will help you to
enjoy and properly care for your helmet.

function
A helmet’s main function is to protect your head from impact in case
of an accident. To accomplish this, a helmet surrounds your head with
a matrix of materials designed to absorb and cushion impact energy.
A helmet is also designed to provide you with comfort while riding at
speed and in various weather conditions. Yet, there is a trade-off:
A helmet decreases hearing sensitivity, peripheral vision and physical
movement to a certain extent while providing protection and comfort.
fit
It is important for maximum safety that your Scorpion helmet fit snugly
and comfortably on your head with the retention strap (chinstrap)
properly fastened. If the helmet moves side-to-side or forward and
backward without pulling the facial skin and scalp, it is too large.
If the helmet is constricting or painful, it is too small.
faceshields
The faceshield on your Scorpion helmet provides protection from weather,
small flying objects and wind. Tinted shields are available to protect
your eyes from excessive sunlight. The exclusive, patent-pending
Scorpion “SpeedShift
™
” quick-change faceshield system allows
you to easily change your shield in less than 10 seconds.
See the instructions below.
NEVER WEAR A DARK OR TINTED FACESHIELD IN DARK OR POOR
VISIBILITY RIDING CONDITIONS.
This is not only unsafe, but also
illegal in most states.
NEVER WEAR A FACESHIELD THAT HAS BECOME SCRATCHED, OR RIDE
WITH A FACESHIELD THAT IS FOGGED BY CONDENSATION. SCORPION
FACESHIELDS (CLEAR AND SMOKE ONLY) COME WITH A SPECIAL
EVERCLEAR
™
SCRATCH-AND FOG-RESISTANT COATING. THIS COATING
MAY LOSE ITS EFFECTIVENESS AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS OF
USE. THEREFORE, FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY
AND VISIBILITY, WE RECOMMEND
YOU REPLACE YOUR SCORPION FACESHIELD WITH A NEW, GENUINE
SCORPION FACESHIELD AT LEAST EVERY TWO YEARS.
ventilation systems
Ventilation systems are designed and engineered to maximize your
comfort in a wide range of temperatures. Familiarize yourself with the
vents on your street helmet. Some vents have detents allowing partial
opening and closing, thereby controlling intake and exhaust airflow.
Your helmet ventilation systems should be kept clear of any obstructions
including dirt, insects or other items which could interfere with proper
flow of air. The ventilation systems play an important role, especially
during physical exertion or hot-weather riding.
faceshield replacement
NOTE: THE FACESHIELD CAN ONLY BE REMOVED OR INSTALLED
WHEN IN THE FULLY OPENED POSITION!!!
To remove your faceshield, place the helmet in front of you with the
eye port facing away. Ratchet the faceshield up to the fully open position.
Using both hands, rotate both circular “SpeedShifters
™
” clockwise-
because they are on opposite sides of the helmet, it will feel like
you are twisting them in opposite directions. The shield will release
immediately from the SpeedShifters: Then simply pull or “peel” the
shield off the helmet.
To install a shield, center the shield’s pivot holes over the “SpeedShifter
™
”
pivot ratchets in the open position (up) and press squarely inward, using
your fingertips or the palm of your hand. Open and close the shield fully
to test its secure installation before riding.
securing and
wearing your helmet
Do not simply pull your helmet down onto your head like a hat. Your
Scorpion helmet should be worn as follows: Using both hands, grab
the helmet’s bottom rim while holding the chin straps with your
thumbs, then “roll” the helmet onto your head starting at the forehead.
Continue rolling the helmet on toward the back of the head until it
comes to rest with your head fully in contact with the inner linings
and cheek pads. Finally,
FIRMLY AND SECURELY FASTEN YOUR
CHINSTRAP.
Check your chinstrap for tightness occasionally as
vibration or wind may loosen it.
cleaning your scorpion
helmet system
None of the components of your Scorpion helmet can be damaged
by water. All headliners and sweat-wicking cheek pads are
machine washable. Wash them with a mild detergent in warm
water and allow to air dry. Hand washing is recommended, but
machine washing is also permitted. Use the “delicate” cycle to
prevent the agitator from damaging the sweat-wicking material
covering the liner parts. Do not place lining parts in the dryer:
Excess heat may damage the foam and coverings.
The faceshield may be cleaned with plastic polish or mild soap
and water.
The shell of your helmet should be cleaned using only a mild
detergent and water.
NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED CHEMICALS,
SOLVENTS, GASOLINE, CLEANING AGENTS OR ADHESIVES
to clean
the shell, liners or faceshield of your helmet. Your helmet shell,
liner and faceshield may be seriously damaged by the use of such
products. A coat of automotive wax over the outer shell will provide
added shine and a protective layer for the finish.
dont’s
DON’T
ride without fastening your chinstrap.
DON’T
clean your helmet with petroleum products, solvents,
benzene, thinner or cleaning agents.
DON’T
paint over your helmet’s finish without totally protecting
and isolating the shock-absorbing liner and plastic parts.
Your warranty will otherwise be invalidated.
DON’T
use paint which requires heat curing.
DON’T
drop your helmet from any height onto a hard surface.
This could cause damage to your helmet’s finish and/or decrease
its ability to protect you.
DON’T
place your helmet on your motorcycle’s rearview mirror:
The sharp pressure from the mirror’s edge will compress and
damage the helmet’s shock-absorbing liner.
DON’T
place your helmet on the motorcycle’s seat or fuel tank. It can
easily roll off and hit the ground causing damage to the helmet. It is
best to place your helmet on the ground so it cannot fall in any direction.
DON’T
ride with a scratched faceshield. This can impair your
vision, especially at night.
DON’T
modify any part of your helmet, e.g., drilling the shell or
cutting and pressing the shock absorbing liner. Installation of
sound systems, speakers and microphones reduces your helmet’s
ability to protect you and is not recommended.
DON’T
use the helmet again if it has either been dropped or involved
in an accident. Replace it even if damage is not visible to the naked eye.
DON’T
wear a dark or tinted faceshield in dark or poor visibility
riding conditions.
DON’T
place your headliners and cheek pads in the dryer after
washing. Allow them to air dry.
DON’T
attempt to remove, change or replace your faceshield while
riding your motorcycle or ATV.
