WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS
1. Even though this helmet meets or exceeds many of the world’s most
demanding standards for helmet production, no helmet can protect the wearer
from all foreseeable high or low speed impacts. All safety equipment have
limits, and you could still sustain a head injury in an accident even if you are
wearing a helmet. However, for maximum protection against death or permanent
impairment from a head injury, the helmet must fit firmly on your head and the
chinstrap must be securely fastened as described in this manual.
2. The helmet is designed to absorb only one impact by partial destruction of
the shell and/or liner. This damage may not be visible to you. Therefore, if your
helmet is subjected to any impact, even if it is only dropped to the ground, the
helmet should be returned for inspection or replaced and destroyed even if it is
apparently undamaged. If you have any doubts, and you are not sure whether
this «one impact» rule applies, consult your dealer before you use your helmet
again.
3. A helmet, like all products, may wear out over time depending on the
conditions of use. Please check your helmet every time you use it for evidence
of damage or wear. The helmet should always fit snugly all around your head.
If it is not snug, it has become too big for you and should be replaced. Never
wear a damaged helmet. Even if the helmet does not show any evidence of
damage or wear, we recommended the helmet to be replaced five years after
it is first purchased.
4. Make no modifications whatsoever to your helmet. Never drill
or cut any component of the helmet. Modifications can significantly
weaken your helmet, thereby eliminating its ability to protect you from an
impact.
5. Handle your helmet carefully. Never sit on it or drop it to the ground. Never
ride with the helmet hanging from any part of your motorcycle.
6. Never use petroleum or petroleum products, chemicals or any other sol-
vents to clean the helmet, shell or visor. Your helmet could be seriously damaged
by these cleaning agents, without this damage being visible to you, thereby
eliminating its ability to protect you. Use only mild soap, warm water, and a soft
cloth to wipe your helmet and visor clean.
7. Never apply any paint, stickers or adhesive tape to any part of your shell or
visor. They could significantly weaken your helmet, without this damage being
visible to you, thereby eliminating the helmet’s ability to protect you.
8. You will experience some reduction in hearing, peripheral vision and head
movements while you are wearing your helmet. Please ride accordingly.
9. If you ever have any comments or questions about this helmet, please
contact Shark or your nearest dealer.
No warranty or representation is made as to this product’s ability to protect
the user from all foreseeable high or low speed impacts or from any injury or
death ; The user of this helmet recognizes and agrees that there are risks inhe-
rent in motorcycle riding, including but not limited to the risk that your helmet
cannot protect against all foreseeable high or low speed impacts. By his/her
purchase and use of this helmet, the user expressly, voluntarily and knowingly
accepts and assumes these risks and agrees to hold Shark S.A. harmless to the
fullest extent permitted by law against any resulting damages.
