SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of your new helmet.
This helmet has been designed and created to be a modern, high performing product, able to satisfy the
most demanding requests as for safety and comfort. This is made possible by the helmet design, its ergo-
nomic, comfort and aerodynamic properties as well as its practical and easy-to-use controls.
SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT
- Before using the helmet read this booklet and all enclosed documents carefully, in that they
contain very important indications on how to use the helmet easily and safely. We recommend
you to store it for future reference.
- Failure to observe these instructions may reduce the protection provided by the helmet and
consequently put your safety at risk.
- Do not operate or act in such a way that could compromise or reduce the protection provided
by the helmet.
USING THE HELMET
- The helmet is specifically designed for motorcycle and motorbike use. Therefore, it must not be
used for different purposes (or different reasons or operations) since, in such cases, it would not
guarantee the same protection.
- In case of accident, the helmet represents a protective element, which reduces injuries and head
damage.
Nevertheless, no helmet can guarantee total safety. The helmet reduces the risk or gravity of injuries
in case of accidents, but the degree of impacts and the different circumstances may exceed helmet
protection. Therefore, ride safely.
- When riding any motorcycle, always wear the helmet properly fastened in order to fully exploit its
protection.
- Never wear scarves under the fastening system nor caps of any sort under the helmet.
- The helmet can muffle traffic noises. However make sure that you can hear essential sounds such as
horns and emergency vehicle sirens.
- Always keep the helmet away from heat sources like the exhaust muffler, the bag seat or the interior
of a vehicle.
- Do not modify nor tamper with the helmet (or part of it) for any reason whatsoever. Any modification
and/or change compromise safety requirements and the protection degree of the helmet. The helmet
may be no more compliant to homologation standards and therefore could not be used anymore,
thus guarantee will be void.
- Use only original accessories and/or spare parts suitable for your specific helmet model.
- Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible, or not visible with the naked eye; helmets
which received impacts are to be replaced. Always handle your helmet carefully in order not to com-
promise or reduce its protection degree.
- In case of doubt about the helmet integrity and safety, avoid using it and contact an authorized
dealer to let it check.
CHOOSING THE HELMET
1
SIZE
1.1 In order to determine the correct helmet size, try on helmets of different sizes and choose the one
which suits best the shape of your head and which you feel firm once worn and fastened, thus en-
suring a great comfort.
1.2 Should the helmet be too big, it may slide down covering the eyes or turn slowly to the side while
riding.
1.3 Keep it on for a few minutes and make sure there are no points of extreme pressure that may cause
pain or headache.
2 TAKING OFF THE HELMET
2.1 With the helmet on and the strap securely fastened, try to take the helmet off as shown in
figure (A). In case of accident the different forces at stake and their various directions may
result in helmet rotations or they may even cause the helmet to slip off if it is not securely
fastened.
2.2 The helmet should not rotate nor move on the head and should not slide off. Should the
contrary happen, adjust strap length or change helmet size. Repeat test.
3 RETENTION SYSTEM
3.1 The retention system (strap) is factory-adjusted at a standard length. Before use, check that it is
correctly pre-adjusted.
3.2 Make sure the strap is properly fastened and tightened so as to keep the helmet firmly in place.
Anyway, before riding, make sure that the strap is well fastened under the chin, as close as possible
to the throat, but without being uncomfortable.
3.3 The correct strap tension should allow normal breathing and swallowing, but without leaving the
space of a finger between strap and throat.
WARNING
The button which may be present on the strap only prevent its end from flapping once the
strap has been fastened properly.
VISOR
- If the visor is damaged or deeply scratched causing reduced visibility, this means that the protective
treatment is probably damaged so the visor is to be replaced.
- The visor can be used for the intended helmet model only.
- Do not paint nor apply stickers.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING
Helmet and visor may be seriously damaged by some common substances without the dam-
age being however visible. Use only lukewarm water and mild soap to clean helmet and visor,
and then let them dry at room temperature away from sunrays and/or heat sources.
WARNING
Never use petrol, thinner, benzene, solvents nor other chemicals which may:
- Irreparably damage the helmet;
- Modify optical properties, reduce mechanical ones and weaken the visor protective treatment.
