SAFETY AND NORMS OF 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.
- Failure to observe these instructions may reduce the protection provided by the
helmet and consequently your safety.
• USING THE HELMET
- The helmet has been specifically designed for motorcycle and motorbike use the-
refore equal protection is not guaranteed for any use different from the intended
one.
- In case of accident, the helmet represents a protective element, which reduces injuries
and head damage. This notwithstanding, it cannot alone prevent serious and/or fatal
injuries due to the specific accident dynamics, therefore drive carefully.
- When driving 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 damage the helmet or part of it for whatsoever reason. Use only
original accessories and/or spare parts suitable for your specific helmet model.
- Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible; helmets, which received
violent impacts, are to be replaced.
- 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
Size:
- In order to determine the correct size, try on helmets of various sizes, and then choo-
se the one, which fits firmly, but being comfortable.
- Should the helmet be too big, it may slide down covering the eyes or turn slowly to the
side while riding.
- Keep it on for a few minutes and make sure there are no points of extreme pressure
that may cause pain or headache.
Taking off the helmet:
- With the helmet on and the strap well fastened, try to take off the helmet as shown in
the figure (Fig. A). Indeed, in case of accident, the impacts tend to slide off the helmet
from the head.
