WARNING
No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible
impacts.
For maximum protection, the helmet must fit firmly on
the head, and all retention straps must be securely
fastened. With the chinstrap comfortably but firmly
adjusted, it should not be possible, in most cases, for
the helmet to be removed from the head when pulled
at the rear in an upward direction.
The helmet is designed to be retained by a strap
under the chin.
The helmet may be used with glasses.
No attachments should be made to the helmet except
those recommended by the helmet manufacturer. Do
not drill or cut the shell.
The helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial
destruction of the shell and liner. This damage may
not be visible. Therefore if it subjected to a severe
blow, the helmet should be replaced even if it is
apparently undamaged.
The liner is essential to the intended performance of
the helmet.
The helmet may be damaged and rendered
ineffective by petroleum products, cleaning agents,
paints, adhesives, etc., without the damage being
visible to the user. Use only warm soapy water to clean
the helmet surface.

CARE ANd MAINTENANCE

Clean the outside and inside of your helmet regularly.
Use a soft cloth and warm or slightly soapy water.
NEVER USE GAS OIL, SOLVENTS, PETROL OR OTHER
AGGRESSIVE PRODUCTS.
The padding is removable to make it easy to clean.

wash and drip dry.
To clean the visor (shield), dip it in lukewarm soapy
water. Wipe it in a lint free cloth from the top to the
bottom avoiding any circular motion.
After correctly cleaning the vents and the visor

time to time with white or silicone grease to maximize
their durability.

dry temperate place. Avoid storing your helmet for an
extended period in a place exposed to strong light.
