INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The helmet can be used in two configurations: with chin guard closed (P configura-
tion) or with chin guard open (J configuration).
Using the helmet with chin guard and visor closed definitely guarantees a higher level
of protection if compared with the other configuration.
DUAL ACTION
This unique chin guard opening system - positioned in the centre of the chin guard
- allows for easy, one-handed opening and prevents it from accidentally opening be-
cause the chin guard can only be opened after operating the first red lever (release
lever) and then the second red lever (opening lever).
NOTE: the configuration with chin guard open and VPS raised is recommended to
ensure a better fit of the helmet.
1. Chin Guard Opening
1.1. Push the red release lever outwards by turning it with your thumb (Fig.1).
1.2. Place your forefinger on top of the opening lever and push it downwards so as
to unlock the chin guard (Fig.2).
1.3. Pull the chin guard forwards, accompanying it as it rotates upwards (Fig.3).
Warning: If the helmet is used with chin guard open (J configuration), it is recom-
mended to place the left side locking slider in position "J" to secure the chin guard
in lifted position (Fig.4B).
2. Chin Guard Closing
Warning: Make sure the left side locking slider is in position "P" to be able to close
the chin guard (Fig.4A).
2.1. Pull the chin guard downwards, accompanying it as it rotates, until you hear the
clicks of the closing mechanism. (Fig.3).
2.2. Make sure the chin guard is correctly fastened by pulling it forward and by
checking that both sides remain fastened to the shell.
When the left side locking slider is in position "P", the chin guard can be opened and/
or closed (Fig.4A).
When the left side locking slider is in position "J", the chin guard can not be closed
and remains blocked in the open position (Fig.4B).
Warning: When the left side locking slider is in position "J" do not force the closing
of the chin guard because it could cause damages to the helmet's closing mecha-
nism. To close the chin guard, it is necessary to move the locking slider to position
"P" (Fig.4A).
