MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

- Remove the PINLOCK
gently clean it with mild liquid soap. Rinse off all the soap under running water.
- Leave the visor to dry in warm and dry air without wiping it.
- To preserve the visor's condition over time, leave the helmet to dry in a ventilated
and dry place with the visor open after use. Keep it away from heat sources and
store it in a place away from direct light.
- Do not use solvents or chemical products.
VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) - (VPS-14)
The exclusive inner VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) is a LEXAN™ (*) polycarbonate
moulded sunscreen with scratch-resistant/fog-resistant treatment. It is very simple and
practical to use: just lower it to activate it or lift it to remove it from your field of vision. It
is useful in all sorts of situations, both on long journeys out of town and shorter town trips.
Moreover, the fastening system allows you to assemble and disassemble the sun-
screen for ordinary maintenance and cleaning, using no tools.
1 OPERATION
The VPS mechanism allows to activate the sunscreen by simply lowering it until the visor
field of vision is partially covered. In this way, the light transmittance is reduced as desired.
At any time, without operating the visor, the VPS can be deactivated with a simple
movement and easily lifted up to restore the normal conditions of visibility and protec-
tion guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.
1.1 To activate the VPS, move the slider as in Fig.10 until you hear a click that means
that the VPS is in the desired position.
The VPS is adjustable in a range of intermediate positions to ensure the best
comfort for the user with respect to the terms of use.
1.2 To deactivate the VPS, press the recovery button as shown in Fig.11 until the VPS
unlocks and moves automatically in standby position.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

The current approval standards (ECE 22-05) state that the visor minimum light transmit-
tance levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not less than 50% when
riding in daylight. For this reason, under particularly bright weather conditions, e.g. very
strong sunlight caused by high intensity and/or incidence of the sunbeams, the use of
sunglasses - which entail a transmittance much lower than 50% - is recommended or
even necessary. This way, eye fatigue on long trips is reduced as well as the risk of direct
dazzling, as opposed to the use of mere approved helmet visors. However, the use of sun-
glasses makes it difficult to perform emergency manoeuvres when the maximum visibility
range of the helmet visor must be quickly restored. Just think, for example, of what hap-
pens when you enter a tunnel or when unexpected changes in environmental brightness
occur. Thanks to its operating mechanism, the VPS makes these operations much easier.
WARNING
- Use the special slider to activate/deactivate the VPS; do not deactivate the VPS
by handling it directly.
