F. FOR YOUR SAFETY
Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact should be
replaced.
No helmet provides absolute protection from all conceivable
impacts. This helmet has been specially developed for motorcycle
riding and is unsuitable for other purposes.
Examine the helmet for damage at regular intervals. Small
scratches will not impair the protective function of your helmet.
The helmet should be replaced after 5 to 7 years, depending on
use and care. Although the outer shell is in principle capable of a
longer service life, the occurrence of material fatigue and wear to
other components, as well as the overall action of the helmet and
the unknown conditions in which the helmet has been used, make it
advisable for your own safety to replace the helmet after this period
of use.
Exposure to intense heat (e.g. from exhaust) may damage
the shield, the finish, the interior of the helmet and the internal
elements.
Direct contact with motor fuel, thinners or solvents can destroy the
structure of the inner and outer shell. Make sure the helmet does
not come into contact with such substances, even for cleaning
purposes.

2. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE FACE SHIELD /
SUN VISOR
The protective film used during shipping should be removed before
use.
Any scratches and/or dirt arising from the use of the face shield
and/or sun visors significantly impair your vision in any driving
situation and thus increase the risk of an accident. For your own
safety, replace them or clean them immediately.
Never use a tinted face shield or sun visor in conditions of poor
visibility, at night or in a tunnel!
Benzine, solvent and fuel vapour can cause cracks in the face
shield. Keep the face shield away from such vapours and do not
allow these kinds of substances to come into direct contact with the
face shield! Never place the helmet on the tank of your motorcycle.
Make sure the face shield is always in perfect condition. Don't ride
when visibility is poor!
3. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS /
ACCESSORIES
Original components (in particular on the outer shell, inner shell
and restraint system) should not be altered or removed. The fitting
of additional parts from other manufacturers that have not been
recommended can reduce the protective effect and renders the
ECE certification and all warranty and insurance claims invalid.
Use only original parts, replacement parts and accessories that
Touratech has expressly approved for your helmet!
