X-lite X-601 Sécurité Et Instructions D'utilisation page 5

- The helmet should not rotate nor move on the head and should not slide off. Should the
contrary happen, adjust strap length or change helmet size. Repeat test.
Retention System:
- The retention system (strap) is factory-adjusted at a standard length. Before use, check
that it is correctly pre-adjusted.
- Make sure the strap is properly fastened and tightened so as to keep the helmet firmly
in place. Anyway, before riding, make sure that the strap is well fastened under the chin,
as close as possible to the throat, but without being uncomfortable.
- The correct strap tension should allow normal breathing and swallowing, but without
leaving the space of a finger between strap and throat.
- Attention: The "Velcro" part or the button which may be present on the strap only pre-
vent its end from flapping once the strap has been fastened properly.
• VISOR:
- If the visor is damaged or deeply scratched causing reduced visibility, this means that
the protective treatment is probably damaged so the visor is to be replaced.
- Do not paint nor apply stickers.
- The visor can be used only for the intended helmet model.
• MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
- Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible; helmets, which received vio-
lent impacts, are to be replaced.
- Attention: Helmet and visor may be seriously damaged by some common substances
without the damage being however visible. Use only lukewarm water and mild soap to
clean helmet and visor, and then let them dry at room temperature away from sunrays
and/or heat sources.
- Attention: Never use petrol, thinner, benzene, solvents nor other chemicals which may:
• Irreparably damage the helmet
• Modify optical properties, reduce mechanical ones and weaken the visor protective
treatment.

1 Removal (Fig. 1)
1.1 Open the visor completely.
1.2 Press and hold the visor release button (A) down and slide the visor forward until it
clicks.
1.3 Free the visor hooks (B1 and B2) from their housing.
1.4 Follow the same steps on the other side of the helmet.
2 Assembly (Fig. 2)
2.1 Set the visor in open position by placing the visor hooks (B1 and B2) in line with the
housings in the visor mechanism.
2.2 Insert hook B1 in the housing provided and press the visor against the shell in line
with hook B2. This will actuate the visor release button.
2.3 Slide the visor until the visor locks into place.
2.4 Follow the same steps on the other side of the helmet.
3 Visor adjustment (Fig. 3)
The visor mechanism is equipped with a visor clearance take-up system that ensures that
the visor is pulled down and effectively against the window trim. This is why the mecha-
nism's support has an upper and lower reference tooth. The helmet is delivered with a cor-
rectly adjusted system. When using the helmet, regularly check that the visor adheres per-
fectly and is in line with the lip trim of the window trim when it is pulled down all the way.
If this is not the case, proceed as follows:
3.1 Disassemble the visor (see section 1) and check in which position of the upper refer-
ence A1 and lower reference A2 teeth the mechanism is located.
3.2 Loosen the two screws B1 and B2 on the visor mechanism using a 2.5 mm Allen
screw wrench.
3.3 Lift the mechanism from its support and move it forward or backward according to the
adjustment to be made. Then lower the mechanism into its support so that upper A1
lower A2 adjustment teeth are in the same position.
3.4 Tighten both screws B1 and B2.
3.5 Repeat the same steps on the other side of the helmet.
3.6 Mount the visor (see section 2)
3.7 Check contact between the visor and the trim.
ATTENTION!!!
- After each assembly or disassembly procedure of the different parts, check that the
visor mechanism works properly by pulling the visor up and down; if necessary, repeat
the steps described above.
- Do not remove the visor pulling up/down mechanisms from the shell.
