adjust system). If the helmet is worn correctly, it must
not move or rock side to side. The better the helmet
adjustment, the higher the level of safety (Fig. 3)
Check before use
Before use, check the state of the shell and harness sys-
tem, check the state of the chin strap and stitching. Check
if the size adjustment system and chin strap buckle work
properly.
Changes to original components
The possible change or removal of original components
of the product can limit its safety features. It is highly
recommended that no modifications or adjustments are
made to the equipment to add further components unless
explicitly advised so by the manufacturer in writing. Apply
colours, solvents, glue or sticky labels only if they comply
with the information provided by the manufacturer.
Warning!
The products must not be exposed to dangerous con-
ditions and improper treatments. Avoid contact with
corrosive or aggressive substances (such as: acids, bases,
flux for welding, oils, detergents). Avoid exposure to high
temperatures, for instance by leaving the helmet inside
a vehicle exposed to sunlight. Avoid contact with heat or
sparks. Do not sit on the helmet and do not compress the
helmet in a sack. Avoid contact with sharp objects. Avoid
letting the helmet fall.
Temperature of use
The product (dry state) may be used permanently in the
temperature range of -20°C to +50°C.
Lifetime and replacement
The lifetime of the product depends on the typology and
frequency of use and well as on external factors. Although
not used, the helmet is subject to ageing due to the inten-
sity of UV rays and weather conditions.
Normal use
Duration in case of normal and proper use, without evident
wear marks and under optimal storage conditions: 9 years.
Maximum duration of the product under optimal storage
conditions and if not used: 10 years.
Very frequent use or under extreme conditions
If the product is used under extreme conditions, very
high or very low temperatures, sea water, or if exposed
to frequent blows and shocks due to the fall of stones/
ice and if it presents many scratches, its safety features
could be reduced even after a brief period of use so that
the product should be replaced. This helmet is designed to
absorb the energy after an impact. The absorption of the
blow occurs through the partial breaking or damaging of
the shell or the internal part of the helmet. After a strong
impact (blow, fall of stones or ice) the helmet must be re-
placed even if it does not present visible damages. The
same applies in the case of deep scratches or if the produ-
ct gets into contact with chemicals.
Storage and transportation
Store the product in a dry and cool place, not exposed to
sunlight, chemicals and at a temperature between 5 and
35 °C. Store the product without exposing it to mechani-
cal fatigue originating from crushing, pressure or traction.
During transportation protect the product from direct
sunlight, chemicals, dirt and mechanical damages. Use a
protective bag or special containers for safe-keeping and
transportation.
Cleaning
Clean dirty products in warm water (if needed, also
with neutral soap). Rinse thoroughly with water. Never
dry the product in a dryer or near heaters and radiators
but at room temperature. If needed, use also available
non-halogen disinfectants.
Warranty
Two years against material or manufacturing faults. Nor-
mal wear, oxidation, changes, bad preservation and diffe-
rent uses are excluded from warranty.
