F. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY
For your safety, check the following points before every journey:
1. CHECKING THE HELMET
Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superficial scratches will
not impair the protective function of your helmet. In the case of more
serious damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking paint, etc.), the
helmet should no longer be used. If necessary, you may submit the
J1 with postage paid for a free of charge technical check to the
SCHUBERTH Service center (see chapter J.3. Safety Check).
Note:
If your body weight has dropped significantly, you should check
that your helmet is still the right size for you (see Section C.3.).
2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP (with helmet on and fastened)
1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.
2. Slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull.
- If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is adjusted too long
and needs to be tightened.
- If pulling with your index finger loosens the chinstrap, it's not
properly fastened! Completely undo the chinstrap and try fastening
it again. Repeat the test.
3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it is firmly against
the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you (see
Section C.3.).

Note:
Repeat the test after each correction.
Caution:
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted!
The chinstrap should fit correctly and should not become loose
when pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap
becomes loose when pulled.
3. CHECKING THE VISOR AND SUN VISOR
Make sure to check full functionality of the visor and sun visor
mechanism and good visibility prior to each use. Remove any dirt
before each use (see care instructions - chapter H.2.). Check visor and
sun visor for mechanical damage and cracks. A severely scratched
visor will inhibit visibility and may have to be replaced before use.
Caution:
Never use tinted visors in conditions of poor visibility or when
riding at night or in a tunnel.
Caution:
A scratched and/or dirty visor will seriously impair visibility.
For your own safety, replace it or clean it immediately.
Caution:
Make sure the visor is always in perfect condition. A damaged
visor is not suitable for riding and needs to be replaced.
Caution:
Stop riding when visibility is poor.
