modiy the helmet in any way unless the modications are specically authorized

TRANSPORT: Given the type o device (helmet), no particular instructions are
necessary or its transport. During transport do not pack the helmet too tightly.
LIFE: The actual lifetime of a product ends when it meets one of the retirement
criteria listed below (see "When to retire your equipment"), or when it is judged
obsolete (see "Product Obsolescence"). The actual lietime is infuenced by a
variety of factors such as: the intensity, frequency, and environment of use, the
competence of the user, how well the product is stored and maintained, etc.
ATTENTION: in extreme cases, the lietime o the product can be reduced to
one single use through exposure to far example any of the following: chemicals,
extreme temperatures, sharp edges, major fall or load, etc. lnspect the helmet
regularly to check or any damage! Cracks, detached parts, warping, faking,
and changes in color are signicant elements or veriying the helmet's state o
deterioration; in any case, we advise replacing it alter approximately 5 years,
because over time its capacity or protection decreases due to the aging o the
materials. The manufacturing date is shown on the inside of the helmet.
INSPECTION: lnspect equipment periodically for damage and/or deterioration.
l you nd any minor cuts, abrasions, or other visible damage, make sure the
helmet is inspected beore urther use. In addition to the inspection beore and
during use, a periodic in-depth inspection must be carried out by a competent
inspector at least once every 12 months. The frequency of the in-depth
inspection must be governed by the type and the intensity o use. To keep better
track o your equipment, it is preerable to assign each piece o equipment
to a unique user so that he/she will know its history. The results o inspections
should be documented in an "inspection record". This document must allow
recording of the following details: type of equipment, model, name and contact
inormation o the manuacturer or distributor, means o identication (serial or
individual number), year o manuacture, date o purchase, date o rst use, name
of user, all other pertinent information for example maintenance and frequency
o use, the history o periodic inspections (date, comments and noted problems,
name and signature o the competent person who perormed the inspection).
WHEN TO RETIRE YOUR EQUIPMENT: immediately retire any equipment if:
- it ails to pass inspection (inspection beore and during use and the periodic
in-depth inspection);
- it has been subjected to a major all or load;
- you do not know its ull usage history;
