WARNING
- Before using the helmet read this booklet and all enclosed documents carefully, in that they
contain very important indications on how to use the helmet easily and safely. We recommend
you to store it for future reference.
- Failure to observe these instructions may reduce the protection provided by the helmet and
consequently put your safety at risk.
- Do not operate or act in such a way that could compromise or reduce the protection provided
by the helmet.
CHOICE AND VERIFICATION OF HELMET
WARNING
To exploit the whole protection offered by the helmet, choose the correct size for your
head, adjust the retention system correctly and check the taking off.
1 SIZE
1.1 In order to determine the correct helmet size, try on helmets of different sizes and choose the
one which suits best the shape of your head and which you feel firm once worn and fastened,
thus ensuring a great comfort.
1.2 Should the helmet be too big, it may slide down to cover the eyes or turn slowly to the side
while riding.
1.3 Keep it on for a few minutes and make sure there are no points of extreme pressure that may
cause pain or headache.
2 RETENTION SYSTEM
2.1 The retention system (strap) is factory-adjusted at a standard length. Before use (see relevant
instructions) check that it is correctly pre-adjusted.
2.2 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.
2.3 The correct strap tension should allow normal breathing and swallowing, but without leaving
the space of a finger between strap and throat.
WARNING
The button which may be present on the strap only prevent its end from flapping once
the strap has been fastened properly.
3 TAKING OFF
3.1 With the helmet on and the strap securely fastened, try to take the helmet off as shown in fig-
ure (A). In case of accident, the different forces at stake and their various directions may result
in helmet rotations or they may even cause the helmet to take off if it is not securely fastened.
3.2 The helmet should not rotate nor move on the head and should not slide off. Should the con-
trary happen, adjust strap length or change helmet size. Repeat test.
USING THE HELMET
- The helmet is specifically designed for motorcycle and motorbike use. Therefore, it must not
be used for different purposes (or different reasons or operations) since, in such cases, it
would not guarantee the same protection.
- In case of accident, the helmet represents a protective element, which reduces injuries and
head damage. Nevertheless, no helmet can guarantee total safety. The helmet reduces the risk
or the gravity of injuries in case of accidents, but the degree of some impacts and the different
circumstances may exceed helmet protection. Therefore, ride safely.

SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- When riding any motorcycle, always wear the helmet properly fastened in order to
fully exploit its protection.
- Never wear scarves under the fastening system nor caps of any sort under the hel-
met.
- The helmet can muffle traffic noises. However make sure that you can hear essential
sounds such as horns and emergency vehicle sirens.
- Always keep the helmet away from heat sources like the exhaust muffler, the top box
housing or the interior of a vehicle.
- Do not modify and/or tamper with the helmet (even partially) for any reason: any modifications
and/or alterations compromise the safety requirements of the helmet and impair its protection
degree. These also make the helmet no longer conform to the homologation standards, mak-
ing it unusable and invalidate the warranty.
- Avoid contact between the helmet and gasoline and other solvents; do not apply adhesives or
paints to the helmet.
- Helmet damages resulting from accidental falls may not be visible, and any helmet that has
been impacted has to be replaced. Always handle your helmet carefully in order not to com-
promise or reduce its protection degree.
- If the visor and/or sunscreen that may be present in the helmet are damaged and/or have
marked scratches that reduce visibility, their protective treatment has likely been compro-
mised, and therefore they must be replaced.
- The visor and/or sunscreen that may be present in the helmet can only be used with the helmet
model for which they were designed.
- Use only original accessories and/or spare parts suitable for your specific helmet model.
- In case of doubt about the helmet's integrity and/or safety, avoid using it and contact an au-
thorized dealer to have it checked.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF THE HELMET
WARNING
- The helmet and its components may be seriously damaged by some common substances
without the damage being visible. Use only lukewarm water and mild soap for maintenance
and cleaning operations; dry at room temperature away from the sun and/or heat sources.
- Never use petrol, thinner, benzene, solvents or other chemical substances, paints, and adhe-
sives for maintenance and cleaning operations. These can irreparably damage the helmet and
its components, modify its optical properties, reduce its mechanical properties and weaken
the protective treatment of the visor and/or sunscreen that may be present in the helmet.
