against the forces generated by any type of crash.
EN
The integrity of the shell and of the inside are essential to assure
maximum performances in terms of safety. X-WING was studied to
absorb crashes through a partial destruction of the shell or some of
its parts that could be damaged after a crash even if it is not readily
visibly. If the helmet suffers further stress it might not be able to offer
the maximum level of protection.
Do not use a helmet that suffered severe blows even though the
damage is not readily visible; if the helmet is damaged it must be
replaced.
It is extremely dangerous to modify the helmet by sticking or gluing
anything on it. Do not cut or punch the helmet's shell, do not insert
screws or paint it.
Do not change the internal lining of the helmet, particularly never cut
or change the inside polystyrene padding: changes to the shape of the
internal polystyrene shell can affect the safety features of the helmet.
USE
Only use original Suomy accessories and spare parts or those
specifically indicated by Suomy for the specific model: this is the only
way to assure reliability, safety and compatibility with the helmet used.
The use of non original components and/or accessories make the
warranty void (see warranty conditions on page 20) and can affect
the safety requirements.

MAINTENANCE
To clean the shell use water and mild soap; let the helmet dry at room
temperature, never expose it to heat.
Cleaning the helmet with solvents, petrol by-products or chemical
substances, the application of stickers or paint could affect the
structure of the shell, thus affecting the safety features, even if the
damage is not readily visible.
Do not paint, or apply stickers, petrol or other chemical solvents to
this helmet.
To clean the internal lining, just hand wash at 30°C maximum,
exclusively using mild soap.
To clean the fixed internal lining use a damp cloth and mild soap.
The fabric lining, even if they are part of removable elements, must
not be soaked in water when they are applied to or paired with an
internal padding, either rigid or soft.
Dry the pieces at room temperature, away from sunlight and without
exposing them to heat sources.
Periodically clean the «D-Rings» system with warm water and mild
soap. Do not use solvents or chemical detergents and do not lubricate.
Some colorings are made with Fluo UV paints that could be subject
to the natural migration phenomenon with a drop in intensity. The
phenomenon could be enhanced when the helmet is exposed for long
periods to a particularly intense light. However, this does not affect the
performances and the quality of X-WING
Suomy therefore, cannot be held responsible if this should occur.
