F. FOR YOUR SAFETY
No helmet provides absolute protection from all conceivable impacts.
This helmet has been specially developed for motorcycle riding and is
unsuitable for other purposes.
Examine the helmet for damage at regular intervals. Small scratches will
not impair the protective function of your helmet.
The helmet should be replaced after 5 to 7 years, depending on use and
care. Although the outer shell is in principle capable of a longer service
life, the occurrence of material fatigue and wear to other components,
as well as the overall action of the helmet and the unknown conditions
in which the helmet has been used, make it advisable for your own
safety to replace the helmet after this period of use.
Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the decoration,
the inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining.
Direct contact with motor fuel, thinners or solvents can destroy the
structure of the inner and outer shell. Make sure the helmet does not
come into contact with such substances, even for cleaning purposes.
2. CONCERNING THE FACE SHIELD
The protective film used during shipping should be removed before use.
Any scratches and/or dirt arising from the use of the face shield
significantly impair your vision in any driving situation and thus increase
the risk of an accident. For your own safety, replace it or clean it
immediately.
Never use a tinted face shield in conditions of poor visibility, at night or
in a tunnel!
Benzene, solvent and fuel vapour can cause cracks in the face shield.
Keep the face shield away from such vapours and do not allow these
kinds of substances to come into direct contact with the face shield!
Never place the helmet on the tank of your motorcycle.
Make sure the face shield is always in perfect condition.
Don't ride when visibility is poor!

3. MODIFICATIONS / ACCESSORIES
Original components (in particular on the outer shell, inner shell
and restraint system) should not be altered or removed. The fitting
of additional parts from other manufacturers that have not been
recommended can reduce the protective effect and renders the ECE
certification and all warranty and insurance claims invalid.
Use only original parts, replacement parts and accessories that
SCHUBERTH has expressly approved for your helmet!
The installation of a communication system (including basic headsets)
constitutes a modification to the helmet. For this reason it is necessary
for any communication system and headset intended for installation
into a specific model of helmet to be tested and approved in line with
the ECE-R 22.05 European helmet standard, otherwise the helmet's
approval and compliance with insurance requirements become invalid on
installation. Evidence of approval in line with ECE-R 22.05 in connection
with a specific communication system is only valid if certified by
an official regulatory office of an EU member state. Any other form
of information from these or other institutions (e.g. on the general
suitability of communication systems for use in motorcycle helmets) is
of no relevance and the helmet will lose its approval.
