H. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Note:
Avoid closing the visor fully when the helmet is not in use
(especially in storage) since any moisture inside the helmet
cannot escape and will be absorbed by the anti-fog coating to a
greater extent than normal. This can reduce the service life of
the coating. The best method is to lock the visor open in the 3rd
locking position above the town-riding position.
Note:
Never attach labels, adhesive tape or stickers to the visor or sun
visor.
Tip:
A milky coating that may occur after a long period of non-
use (through reaction of the active anti-fog coating with the
environment) is most easily removed with a dry microfi bre cloth.
Tip:
Stubborn dirt on the outer surface of the visor (e.g. dried-on
insect remains) can be easily removed by covering the closed
visor with a moist to wet cloth and allowing the dirt to soften for
around 1/2 to 1 hour.
Note:
The visor should not be stored in a place where the temperature
is above 60 °C since this will cause damage to the visor.

4. INTERIOR LINING
Replaceable parts of the interior lining
The head and cheek pads can be washed by hand using a mild soapy
solution (e.g. with strongly diluted standard mild detergent) at a
maximum temperature of 30 °C.
Tip:
If required (e.g. during a break in a journey), the headband can be
hung out to dry over the mirror.
Non-replaceable parts of the interior lining
Use a mild, lukewarm soap solution (e.g. any very diluted, normal
mild detergent can be used) to clean the interior lining.
Carefully apply the soap solution with a damp sponge or cloth by
dabbing or gentle rubbing. The inner padding should not be soaked
with water. Remove the soap solution from the padding by pressing a
dry, absorbent cloth on it. Repeat this process with clear water.
Afterwards, allow the interior padding to dry in a well-ventilated place.
TechSkin
It is best to clean the TechSkin comfort material with high-quality
leather-like surface structure regularly with a soft, moistened cloth.
