Warning:
Always check your helmet before every ride!
1. Check the faceshield and sun visor.
2. Check the correct function of the faceshield and sun visor
mechanics.
3. Check for cracks in the helmet. Strong acid (e.g. battery acid)
can damage the shield bases. If you find cracks or damage,
stop using the helmet immediately.
4. Check helmet for deterioration. If you find deterioration in any
part of a component, either replace that component or get a
new helmet. If these parts come loose and/or fall off while you
are riding, your vision may be blocked, which could cause an
accident resulting in serious personal injury or death.
5. Check the security of the retention system (see section G.3.).
For checking instructions and procedure see also section G.
(before every journey) of this manual.
Warning:
Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact
should be replaced!
Your helmet is designed to distribute the force incurred during
an impact over a wide area. Even if your helmet looks visibly
undamaged, its useful life has come to an end after only one
impact during riding, i.e. an accident where you and your helmet
hit the ground or an object. In an impact, the helmet's impact
absorbing liner becomes compacted.
Once this has happened, the helmet no longer has the ability to
absorb further impacts. Your helmet may look the same, but it
will not provide protection in an accident. Therefore, a helmet that
has experienced an impact should be destroyed and replaced.

Warning:
Don't mistreat your helmet!
Never ride with the helmet hanging from the helmet holder, and
do not hang the helmet from angled supports such as a mirror.
Do not sit on or throw your helmet. You should not expose the
liner of your helmet to strong sunlight and excessive heat such
as near heaters or where temperatures exceed 50° C (122° F).
Avoid spraying insect repellent chemicals (such as „naphthalene")
near the helmet. Mistreating your helmet will damage the shell
and impact absorbing liner, reducing the helmet's ability to protect
you in an accident.
Warning:
Don't use the helmet for anything than motorcycling!
No helmet provides absolute protection from all conceivable
impacts. This helmet has been specially developed for motorcycle
riding. It may not be suitable for other purposes.
Warning:
Replace the helmet after no more than five years!
The useful life of the helmet depends on its use and care. We
recommend that this helmet has to be replaced after no more
than five years from its date of purchase.
Warning:
Never use the helmet with the lining removed!
If the lining is not installed before use, the helmet may not fit
properly and could come off in an accident, resulting in severe
head injury or death. Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause
damage to the helmet (especially to the helmet to graphics, the
inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining)!
Warning:
Avoid direct contact with aggressive substances!
The direct effect of motor fuels, 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!
