Warning:
Never modify your helmet!
It is very dangerous to drill holes or to cut the shell and/or the
shock absorbing liner. Modification can seriously weaken the
helmet. Modifying the retention system weakens it, increasing the
likelihood of snapping during impact. Removing parts such as the
mouth guard or rubber face molding can expose edges that may
injure you in an accident. Always use approved SCHUBERTH parts
when replacing shields, screws, or any other parts. A weakened
helmet will not provide head protection.
Warning:
Do not repaint the helmet!
Repainting of your helmet is not recommended. Paint and thinner
can damage the helmet and reduce its ability to provide head
protection in an accident.
Caution:
Do not carry the helmet on the motorcycle's helmet storage lock
while riding in order to avoid exhaust pipe burns, tire abrasion,
and strap damage to the helmet.
Caution:
Keep the helmet outside the reach of pets to avoid the helmet
being damaged by chewing, scratching or other mistreatment.

i. mAinTenAnce And cAre
1. OUTER SHELL
To clean the helmet shell, you can use water, soapy water or one of
the commonly available motorcycle shampoos, cleaners, polishes
and plastic cleaners, or cleaning fluid. The use of water and soapy
water is usually sufficient. Make sure when using the other cleaning
materials that these do not come into contact with the visor, since
these can cause damage to the visor and coating.
Warning:
Never use motor fuel, thinners, glass cleaner or other solvents to
clean the helmet! Your helmet can be seriously damaged by these
substances without visible damage.
Warning:
A helmet damaged or weakened by a cleaning agent may not
provide head protection in an accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death!
Warning:
Never use hot or salt water to clean the helmet. Your helmet can
be seriously damaged by this treatment without damage being
visible to you.
2. CHIN SECTION
Please check at regular intervals that the chin section, the two locks
and the lock indicators are working correctly.
Warning:
You should not make any modifications to the locks. In particular,
you should not oil or grease the metal components of the chin
section lock. Repairs may only be carried out by the SCHUBERTH
Repair Service.
