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.
Warning:
The chin section must be closed and locked when riding!
A helmet can provide protection only to the extent that your head
is covered with the helmet and the chin section respectively.
Warning:
After your helmet has protected you from an impact
or suffered a hit, you must get a new one!
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:
Clean your helmet carefully!
Only use lukewarm tap water, never benzene, gasoline, glass
cleaner or other solvents. Your helmet can be seriously damaged
by these substances without visible damage. 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 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:
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.
