1. READ FIRST

This helmet is not a toy!
To avoid suffocation or other dangers, keep this helmet, its packaging and all parts
delivered with the product, away from babies and children. Dispose all plastic bags
immediately.
The helmet is only legal to use the helmet in countries in which the DOT 218
Standard is valid!
The helmet has been tested and approved to the United States DOT 218 Standard and
does not conform to any other regulations and requirements. It is only legal to use the
helmet in countries in which the DOT 218 Standard is valid. If you use the helmet in
other countries, you will not be entitled to make a claim for compensation before the
US or Canadian courts or the courts of any other country in the event of injury.
No helmet is as safe as riding safely!
Motorcycle riding has special personal hazards. The risks that are being taken by riding
a motorcycle can be reduced but not eliminated by wearing a helmet.
No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts!
There are limits to the physical size and weight of the helmet a person is willing to
wear. The ability of a helmet to protect the wearer is limited. No helmet can protect
the wearer against all foreseeable impacts.
Use only a helmet that fits snugly all around your head!
Fasten the chin strap securely under your chin! A helmet can provide protection only
to the extent that your head is covered with the helmet. The use of a properly fitted,
securely fastened helmet can lessen the risk of death or permanent impairment due
to head injury. For maximum head protection, the helmet must be properly fitted and
should provide adequate peripheral vision. The retention system must be securely
fastened under the chin. Failure to have a proper fit and to securely fasten the helmet
is dangerous as the helmet could come off in an accident resulting in severe head injury
or death. For detailed information regarding proper fit.

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.
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.
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.
Don't ride with an open Face Shield!
Riding without the Face Shield or with an open Face Shield can result in injury to the
eyes and face from stones, dust, insects and other flying objects. The sun visor, when
lowered, will offer a certain amount of protection from light impact from stones or
insects but does not provide protection against all hazards.
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.
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.
