1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The safety helmet is designed to absorb the effects of only one impact.
The helmet must be replaced after a fall, accident or any other impact.
Caution: This helmet is not intended for use in the USA and Canada. The helmet has
been inspected and approved to the European ECER 22.05 Standard and therefore
does not conform to US and Canadian regulations and requirements. It is only legal to
use the helmet in countries in which the European ECER 22.05 Standard is valid.
If you use the helmet in other countries, you will not in the event of injury be entitled
to make a claim for compensation before the US or Canadian courts or the courts of
other countries not bound by the ECER 22.05 Standard.
As a result of the aeroacoustic optimisation of the helmet (and the lower wind noise
inside the helmet that comes with it), your actual speed can easily be underestimated.
Never ride without making sure that the chinstrap is correctly fastened and adjusted
and properly positioned. If the chinstrap is not correctly adjusted or fastened, the
helmet could be displaced in the event of an accident.
Closing the comfort pad of the chinstrap alone will not provide adequate protection.
The chinstrap must always be fully fastened.
Never open the chinstrap while riding.
When adjusting the strap, make sure that the helmet cannot be pulled off in a forward
direction with the chinstrap closed.
Check the adjustment of the chinstrap length at regular intervals.
As a result of the double lens structure, there is a possibility of greater light reflection
in the face schield, especially when riding at night. As a rule, such light reflection is
regarded as uncritical due to the absence of fog with this type of visor.
If moisture is present in or has penetrated the airtight area between the two plates,
you should remove the antifog lens immediately in order to prevent any interference
with visibility. Do not refit it until both plstes are completely dry (we recommend
airdrying). If you should subsequently detect any further penetration of moisture,
the antifog lens should not be used on any account and must be replaced.

Petrol, solvent and fuel vapours can cause cracking of the face shield. Make sure that
the face shield is never exposed to such vapours! Never place the helmet on the tank
of a motorcycle.
Never ride in the dark or in conditions of poor visibility with the sun visor down.
Always raise the sun visor before entering a tunnel.
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 ride when parts of the inner lining have been removed.
Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the inner lining.
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The chinstrap should
fit correctly and should not become loose when pulled. The fastener is not correctly
closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when pulled.
Never use tinted face shield or sun visor in conditions of poor visibility, when riding at
night or in a tunnel.
A scratched and/or dirty face shield will seriously impair visibility. For your own safety,
replace it or clean it immediately.
Make sure the face shield and sun visor are always in perfect condition.
A damaged face shield is not suitable for riding and needs to be replaced.
Stop riding if visibility is poor.
2. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE HELMET
Motorcycling is associated with particular risks and dangers for the rider and passenger.
These risks and dangers can be reduced, but not eliminated completely, by wearing a
helmet. It is impossible to state precisely what the protective effect of a helmet will be
in the event of an accident. Safe riding techniques, adapted to the particular road and
weather conditions, are essential for your safety.
To provide adequate protection, the helmet must fit well and be securely fastened.
Always fasten the chinstrap before setting off and check that the fastening system and
strap are correctly in position.
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The chinstrap must
be correctly positioned and must not come loose when pulled. The fastener is not
correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when pulled.
