MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Remove the Pinlock
inner visor from the visor. Using a damp and soft cloth, gently
®
clean it with neutral liquid soap. Remove the soap under running water.
Dry the inner visor with dry and lukewarm air without wiping it.
To keep the features of the inner visor in good conditions over time, let the helmet dry
in a ventilated and dry place with the visor open after use.
Keep it away from heat sources and store it in a place away from direct light.
Do not use solvents or chemical products.

VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS)
The new and exclusive inner Vision Protection System (VPS) is a LEXAN™ (*) - mould-
ed sun screen with scratch-resistant and fog-resistant treatment.
Using it is very simple and practical: Just lower it to activate it or lift it to remove it
from the field of vision. It is useful in all sorts of situations, both on long journeys out
of town and shorter town trips.
Moreover, the fastening system allows you to assemble and disassemble the sun
screen without any tools to allow ordinary maintenance and cleaning operations.
VPS Operation
The VPS mechanism allows activating the sun screen easily and without operating
on the visor, by simply lowering it until it partially covers the visor field of vision. In
this way, the desired light transmittance reduction is achieved. At any time, without
operating the visor, the VPS can be deactivated with a simple movement and easily
pulled up to restore the normal conditions of visibility and protection guaranteed by
the approved helmet visor.
To activate the VPS, push the slider forward (Fig. 8 B) until you hear the click, which
means the slider and VPS are correctly in place.
To deactivate the VPS push the recovery button (Fig. 8 A) until the VPS unlocks and
moves automatically in standby position.
Precautions for Use
The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the visor minimum light trans-
mittance levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not less than
50% when riding during the day. For this reason, when riding during the day under
particularly bright weather conditions, e.g. very strong sunlight caused by high in-
tensity and/or incidence of the sunbeams, the use of sunglasses - which have a
transmittance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not absolutely
necessary, to reduce eye fatigue on long trips. Sunglasses also reduce the risk of
direct dazzling as opposed to the use of mere approved visors. However, the use of
sunglasses makes it difficult to perform in emergency situations when the maximum
visibility range of the visor must be quickly restored. Just think, for example, of what
happens when you enter a tunnel or when unexpected changes in environmental
brightness occur. Thanks to its operating mechanism, the VPS makes these opera-
tions much easier.
