Using Your Helmet Correctly
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and to help prevent damage to your helmet :
• Never adjust your helmet accessories while riding – Only make helmet adjustments when stopped.
• Never drop your helmet – Dropping your helmet may crack the shell or damage the protective foam. The damage may
not be visible. Your helmet is only designed for ONE impact. Refer to "Helmet Replacement" (p. 11) for more information
on what to do after helmet has been dropped.
• Never wear anything between your head and your helmet – this may reduce the effectiveness of your helmet.
• Never hang or hook your helmet on anything including mirror stalks or sissy bars - Doing so may cause damage
to the helmet protective foam or liner.
• Never use insect repellent on or around your helmet – insect repellant may damage your helmet's shield, shell, protective
foam, or other components.
• Never expose helmet to gasoline or gasoline fumes – Gasoline may damage your helmet's shield, shell, protective
foam, or other components.
• Never use a dark or tinted face shield at night or in low visibility conditions.
• Never ride with the modular chin bar in the open position.
- If you have any questions on what other substances may damage your helmet, please contact us.
• Always wear eye protection – If you are not using a helmet with a face shield, always wear eye protection when riding.
Always lock your face shield in place when you are riding.
• Always be alert for sounds – Your helmet may impair your hearing. However, your helmet is not a form of hearing protection.
• Always store your helmet in its helmet bag when not in use to help reduce accidental surface damage.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, always use your helmet correctly.
Inspect your helmet
To ensure that your helmet is in the best condition to maximize your protection, always inspect your helmet for damage
before riding :
• Check the shield and shield ratchet – re-tighten shield ratchet screws if necessary. Be sure not to over-tighten any
screws. Plastic base plate screws can break and plastic screws can strip the screw sleeves if over-tightened.
• Check for helmet damage. If your helmet is damaged or cracked, stop using it immediately. See "Helmet Replacement" (p. 11)
section for further information. If your helmet has been dropped, you may not be able to see the damage.
• Check for worn or damaged parts. Plastic components may wear out over time. If you find worn or damaged parts, replace them
or purchase a new helmet. See "Replacement Parts" (p. 11) for information on parts replacement.
If parts fall off while riding, your vision may be blocked which could cause an accident.
• Check the retention system (chin strap) for damage. If it is frayed or ripped, replace the helmet.
• Check that all pads are in place. Both of the cheek pads and the crown pads must be in place.
Check Your Face Shield
If your face shield is scratched or damaged it may reduce the visibility-replace if necessary.
Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your motorcycle.
Fasten the Retention System
Fasten the retention system (chin strap) as tight as possible under your jaw without causing pain. There must be no slack in the
strap, and the strap must be snug up against your jaw. If the retention system is not tight, your helmet may become dislodged or
knocked off in an accident.

Maintaining Your Helmet Correctly
Shell Cleaning
Only use approved methods to clean the helmet. Using other unapproved chemicals or methods may damage the helmet shell
or lining. A damaged helmet may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Glossy Finish. HJC recommends cleaning your helmet with products designed for automotive cleaning and polishing. All HJC
helmets are finished with an automotive type base coat/clear coat finish. Rubbing compounds can be used for deep cleaning to
remove many scratches and scuffs. Follow the product's instructions diligently. Over polishing with rubbing compounds can cause
light abrasions which may dull the finish of your helmet. Stickers and decals will leave adhesive residue when removed. To remove
the adhesive residue, use alcohol swabs. Be certain to immediately wipe away the excess liquid and clean the area with soap and
water once the adhesive residue is removed. Do not use excessive pressure while rubbing when attempting to remove the adhesive
residue, instead use multiple light treatments.
Non-Glossy Finish. For our flat finish (non-glossy) helmets, we recommend using warm water and mild soap. Use multiple
treatments for heavier dirt. Do not use excessive pressure or rubbing compounds while cleaning the surface as a "glossy" effect
could be created, running the flat finish appearance.
1. Please clean helmets from dust, bugs or grass within one day.
Cleaning progress
■
1) Clean the helmet with warm water and cloth.
2) If there are any remains left, dry the helmet and remove any remaining contamination with rubber eraser.
※ Do not use any alcohol or thinner to clean the helmet because they may damage the paint.
2. Avoid oil contamination as it is extremely difficult to clean once exposed.
Interior Cleaning
Although we recommend changing a helmet every 3 to 5 years, the accumulation of sweat, humidity and dirt can deteriorate
the fabric and stitching and this may cause odor. To wash HJC removable pads, hand washing is recommended. If you use
a washing machine, please use on "Delicate" setting and air dry. HJC do not recommend using spin-dryer for the interior pads
as it may damage the material. For non-removable interiors, HJC recommends using anti-bacteria and mildew eliminating
products such as "Helmet Fresh." or other similar product.
Vent Cleaning
Dirt and debris can find its way into venting of your HJC helmet. Compressed air cans used for cleaning computer keyboards may
be used to blow the debris from the ventilation system. It is recommended that you remove any removable pads before doing this
process.
Shield Cleaning
The helmet shield is made of polycarbonate materials with a polyurethane abrasion resistance coating. It should be cleaned
using mild soap and warm water. Never use hot water, salt water, benzene, thinner, gasoline or any other harsh agents.
Additionally the use of commercial shield cleaners is not recommended because they may affect the quality of the shield
material. Treat carefully when cleaning the shield to preserve the abrasion resistant coating. When deep scratches are
visible, it is highly recommended that the helmet shield be replaced. Tinted shield are for "Day time use only" and are not
suitable for use at night or in conditions of poor visibility.
