In its extended position, the shield must cover the chin and
upper neck (see "Centring and donning position"). In addition,
the helmet and shield must be worn with other insulating protec-
tion equipment.
• To retract the shield, unlock it by pushing the red lever forward
and upwards until it stops.
ADJUSTING THE CHINSTRAP
The IDRA 2 helmet comes with a 4-point chinstrap equipped
with a retainer that can be fitted to wearer's head size.
The user must always adjust the helmet so that it can be
worn without discomfort while assuring a perfect helmet-
head fit to prevent accidental tipping or shifting, which
could adversely affect protection efficiency.
Warning: for your safety, the chinstrap is designed to automati-
cally release between 15 and 25 kg; the 4 anchor points should
not be under tensile stress.
BEFORE DAILY USE
Before each use, a careful visual inspection must be performed.
The inspection should concentrate on the various helmet
components: both shells and their retainers, internal harness,
and presence of shield and chinstrap. Moreover, the user must
verify the mechanical resistance of the components by oper-
ating the shield at least once.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• The helmet is designed so that the energy developed during
an impact is absorbed by the partial destruction or deteriora-
tion of the shell and the harness; even if such damage is not
immediately apparent, replace the helmet after a major
shock, on presence of cracks, scratches, or chemical
damage.
• The user's attention is also drawn to the risks inherent to the
modification or removal of any of the original helmet compo-

CAUTION
To preserve the elasticity of the shield
locking catch, it is imperative that the
shield always and exclusively rests in
either its retracted or extended position.
