moulds from forming.
See 10 _ Never use gasoline, benzene or other chemical products and solvents as they can impair the operation
and structure of some helmet components and weaken its protective features. For the same reason, we strongly
advise against painting the helmet, as the solvents in paints can damage the materials of the helmet. Never
modify the helmet (for example, drill holes or make cuts in the shell, press the polystyrene, cut the retention
system or internal parts) as this would weaken the structure and impair its protective properties. Always replace
components with AGV original spare parts: contact an AGV dealer if you are unsure how to carry out any op-
eration on the helmet.
See 11 _ Avoid all conduct or use of the helmet that could impair its performance:
- do not ride with the helmet fastened to the theft-prevention/helmet ring or to the saddle, to avoid knocks and
abrasions
- do not place the helmet on rear view mirror stems or on backrests to avoid damaging the padding
- do not sit on the helmet or place it on the ground
- do not leave the helmet in places such as the fuel tank or saddle of the bike, from which it could easily fall and
be damaged. For the same reason, keep the helmet away from children and animals, who could cause it to fall,
scratch or damage it.
- Do not remove structural parts of the helmet, such as the internal shell, strap or seals.
- Do not expose the helmet to strong sunlight.
N.B. Fluo colours are particularly delicate and sensitive to light: AGV does not guarantee the duration of
the quality of Fluo colours over time.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF VISOR AND PLASTIC PARTS
WARNINGS
The visor must been kept in excellent condition at all times to ensure perfect visibility. The
visor must be replaced immediately when it is scratched, damaged or cannot be cleaned
properly. In particular, visibility may be drastically reduced when a visor has scratches or
abrasions, especially in the rain or in the dark when encountering oncoming vehicles with
headlights on (See 12).
To clean the visor properly, remove it from the helmet and clean with a soft cloth and the
special AGV cleaner. Alternatively, use a soft cloth moistened in warm water: of the visor
is very dirty, a mild soap can be added to the water. Rinse the visor under running water
and dry it with a soft dry cloth. Both visor and helmet are much easier to clean, and better
results are obtained, if they are cleaned immediately after use.
Never use gasoline, benzene, glass cleaners or other chemical products and solvents, as they
can impair the quality of the visor
Never dry the visor on sources of heat
Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove dirt from the visor, as these could scratch it.
Do not apply stickers or adhesive tape to the visor
Follow the same instructions to clean plastic parts of the helmet, such as air vents and visor
mechanism. To remove dirt, dust or insects from parts that cannot be reached with a cloth,
try using compressed air. If there is any risk of soiling the inside of helmet during this oper-
ation remove all the padding, or cover it with newspaper to protect it
