SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

CONGRATULATIONS... for the purchase of your new helmet. This helmet has been designed and created to be a modern, high performing product, able to satisfy the most demanding requests as for safety and comfort. This is made pos- sible by the helmet design, its ergonomic, comfort and aerodynamic properties as well as its practical and easy-to-use controls.

SAFETY AND NORMS OF USE

IMPORTANT - Before using the helmet read this booklet and all enclosed documents carefully, in that they contain very important indications on how to use the helmet easily and safely. - Failure to observe these instructions may reduce the protection provided by the helmet and consequently put your safety at risk.

- The helmet has been specifically designed for motorcycle and motorbike use therefo- re it must not be used for other purposes (or uses or scopes). Equal protection is not guaranteed for any use different from the intended one. - In case of accident, the helmet represents a protective element, which reduces injuries and head damage. This notwithstanding, it cannot alone prevent serious and/or fatal injuries due to the specific accident dynamics, therefore drive carefully. - When driving any motorcycle, always wear the helmet properly fastened in order to fully exploit its protection. - Never wear scarves under the fastening system nor caps of any sort under the helmet. - The helmet can muffle traffic noises. However make sure that you can hear essential sounds such as horns and emergency vehicle sirens. - Always keep the helmet away from heat sources like the exhaust muffler, the bag seat or the interior of a vehicle. - Do not modify nor damage the helmet or part of it for whatsoever reason. Use only ori- ginal accessories and/or spare parts suitable for your specific helmet model. - Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible; helmets, which received vio- lent impacts, are to be replaced. - In case of doubt about the helmet integrity and safety, avoid using it and contact an authorized dealer to let it check.

Size - In order to determine the correct helmet size, try on helmets of different sizes and choose the one which suits best the shape of your head and which you feel firm once worn and fastened, thus ensuring a great comfort. - Should the helmet be too big, it may slide down covering the eyes or turn slowly to the side while riding. - Keep it on for a few minutes and make sure there are no points of extreme pressure that may cause pain or headache. Taking off the helmet - With the helmet on and the strap securely fastened, try to take the helmet off as shown in Fig. A. In case of accident the different forces at stake and their various directions may result in helmet rotations or they may even cause the helmet to slip off if it is not securely fastened.- The helmet should not rotate nor move on the head and should not slide off. Should the contrary happen, adjust strap length or change helmet size. Repeat test. Retention System - The retention system (strap) is factory-adjusted at a standard length. Before use, check that it is correctly pre-adjusted. - Make sure the strap is properly fastened and tightened so as to keep the helmet firmly in place. Anyway, before riding, make sure that the strap is well fastened under the chin, as close as possible to the throat, but without being uncomfortable. - The correct strap tension should allow normal breathing and swallowing, but without leaving the space of a finger between strap and throat. - Attention: the button which may be present on the strap only prevents its end from flapping once the strap has been fastened properly. VISOR - If the visor is damaged or deeply scratched causing reduced visibility, this means that the protective treatment is probably damaged so the visor is to be replaced. - The visor can be used only for the intended helmet model. - Do not paint nor apply stickers.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

- Damage resulting from accidental fall may not be visible; helmets, which received violent impacts, are to be replaced. - Attention: Helmet and visor may be seriously damaged by some common substances without the damage being however visible. Use only lukewarm water and mild soap to clean helmet and visor, and then let them dry at room temperature away from sunrays and/or heat sources. - Attention: Never use petrol, thinner, benzene, solvents nor other chemicals which may:
