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:

Irreparably damage the helmet;

Modify optical properties, reduce mechanical ones and weaken the visor protective treatment. Fig. A

VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) The exclusive inner VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) is a LEXAN™

- polycar- bonate moulded sunscreen with scratch-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. VPS Operation The VPS mechanism allows activating the sun screen 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 deac- tivated with a simple movement and easily lifted up to restore the normal conditions of visibility and protection guaranteed by the approved helmet visor. To deactivate the VPS, push the side slider completely downwards (Fig. 7 A). To activate the VPS, push the side slider completely upwards (Fig. 7 B). Precautions for Use The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the visor minimum light tran- smittance levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not less than 50% when riding during the day. For this reason, under particularly bright weather conditions, e.g. very strong sunlight caused by high intensity and/or incidence of the

LEXAN is a trademark of SABIC.sunbeams, the use of sunglasses - which entail a transmittance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not absolutely necessary. This in order to reduce eye fatigue on long trips. Sunglasses also reduce the risk of direct dazzling as oppo- sed to the use of mere approved helmet visors. However, the use of sunglasses makes it difficult to perform emergency manoeuvres when the maximum visibility range of the helmet visor must be quickly restored. Just think, for example, of what happens when you enter a tunnel or when unexpected changes in environmental bri- ghtness occur. Thanks to its operating mechanism, the VPS makes these operations much easier. WARNING - The VPS can be used only during the day and under the environmental condi- tions described before. - At night and/or in poor visibility conditions, the VPS must be deactivated. - Always check that the VPS is properly positioned according to the different weather/environmental conditions and/or to the above mentioned recommen- dations for use. - We recommend using the VPS only and solely together with the approved standard visor, which has a transmittance value greater than 80%. - The VPS does not replace the protection guaranteed by the visor. - Always make sure that the VPS is clean and that it is operating properly in order to avoid scratches and/or anomalous wear on it every time it is acti- vated. - As for VPS and visor maintenance and cleaning operations, please refer to the appropriate section in the helmet user’s manual.

To remove the sunscreen from the helmet, open the visor completely and lower the VPS by pushing the slider completely upwards (Fig. 7 B). Hold the left lateral part of the sun screen and pull it toward the outside of the hel- met (Fig. 8). Repeat the same operation on the right side of the helmet.

To remove the sunscreen, open the visor completely and push the slider completely upwards (Fig. 7 B). Insert the sun screen left end into the left side guide until the grip pawl is hooked in shell housing (Fig. 8).Repeat the same operation on the right side of the helmet. WARNING - Push the left side slider completely downwards (Fig. 7 A) and upwards (Fig. 7 B) to make sure that the VPS works properly. If necessary, repeat the above-men- tioned steps. - If the VPS opening/closing mechanisms are damaged or not working properly, please contact a Grex authorized dealer.

14- Do not use the helmet if the VPS has not been assembled properly.

- Since the VPS does not assure you the same protection as the one provided by the visor, it has to be used only when the helmet visor is lowered.
