USER MANUAL X661 EXTREME TITANTECH PURO NCOM Nolan

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.13 ENGLISH - 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. AINSTRUCTIONS FOR USE VISOR

1. Visor Disassembly

1.1. Open the visor completely. 1.2. Press and hold the visor release button (A) down and slide the visor forward until it clicks (Fig. 1). 1.3. Free the visor fastenings (B1 e B2) from their housing (Fig. 2). 1.4. Follow the same steps on the other side of the helmet.

2.1. Set the visor in open position by placing the visor fastenings (B1 and B2) in line with the housings in the visor mechanism (Fig. 2). 2.2. Insert fastening B1 in the provided housing and press the visor against the shell in line with fastening B2. This will push the visor release button. (A). 2.3. Slide the visor backwards until the visor release button (A) clicks. 2.4. Follow the same steps on the other side of the helmet. 2.5. Close the visor completely.

3. Visor Mechanism Adjustment

The visor mechanism is equipped with a visor clearance adjusting system that ensu- res that the visor is lowered effectively against the window trim. This is why the mechanism’s support has upper and lower reference teeth. The helmet is delivered with a correctly adjusted system. When using the helmet, regularly check that the visor adheres perfectly and is in line with the deformable lip of the window trim when it is lowered all the way. If this is not the case, proceed as follows: 3.1. Disassemble the visor (see instructions above) and check in which position of the upper reference C1 and lower reference C2 teeth the mechanism is loca- ted (Fig. 3). 3.2. Loosen the two screws D1 and D2 on the visor mechanism using a 2.5 mm Allen wrench. 3.3. Lift the mechanism from its support and move it forwards or backwards accor- ding to the adjustment to be made. Then lower the mechanism into its support so that the upper C1 and lower C2 adjustment teeth are in the same position. 3.4. Tighten both screws D1 and D2. 3.5. Follow the same steps on the other side of the helmet. 3.6. Assemble the visor (see instructions above) 3.7. Check contact between the visor and the trim. WARNING - Make sure that the mechanisms are working properly. Open and close the visor, making sure that the mechanisms hold it in the different positions. If necessary, repeat the above-mentioned steps. - Do not use the helmet if the visor has not been assembled properly. - Do not remove the side mechanisms from the shell. - Should any of the side mechanisms fail or be damaged, please refer to an X- Lite authorized dealer. 14DOUBLE ACTION The DOUBLE ACTION button in the neutral (central) position, as illustrated in Fig. 4A, does not affect the normal opening and closing functions of the visor. The following additional functions can be activated by using this button: Defogging Function While wearing the helmet, open the visor onto the first notch and press the DOUBLE ACTION button as shown in Fig. 4B. Now close the visor. In this position, the mechanism keeps the visor open to a minimum to improve the circulation of air and facilitate defogging, especially at low speeds or during short stops. To deactivate DOUBLE ACTION, press the button as shown in Fig. 4C bringing it back to the neutral position. Visor-Lock Function While wearing the helmet, close the visor and press the DOUBLE ACTION button as shown in Fig. 4C. In this position, the closing mechanism on the visor is strengthened so that the like- lihood of it accidentally opening will be reduced. To deactivate the visor-lock mechanism, press the button as shown in Fig. 4B brin- ging it back to the neutral position. WARNING - When using the helmet, it is recommended that you limit your use of the visor- lock function, since unexpected events may require you to open your visor immediately. - In the event of an emergency, the DOUBLE ACTION visor lock may be disa- bled by lifting the visor as normal, and pressing slightly harder than usual on the visor flap. (Available as standard or accessory/spare part).

Assembly 4.1. Disassemble the visor (see instructions above) 4.2. Make sure that the inner surface of the visor is clean and check that the pin adjustment external levers are turned inwards (Fig. 5). 4.3. Place the PINLOCK

inner visor on the visor.

WARNING: The silicone-sealed profile of the PINLOCK

inner visor must be in contact with the inner surface of the visor. 4.4. Insert one side of the PINLOCK

inner visor on one of the visor pins and hold it in position (Fig. 6). 4.5. Widen the visor and fasten the other side of the PINLOCK

inner visor to the second pin (Fig. 7). 4.6. Release the visor. 154.7. Remove the protective film from the PINLOCK

inner visor and check that the entire silicone-sealed profile of the inner visor adheres to the visor. 4.8. Fit the visor on the helmet (see instructions above). Checking and Adjusting the PINLOCK

inner visor assembly by opening and closing the visor and making sure that they do not move. If the PINLOCK

inner visor is not tightly fixed to the visor, move both external adju- stment levers upwards to increase the stretch (Fig. 5). This operation must be carried out gradually. The maximum stretch is achieved when the pin adjustment external levers are turned outwards WARNING - The presence of dust between the two visors may produce scratches on both surfaces. - Scratched PINLOCK

visors and inner visors may cause reduced visibility and must therefore be replaced. - Regularly check the correct stretch of the PINLOCK

inner visor to prevent the it from moving and scratching both surfaces. - If the helmet visor fogs up and/or condensation forms between the visors, check that the PINLOCK

inner visor is both correctly assembled and stret- ched. - An excessive and early stretch of the PINLOCK

inner visor may result in excessive adherence against the visor surface and/or permanent deformations with subsequent inability to correctly perform any following adjustments. - Intense sweating /breathing, the use under particular weather conditions (low temperatures, and/or high humidity and/or sudden changes in temperature and/or heavy rain) and/or intense and prolonged use may affect the performan- ce of the PINLOCK

inner visor and cause fogging or formation of condensa- tion. In such cases, after using the helmet and to restore the system efficien- cy, remove the PINLOCK

inner visor from the helmet visor and let it dry with dry and warm air. The same procedure must be applied to the helmet, in order to dry out humidity in case it has formed up as a consequence of the condi- tions described above.

Disassembly 5.1. Remove the visor equipped with the Pinlock

inner visor (see instructions above). 5.2. Widen the visor and release the Pinlock

inner visor from the pins (Fig. 7). 5.3. Release the visor. Maintenance and Cleaning - Remove the PINLOCK

inner visor from the visor. Using a damp and soft cloth, gently clean it with neutral liquid soap. Remove the soap under running water. - Dry the inner visor with dry and warm air without wiping it. - To keep the features of the inner visor in good conditions over time, let the hel- met dry in a ventilated and dry place with the visor open after use. Keep it 16away from heat sources and store it in a place away from direct light. - Do not use solvents or chemical products. VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) The exclusive inner VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) is a LEXAN™

polycarbo- nate moulded sunscreen with scratch-resistant/fog-resistant treatment. Very simple and practical to use. Just lower to activate it or lift 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. Moreover the innovative fastening system allows you to assemble and disassemble the sunscreen without the need for any tools for ordinary maintenance and cleaning operations. VPS Operation The VPS mechanism allows to activate the sunscreen 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. 8A). To completely activate the VPS push the side slider completely upwards (Fig. 8B). The VPS is adjustable in a range of intermediate positions to ensure the best com- fort for the user with respect to the terms of use. 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, when riding during the day under particularly bright weather conditions, e.g. very strong sunlight caused by high inten- sity and/or incidence of the sunbeams, the use of sunglasses - which have a tran- smittance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not absolutely neces- sary, to reduce eye fatigue on long trips. Sunglasses also reduce the risk of direct dazzling as opposed to the use of mere approved helmet visor. However, the use of sunglasses makes it difficult to perform emergency manoeuvres when the maximum visibility range of the 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 - Use the special slider to activate/deactivate the VPS; do not deactivate the VPS by handling it directly. - The VPS can only be used during the day and under the environmental condi- tions described before. - At night and/or in conditions of poor visibility, the VPS must be deactivated.

LEXAN is a trademark of SABIC.- Always check that the VPS is properly positioned according to different wea- ther/environmental conditions and/or the above-mentioned recommendations 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. - The VPS scratch resistant/fog-resistant treatment highly reduces fogging. Protracted periods of adverse weather and/or environmental conditions might cause fogging and/or formation of condensation on the VPS, which entails a reduction of visibility and/or sharpness of vision: in this case, deac- tivate the VPS. - In case of rain, the direct contact of raindrops with the scratch resistant/fog- resistant treated VPS quickly reduces sharpness of vision, thus causing scar- ce visibility: in this case, deactivate the VPS. - The special VPS fog-resistant treatment is usually sensitive to high tempera- tures or heat sources. In this case, contaminations caused by contact with other materials might occur. These contaminations will cause marks and stains to develop. In these cases (e.g. when the helmet is kept in the top case on hot days), it is recommended to make sure the visor is not touching other materials.

To remove the sun screen from the helmet, open the visor completely and lower the VPS by rotating the side slider completely upwards (Fig. 8B). Hold the left lateral part of the sun screen and pull it toward the outside of the hel- met (Fig. 9). Repeat the same operation on the right side of the helmet.

To assemble the sun screen on the helmet, open the visor completely and push the side slider completely upwards (Fig. 8B). Insert the sun screen left end into the left side guide until the grip pawl is hooked in shell housing (Fig. 9). Repeat the same operation on the right side of the helmet. WARNING - Make sure the VPS operates correctly by moving the left side slider dow- nwards (Fig. 8A) and upwards (Fig. 8B) until you hear the clicks meaning that it enters the relevant positions. If necessary, repeat the above-mentioned steps. - If the VPS opening/closing mechanisms are not working properly or if such mechanisms get damaged, please contact a X-Lite authorized dealer.

18- 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 WIND PROTECTOR (Available as standard or accessory/spare part). I This accessory allows improved helmet performance under certain conditions of use. The Wind Protector reduces unpleasant infiltrations of air under the chin. See Fig. 10 for assembly and disassembly.

REMOVABLE INNER COMFORT PADDING

Then repeat the same steps to remove the central flap as well as the right flap. 9.2. Hold the left front part of the liner and pull it upwards in order to remove the corresponding liner flap from the support fixed to the polystyrene inner shell (Fig. 14). Then repeat the same steps for the central front and right flap. 9.3. Completely remove the liner from the helmet.

10.1. Insert the liner correctly into the helmet and fit it well against the base. 10.2. Insert the left front flap of the liner into its seat on the support fixed to the poly- styrene inner shell and push it downwards until it is completely locked. Follow the same steps for the central and right flap (Fig. 14). NOTE: Check the correct assembly of the liner front area by lifting and lowe- ring the VPS. These movements should be smooth. If this is not the case, repe- at the steps 9.2 and 10.2. 10.3. Insert the rear right, central and left flaps of the liner into the relevant support 19seats in the helmet neck-ring area. Push the flaps until they are fully hooked onto the support (Fig. 13).

11. Cheek Pad Assembly

11.1. Insert the band and the left chin strap into the slot located in the padding of the left cheek pad. 11.2. Insert the rear flaps of the left cheek pad padding into the cavity between the polystyrene cheek pad and the outer shell (Fig. 12) and push them downwards until they are under the shell sealing edge. 11.3. Push the padding of the left cheek pad in line with the snap fasteners on its back in order to fasten them to their seats (Fig. 11). 11.4. Repeat these steps with the padding of the right cheek pad.

WARNING: the buttons are not hooked until a click is heard. Check that the strap

comes out properly from the cheek pad. WARNING - If your helmet is equipped with the double D-Ring retention system, pull it down as indicated in the attached double D-Ring label. - Remove the inner comfort padding only when cleaning or washing is required. - Never use the helmet if the inner comfort padding and the cheek pads have not been correctly and completely reassembled. - Delicately hand-wash in lukewarm water (max. 30° C) and neutral soap. - Rinse with cold water and allow drying at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. - Never machine-wash the inner comfort padding. - The inner polystyrene is an easily deformable material. It is apt to change or get partially destroyed to help absorb shocks. - Do not modify or alter the helmet’s internal polystyrene components in any way. - Clean the inner polystyrene components with a damp cloth only and allow it to dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight. - Never use tools or equipment of any sort to carry out the steps described above. VENTILATION SYSTEM The ventilation system of the X-661 helmet consists of: Upper Air Intakes: they allow conveying and distributing air into the shell. To open the upper air intakes, press on the back part of their button (Fig. 15); to close the upper air intakes, press on the front part of their button. Chin Guard Air Intake: allows conveying air in the mouth and visor area, to reduce visor fogging and formation of condensation. See Fig. 16 for how to open and close it. Rear Extractor: it is integrated in a rear spoiler and allows warm and stale air to flow out, ensuring optimum comfort inside the helmet (Fig. 17).
