The S1 PRO is available in six double helmet sizes. Refer to the following list for the helmet size that fi ts you: Head size in cm SCHUBERTH helmet sizes Alpha helmet sizes 52 to 53 52 / 53 XS 54 to 55 54 / 55 S 56 to 57 56 / 57 M 58 to 59 58 / 59 L 60 to 61 60 / 61 XL 62 to 63 62 / 63 XXL If your measured head size (e.g. 57.5 cm) is between two helmet sizes, we recommend trying the smaller size fi rst.

C. CHOOSING A HELMET THAT FITS PROPERLY Choosing the right helmet is very important. The helmet must fi t properly to give you the best protection if you fall off or are involved in an accident. Here’s how to choose a helmet that fi ts properly: Step 1: Measure your head size Step 2: Ascertain the right helmet size Step 3: Check that the helmet fi ts properly.

1. MEASURING YOUR HEAD SIZE

Measure your head size by placing a fl exible measuring tape around your head approximately one fi nger’s width (2 cm) above the eyebrows. This will give you the greatest circumference of your head. The measured value represents your head size in centimetres.61 english C. CHOOSING A HELMET THAT FITS PROPERLY

With the helmet on and the chinstrap fastened and properly adjusted (important: for chinstrap adjustment, see Section D.8. “Retention system”), check whether the helmet is the right size for you and fi ts properly. Step 1: Check that all pads of the interior lining press fi rmly against your head without being uncomfortable: a) Top centre pads b) Cheek pads c) Headband padding (especially in forehead area). If the pressure is uncomfortable or possibly even painful, try the next size up. Step 2: Check that the helmet gives you an adequate peripheral fi eld of vision. Lateral limitation of vision is normal with any helmet due to its design but it should not feel distracting or unduly restrict your vision. Step 3: Hold both sides of the helmet fi rmly with your hands and move the helmet up and down. Try also to rotate the helmet. You should be able to feel the helmet moving your head and the surface of your face. If it is too easy to move the helmet, it is too large! Try a smaller size.

Step 4: With the helmet on, take hold of the chin section of the helmet and try removing the helmet from your head in a backwards direction. If you can do that, the helmet is too large or the chinstrap adjusted too loosely (not pulled tight enough). For your own safety, use a smaller size or re-adjust the chinstrap as necessary. Step 5: With the helmet on, hold the back of the helmet with both hands and try tipping the helmet forwards over your head. If you can remove the helmet this way, either the chinstrap is adjusted too loosely (not pulled tight enough) or the helmet is too large. Re-adjust the chinstrap or choose a smaller helmet. Repeat these steps until you have found the right helmet size that fi ts properly. Ideally, confi rm your choice by going for a test ride. Caution: Never ride with a helmet that doesn’t fi t properly!63 english

The outer shell of the S1 PRO combines an aerodynamically optimal shape that is suitable for racing with thorough protection. It consists of a special glass fi bre reinforced, duroplastic matrix developed by Schuberth, which gives the helmet the high level of strength needed for your protection. Caution: The safety helmet is designed to absorb the effect of only one impact. The helmet must be replaced after a fall, accident or any other impact.

For optimised impact absorption properties, the inner shell of the helmet consists of several components. Complex multi-segment foam padding of the main body makes for better absorption and distribution of impact forces and gives you a high degree of protection. The large side sections ensure the helmet provides optimum fi t and the greatest comfort.

The S1 PRO conforms to the ECE-R 22.05 standard. This test standard guarantees conformity to defi ned safety standards in respect of impact absorption, penetration resistance, lateral rigidity, retention system and fi eld of vision. The approval guarantees that you have approval for all the countries of the European Union and all countries which recognise the ECE standard. It also guarantees conformity for insurance purposes in the event of a claim. Please note that this S1 PRO with ECE approval is specifi cally orientated to the ECE standard and is therefore particularly not approved for the USA or Canada. It is only legal to use it in countries where the ECE standard is valid. Note: The only SCHUBERTH helmets legal for use in the USA or Canada are those with appropriate approval and technical specifi catio. Further information and sales outlets for these helmets can be found on the Internet at: www.schuberth.com/usa www.schuberth.com/canada

Tip: To ensure the helmet is as quiet as possible, the fi t on the underside of the helmet is extremely important. This area needs to be well sealed off. If you have a narrow neck, it is advisable to use a scarf. ANTI-NOISE PAD (included) With the help of the supplied Anti-Noise-Pad, noise in the helmet can be further reduced. The pad is fi tted in a few easy steps.

1. Insert the rounded end of the Anti-Noise-Pad

under the lip of the wind defl ector.

2. Slip the outer edge of the Anti-Noise-Pad step-

by-step under the lip of the wind defl ector.

3. Feed the second insertion tab with gentle

pressure under the lip of the wind defl ector.

All SCHUBERTH motorcycle and racing helmets are developed and optimised in SCHUBERTH’s own wind tunnel under scientifi c, precisely defi ned conditions. The S1 PRO is specifi cally designed for a sporty riding posture and remains stable in the air current. Even when travelling at speeds above 200 kph, the S1 PRO generates practically no upward lift. Further characteristic features of the S1 PRO are improved air resistance, excellent directional stability and minimal lateral forces. In addition, the buffeting often experienced at high speed is signifi cantly reduced for unfaired motorcycles. Note: Please note that the strong eddy currents that can occur at the edges of the wind shadow on faired motorcycles owing to the body panels can have a considerable effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of a helmet.

Various measures developed in SCHUBERTH’s wind tunnel ensure an aeroacoustically comfortable helmet* with optimised acoustic feedback while travelling. This enables enhanced concentration, especially at speeds in the upper ranges.

• Aeroacoustic values can vary according to the type of motorcycle, bodywork design, riding position and body size. Note: Please note that on faired motorcycles strong eddy currents occur at the edges of the wind shadow. This can considerably reduce the aeroacoustic performance of the helmet. The fairing of the motorcycle should be adjusted so that the departing turbulence does not strike the bottom surface of the helmet. Aeroacoustically non-critical area Aeroacoustically non-critical area Aeroacoustically critical area67 english

3. Fold the strap over and fasten it with the press-stud to prevent the

end of the strap fl apping in the wind. Loosening and opening

1. Pull the little red tab of the double

D-ring fastener to loosen the chinstrap.

2. Take hold of the D-rings and pull

3. Pull the end of the chinstrap from

the Chinstrap with double D-ring fastener. Tip: If you are unfamiliar with the double D-ring type of fastener, we recommend using the fastener system when not wearing the helmet, then practicing its use with the helmet in place. Caution: Never ride without making sure the chinstrap is correctly fastened, adjusted to fi t and properly positioned. If the chinstrap is not correctly adjusted or fastened, the helmet could be displaced in the event of an accident. Caution: Never open the chinstrap while riding.

The retention system of the S1 PRO consists of a chinstrap that is additionally secured with neck bands at the back of the helmet shell (the anti-roll-off system, see section D.13.).

CHINSTRAP WITH DOUBLE D-RING FASTENER

The double D-ring fastener is easy to use and allows you to adjust the length of the chinstrap very precisely each time you put on the helmet. Fastening and tightening

1. Thread the end of the chinstrap through the double D-ring fastener

as illustrated in the adjacent diagram.

2. Tighten the chinstrap by pulling on the end of the strap. The

chinstrap should fi t fi rmly but comfortably against your chin. Tip: To check that the helmet sits as comfortably as possible, we recommend that, having put it on, you take hold of the helmet at the sides with both hands and swivel it slightly on your head till you fi nd the most comfortable positioning; now readjust the chinstrap accordingly.english

Opening the visor To open the visor, use your thumb to push the visor up, using one of the fi nger tabs situated to the left and right of the visor, and move it to the desired position. Alternatively, you can use your thumb to push under the bottom edge of the visor in the middle to release it from the spring element of the chin vent. You can then push the visor up to the desired position. Opening the visor when the chin vent is open automatically causes the vent to close. Visor lock (including city position) The visor can be locked in any one of eight positions. The second position (city position) locks more strongly. It is therefore easy to feel the city position of the visor – especially while riding. When you push the visor open, it may well travel beyond the city position, but it is easy to fi nd this position by moving it downwards again. The visor mechanism requires no additional lubrication. The visor can be operated at any time irrespective of the position of the sun visor. Closing the visor You can close the visor by grasping the fi nger tabs at top left and right and pushing them down with a movement of the hand.

visor is a mist-free double shield visor in which the conventional anti-fog coating on the visor’s inner surface is replaced by an integrated second visor shield. The two visor shields are separated from each other and sealed by a transparent, fl exible silicon seal. The inner visor shield is locked in place by means of eccentric pins, so the two visor shields are pretensioned to each other and the silicone seal is thus made tight. This in turn results in an insulated cushion of air between visor’s main – i.e. outer – and inner shields which prevents any misting of the inner shield. COATING The main visor shield has a HighClear

anti-scratch coating on both its outer and inner surfaces. The Pinlock

inner shield, on the other hand, has an anti-fog coating on both its surfaces and so is only scratch resistant to a limited degree. Caution: When not in use, the helmet should never be used to deposit gloves or any other objects since the scratch-sensitive inner visor shield could otherwise be damaged. Caution: The inner visor shield is fi tted with a protective foil to prevent any damage in transit. Remove this foil before using the helmet for the fi rst time. Caution: The Pinlock

inner visor shield may only be used in conjunction with the SCHUBERTH main visor that has been specially designed for this purpose. Do not on any account fi t the Pinlock

inner visor to any other visor. This also expressly applies to other visor variants.english

Fitting a new visor shield

1. Insert the pivot peg of the visor into the

recess provided for it in the visor mechanism and position the T-peg directly below the locking elbow.

2. By applying light pressure to the visor

both upwards and towards the helmet, the locking elbow will slide upwards and you should hear the T-peg of the visor click into place.

3. Repeat the above steps for the other

4. Close the visor and check that the

locking mechanism is working properly.

Changing the visor screen is easy to do without tools with the convenient EasyChange visor mechanism. To replace the visor, it is helpful to place the helmet on a fl at surface or on your thighs while seated. Removing the visor shield

1. Fully open the visor; this exposes

the operating lever lying on top of the notch plate that locates the visor.

2. With the thumb, move the

operating lever in the direction of the arrow.

3. The T-pegs of the visor are

released and the visor then springs out of its holder.

4. Repeat the above steps for

Removing the inner visor shield

1. Before starting to remove the visor’s

inner shield, fi rst lay the visor on a soft, clean piece of cloth so that its top edge is facing you.

2. For the purposes of reducing the

pretensioning of the inner shield slightly if necessary, you can use the balls of your hands to carefully bend the visor suffi ciently apart while at the same time pressing with your thumbs so that the inner shield becomes released and moves approx. 2-3 mm forward.

3. Now grasp behind the inner shield with

your index and middle fi ngers and lift it off the outer shield. In this position you can now easily remove the inner shield from the locking pin with your thumb.

4. You can now remove the inner shield

from the visor. Fitting an inner visor shield

1. Lay the inner shield in the main visor

in such a way that one side of it is already slotted into the locking pin and the silicone sealing is on the side facing the outer visor shield.

2. Now grasp the other side of the inner

visor shield by its upper and lower transverse edges and use your index fi nger to gently press the end of the inner shield into a light ”S” form. Now you can easily guide the slot onto the locking pin and release the inner shield.

3. The inner shield should now be

positioned in the main visor with its lower edge parallel to the lower edge of the main visor. If you need to change the positioning of the inner shield, use the balls of your hands to gently bend the visor apart until the inner shield can be shifted accordingly.

4. Check right around the visor to make

sure that the silicone seal fi ts tightly and uniformly against the outer shield. It is only if it does that the visor can be guaranteed to prevent misting.

5. If you have not done so already,

remove the protective foil from the inner visor shield. Any lack of airtightness accordingly leading to misting of the visor either means that the inner shield is incorrectly positioned or the pressure on the seal is inadequate. You can regulate the pressure on the seal by adjusting the eccentric locking pins. To do so, remove the inner visor shield, then use a fl at but not sharp-edged object to carefully press the locking pins out of the outer shield. Now adjust these pins by rotating them by up to 180° and then reinsert them. Then fi t the inner shield and check that the sealing is now airtight. D. THE HELMETenglish

shields are completely dry (we recommend air-drying). If you should subsequently detect any renewed penetration of moisture, the Pinlock

visor should on no account be used anymore and must be replaced. SAFETY ADVIVE Check before each journey that the visor mechanism is functioning correctly and that the visor will guarantee good visibility. Any dirt should be removed before setting off. Check the visor and sunshield for physical damage and cracks. Severely scratched or matt visor shields will seriously impair visibility and should be replaced before setting out on a journey. Caution: Petrol, solvent and propellant vapours can cause cracking of the visor. Make sure the visor is not exposed to such vapours! On account of that, you should never place the helmet on your bike’s tank of you bike.

• To avoid any scratching of the visor, never remove or fi t the inner shield unless the visor unit is clean and dry.

• When fi tting the inner shield, be careful to ensure that neither dust nor moisture are able to get into the space between the two visor shields.

• When removing or fi tting the inner shield, it is always best to lay the visor unit on a dry, clean piece of cloth.

• Check regularly to make sure that the fi t of the silicone seal between the outer and inner visor shields is tight and even. Please note: In view of the high degrees of air pressure acting on the silicone seal when travelling with an open visor, we recommend riding with a closed visor at all times to prevent any dirt or moisture from getting inside the helmet. Please note: Never press the locking pins out with your fi ngers since the locking pins could otherwise break. Caution: Due to the double shield visor’s structure, there is a possibility of greater light refl ection in the visor, especially when riding at night. As a rule, such light refl ection is regarded as uncritical due to the absence of misting with this type of visor. However, if this light refl ection should nevertheless cause you diffi culties as result of higher individual sensitivity, for example, you should refrain from using the double visor anymore. Caution: In the event that any moisture might be present in or penetrate the airtight zone between the two visor shields you should then remove the inner shield immediately in order to prevent any interference with visibility. Do not re-install it until both visorenglish

Caution: Riding without the visor or with an open visor can result in injury to the eyes and face through stones, dust, insects and other fl ying objects. The sun visor, when lowered, will provide a certain amount of protection from light impact from stones or insects but cannot protect from all hazards.

REPLACING THE SUN VISOR

The sun visor can be replaced without tools. Tip: To avoid fi ngerprints and scratches, use a soft, clean cloth (we recommend a microfi bre cloth) to hold the sun visor when removing or fi tting it. Removing the sun visor

1. Pivot the sun visor down.

2. Firstly pull the sun visor down far enough so that you can see its

top edge, then pull the ends of the visor from its mounting at left and right.

Shield The sun visor shield has a grey tint and is heat formed in 3 dimensions. Due to the visor thickness of 1.5 mm, the sun visor still gives protection from light impact from stones and insects when the main visor is pivoted up. In addition, the UV-absorbing properties of the special polycarbonate mean that the sun visor provides effective protection against UV radiation. Coating The shield is scratch-resistant on both sides and has HighClear

anti- fog coating. Operation The sun visor is operated by means of the slide positioned on the left of the chin sectionThis is easy to do even when wearing gloves. Moving the slide forward lowers the visor, moving it back makes the visor disappear into the inner shell of the helmet. The sun visor snaps in place at both end positions to prevent it moving up or down as a result of vibration on bumpy stretches. The sun visor can be operated irrespective of the position of the main visor. Note: Only use the slide to operate the sun visor. Caution: Never ride in darkness or conditions of poor visibility with the sun visor down. Always raise the sun visor before entering a tunnel.english

Fitting the sun visor

1. Position the sun visor holders on the helmet (on the left with the

sun visor slide) so that you can see the mounting sockets for the sun visor.

2. Carefully insert one end of the sun visor (with snap connector) into

the corresponding mounting socket of the helmet, then push with appropriate pressure so that you feel and hear it snap in place. Repeat this with the other side.

3. Retract the sun visor between helmet outer and inner shell and

lower it with the operating slide.

4. Check that sun visor mechanism is operating correctly.

Tip: The sun visor was developed so that it can also be fi tted with the straight edge at the bottom. Since one person’s vision differs from another, this adaption can be more practical and comfortable for your own sense of vision. Tip: To suit the respective light conditions, a lighter version of the sun visor with 60% brown tint is available as an optional extra in addition to the standard visor with 80% grey tint.

The two-colour, exchangeable interior lining of the S1 PRO guarantees both an excellent fi t (through the MaxFit

interior concept) and better ventilation. The headband padding ensures that the helmet fi ts comfortably all around the head; there are three colour contrasted head pads for cushioning the head that leave the ventilation ducts uncovered (see also section D.12. ”Ventilation systems – head ventilation”). Head pads and headbands of varying thickness allow individual adjustment within one helmet size. The interior lining is made with materials that are kind to the skin (especially where it comes into direct contact with the head). The principal material used is a soft, breathable Coolmax

fabric with very good warmth and moisture-transporting properties. The head pads are made from a special anti-bacterial, perspiration-absorbing material. Removing and fi tting Headband and pads are fi xed to the inner shell with Velcro and can be removed by careful pulling. Make sure the headband is positioned centrally when re-fi tting it. To help you with this, the headband is identifi ed with two small notches and the inner shell with two protruding lines at the centre positions at front and back.english

Ventilation device 1 – visor setting The S1 PRO has a visor that can be adjusted to several positions. Depending on your road speed and tendency of the visor to mist up, open the visor suffi ciently wide to stop it misting up but so that it still protects your eyes from excessive draft. The fi rst lock-in position (city position) provides a gap of around 10 mm; this strengthened lock-in position ensures that the gap remains open even at speeds in the upper ranges. Ventilation device 2 - inlet vent in chin area (visor ventilation) To ventilate the visor, the S1 PRO is provided with a vent in the chin area. Irrespective of riding posture, around 80-90% of the air in the central airstream fl ows exactly into the inlet of the vent. A defl ector ensures that the air current ventilates the visor shield effectively even at low road speeds. You can open the inlet vent by pressing the lower part of the ventilation element or close it by pressing the upper part. Ventilation 3 – air vent Three air inlet cowls for ventilating the surface of the head are located on the top of the helmet shell. Air entering via these cowls is effectively directed through ducts to the top of the head. In the interior space of the helmet, the innovative padding system (consisting of headband and cushioning pads) enables direct contact between incoming air and the surface of the head, which causes heat

Tip: When fi tting the headband, we recommend starting at the visor cut-out, fi xing it at the back of the helmet inner shell, then lining the sides last. Caution: Never ride with parts of the interior lining removed. Caution: Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the interior lining! Note: To avoid damage to the interior lining and inner shell, do not hang the helmet over the mirrors or handlebar grip. Tip: Should you require individual modifi cation of the comfort padding, contact your authorised dealer. Adjustments to the helmet can only be carried out within the bounds of the ECE-R 22 standard and at a charge (see also Section J.1. “Special adaptions”).english

Anti-Roll-Off System (A.R.O.S.) The Anti-Roll-Off System specially developed by SCHUBERTH and provided as a safety feature in every SCHUBERTH motorcycle helmet, ensures – provided the chinstrap is closed and correctly adjusted – that a) the helmet cannot pivot off the head from behind b) due to the small angle of tilt, the risk of contact between the chin section of the helmet and the chin or neck of the rider is minimised and c) the consequences of the helmet contacting the chest cavity as the result of an accident are reduced. Refl ective surfaces The two large black refl ective safety panels below the visor to left and right also contribute to the characteristic design of the S1 PRO. Together with the silver refl ective material on the side zones at the back of the neck pad, this makes the rider more noticeable on the road – especially when visibility is poor. In the case of single-colour helmets without graphics, the SCHUBERTH logos on the front and back of the helmet are made of refl ective foil.

Note: Keep the safety refl ective areas clean. Note: When riding in France, local law requires that further refl ective safety stickers be attached at front and back as well as on both sides of the helmet.

to be more quickly picked up and taken away from the interior through outlet holes on the back of the helmet and in the neck area. The air inlet cowls also act as a sliding control valve for the head ventilation system. Open the vent by sliding the inlet cowl backwards. You can vary the intensity of the head ventilation by using more or fewer of the inlet cowls The vent is closed when the cowls are in the forward position. Ventilation device 4 – interior air extraction The S1 PRO is equipped with a constant air extraction system. Air inside the helmet or fl owing in through the head vent is directed through the air outlet channels in the inner shell and out of the helmet via the special netting material inserted in the neck pad as well as the outlet vents. The reduced pressure around the back of the neck ensures constant extraction of interior air – even when the air inlet scoops are closed – and thus guarantees a pleasant climate inside the helmet. Ventilation device 5 – minimum level of fresh air The special shaping of the chin vent’s upper zone provides the helmet with a guaranteed minimum ventilation function that ensures a constant supply of fresh air. The air entering by these means is regulated so that the rider barely notices it, but so that it guarantees an effective supply of fresh air from a speed as low as 30 kph (provided the helmet is fully in the air fl ow when travelling). This function counteracts any build-up of misting on the visor plate and any excessive concentration of C0

even when the helmet is fully closed. Refl ective foil Refl ective eyes Refl ective foil Refl ective paddingenglish

For your safety, check the following points before every journey:

1. CHECKING THE HELMET

Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superfi cial scratches will not impair the protective function of your helmet. In the case of more serious damage (cracks, dents, fl aking and cracking paint, etc.), the helmet should no longer be used. Note: If your body weight has dropped signifi cantly, you should check that your helmet is still the right size for you (see Section C.3.).

2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP (with helmet on and fastened)

1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.

2. Slip your index fi nger under the chinstrap and pull.

- If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is adjusted too long and needs to be tightened. - If pulling with your index fi nger loosens the chinstrap, it’s not properly fastened! Completely undo the chinstrap and try fastening it again. Repeat the test.

3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it is fi rmly against

the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you (see Section C.3.). E. PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF THE HELMET

Note: See section D.8. for operation of the chinstrap / fastener system.

1. Open the chinstrap. Make sure the sun visor is retracted into the

2. Take the lower ends of the chinstrap and pull these apart.

3. It will now be easy to put the helmet on.

4. To fasten the chinstrap, thread its free end through the double

D-ring fastener, pull tight and fasten(for operation of the double D-ring fastener, please refer to Chapter D.8., Retention system).

5. Make sure the chinstrap passes under the chin and fi ts fi rmly.

Note: Check regularly that the chinstrap is correctly positioned and adjusted to the correct length (see Section F.2.).

2. TAKING THE HELMET OFF

1. To open the chinstrap, pull the red lug of the double D-ring fastener

and withdraw the chinstrap through the metal eyes.

2. Grasp the ends of the chinstrap and pull the chinstrap ends apart.

3. The helmet can now be removed easily from the head.

Tip: To avoid scratching any objects you might place the helmet on, we recommend closing the chinstrap again after you have taken the helmet off.english

Never ride without a helmet! Motorcycling is associated with particular risks and dangers for the rider and passenger. These risks and dangers can be reduced, but not eliminated completely, by wearing a helmet. It is impossible to state precisely what the protective effect of a helmet will be in the event of an accident. Safe riding techniques, modifi ed for the particular road and weather conditions, are essential for your safety. Make sure your helmet is always correctly positioned and fi ts your head. To provide adequate protection, the helmet must fi t well and be securely fastened. Always fasten the chinstrap before setting off and check the fastening system and strap for correct position! Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted! The chinstrap must be correctly positioned and must not come loose when pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when pulled. The full protective function of a helmet can no longer be guaranteed after an accident or impact to it! Like the crumple zone of a car, the impact energy of a collision is absorbed by complete or partial destruction of the structure of the outer and/or inner shell of the helmet. Because of the way helmets are designed, this damage is rarely visible to the observer. The safety helmet is designed to absorb only one impact. It is therefore essential to replace the helmet after a fall, accident or other violent impact. For safety reasons, the old helmet should be rendered unusable.

Note: Repeat the test after each correction. Caution: Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted! The chinstrap should fi t correctly and should not become loose when pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when pulled.

3. CHECKING THE VISOR AND SUN VISOR

Before every journey, check that the mechanisms of the visor and sun visor are working properly and that the visor or sun visor will provide suffi ciently good visibility. Any dirt should be removed before riding (for instructions on care, see Section H.2.). Check the visor and sun visor for physical damage and cracks. A heavily scratched visor will considerably impair your vision and should be replaced before setting off on a journey. Caution: Never use tinted visors in conditions of poor visibility or when riding at night or in a tunnel. Caution: A scratched and/or dirty visor will seriously impair visibility. For your own safety, replace it or clean it immediately. Caution: Make sure the visor is always in perfect condition. A damaged visor is not suitable for riding and needs to be replaced. Caution: Stop riding when visibility is poor.english

The helmet safety mechanism described above can also cause small cracks in the shell when the helmet is dropped from a low height (less than 1 metre). Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact should be replaced! No helmet provides absolute protection from all conceivable impacts. This helmet has been specially developed for motorcycle riding and is unsuitable for other purposes. Examine the helmet regularly for damage. Small scratches will not impair the protective function of your helmet. The helmet should be replaced after 5 to 7 years, depending on use and care. Although the outer shell is in principle capable of a longer service life, the occurrence of material fatigue and wear to other components as well as the overall action of the helmet and the unknown conditions in which the helmet has been used, make it advisable for your own safety to replace the helmet after the aforementioned period of use. Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to graphics, the inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining! Direct contact with motor fuel, thinners or solvents can destroy the structure of the inner and outer shell. Make sure the helmet does not come into contact with such substances, even for cleaning purposes.

The protective fi lm fastened to the visor with special adhesive dots to protect it from scratches in transit should be removed before use. A scratched and/or dirty visor or sun visor considerably impairs visibility – especially at night or when riding into the sun – and increases the risk of an accident. For your own safety, replace or clean the visor immediately. Never use a tinted visor in conditions of poor visibility or at night or in a tunnel! Benzene, solvent and fuel vapour can cause cracks on the visor. Keep the visor away from such vapours and do not allow these kinds of substances to come into direct contact with the visor! For that reason, never place the helmet on the tank of your motorcycle. Make sure the visor is always in perfect condition. Don’t ride when visibility is poor!

3. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS /

ACCESSORIES Original parts (especially on the outer shell, inner shell and retention system) should not be modifi ed or removed. The fi tting of non-genuine, non-recommended parts can partially or completely counteract the protective function of the helmet and invalidate the ECE approval together with all guarantee and insurance rights. Use only original parts, replacement parts and accessories that SCHUBERTH has expressly approved for your helmet!english

VISOR SHIELD, CLEAR (optional) Outer surface of visor Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dirt from the outside of the visor. Use a lint-free cloth to dry the visor. Inside surface of the visor The inside surface of the visor should only be cleaned with a soft and, if necessary, slightly damp cloth (we recommend a microfi bre cloth). Do not use any cleaning agents for this. To protect the anti-fog coating, avoid vigorous rubbing. Applicable to all visors: Note: After intensive cleaning, riding in the rain or long journeys in cold weather, the anti-fog coating takes a little time to become completely effective again. During this time, the coating is unable to absorb much or any moisture from your breath. You can accelerate recovery of the coating’s anti-fog property by placing the helmet in a dry, well-ventilated place. Note: Use only lukewarm water for cleaning. Never on any account clean the outer visor or sun visor with petrol, solvent or a window or glass cleaner or other alcohol-containing cleaning agents. Note: To protect the anti-fog coating, avoid vigorous rubbing. Note: Never apply anti-fog gel, spray or similar substances to the active anti-fog coating. This can cause undesirable reactions and even irreparable damage to the coating.

To clean the helmet shell, you can use water, soapy water or one of the commonly available motorcycle shampoos, cleaners, polishes and plastic cleaners, or cleaning fl uid. The use of water and soapy water is usually suffi cient. Make sure when using the other cleaning materials that these do not come into contact with the visor, since these can cause damage to the visor and coating. Note: Never use motor fuel, thinners or solvents to clean the helmet. These substances can cause serious damage to the helmet with no externally visible indication. The full safety function of the helmet is then no longer guaranteed.

VISOR Outer surface of visor Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dirt from the outside of the visor. Use a lint-free cloth to dry the visor. Inside surface of the visor The inside surface of the visor should only be cleaned with a soft and, if necessary, slightly damp cloth (we recommend a microfi bre cloth). Do not use any cleaning agents for this. SUN VISOR The sun visor should only be cleaned with a soft and, if necessary, slightly damp cloth (we recommend a microfi bre cloth). Do not use any cleaning agents for this. To protect the anti-fog coating, avoid vigorous rubbing.english

Tip: A milky coating that may occur after a long period of non- use (through reaction of the active anti-fog coating with the environment) is most easily removed with a dry microfi bre cloth. Tip: Stubborn dirt on the outer surface of the visor (e.g. dried-on insect remains) can be easily removed by covering the closed visor with a moist to wet cloth and allowing the dirt to soften for around 1/2 to 1 hour. Note: The visor should not be stored in a place where the temperature is above 60 °C since this will cause damage to the visor.

Note: The active anti-fog coating is subject to an ageing process, the rate of which depends on the intensity of use and the environmental conditions. For your own safety, we recommend replacing the visor shield or sun visor if the anti-fog effect starts to deteriorate signifi cantly. Note: The active anti-fog coating will also absorb chemical substances such as solvents and can be damaged by them. Therefore, avoid storing the visor in the vicinity of aggressive substances such as motor fuels or solvents. Note: Even moist lens cloths are often unsuitable for cleaning the visor – despite recommendations to the contrary – since the substances they contain are incompatible with the anti-scratch and anti-fog coating. Avoid using these cloths. Note: Do not soak the visor in water (i.e. to soften heavy dirt) as this can signifi cantly reduce the surface hardness and thus the resistance of the anti-fog coating. Note: Avoid closing the visor fully when the helmet is not in use (especially in storage) since any moisture inside the helmet cannot escape and will be absorbed by the anti-fog coating to a greater extent than normal. This can reduce the service life of the coating. The best method is to lock the visor open in the 2nd locking position above the town-riding position. Note: Never attach labels, adhesive tape or stickers to the visor or sun visor.english

5. STORING THE HELMET

When not in use, keep the helmet in the supplied helmet bag in a dry, safe place. For better ventilation and protection of the anti-fog coating, make sure the visor is not fully closed, but is locked in at least the second locking position above the town-riding position. Always store the helmet so that there is no risk of it falling onto the fl oor. Damage caused this way is not covered by the guarantee. Note: Store the helmet out of reach of children and animals.

Replaceable parts of the interior lining The head pads and headband can be washed by hand using mild soapy water (e.g. any very diluted, normal mild detergent) at a maximum of 30 °C. Allow the damp interior lining to dry at room temperature and with good ventilation. Tip: If required (e.g. during a break in a journey), the headband can be hung out to dry over the mirror. Non-replaceable parts of the interior lining Use a mild, lukewarm soap solution (e.g. any very diluted, normal mild detergent can be used) to clean the interior lining. Carefully apply the soap solution with a damp sponge or cloth by dabbing or gentle rubbing. The inner padding should not be soaked with water. Remove the soap solution from the padding by pressing a dry, absorbent cloth on it. Repeat this process with clear water. Afterwards, allow the interior padding to dry in a well-ventilated place.

Caution: The installation of a communication system (including basic headsets) constitutes a modifi cation of the helmet. For this reason it is necessary for such a communication system and headset destined for installation into a helmet model to be tested and approved in line with the ECE-R 22.05 standard, otherwise the helmet’s approval and insurance conformity become invalid on installation of an unapproved system. Substantiation of approval in line with ECE-R 22.05 in connection with a special communication system is only valid if certifi ed by an offi cial regulatory offi ce of an EU member state. Any other form of information from these or other institutions (e.g. on the general suitability of communication systems for use in motorcycle helmets) is of no relevance and the helmet loses its approval.
