F. FOR YOUR SAFETY
english
Never ride with an open or incorrectly adjusted chin strap! The
strap must not give or be slack when pulled. The lock is only
properly engaged when the chin strap has no slack.
Following a fall or accident or other forceful impact on the
helmet, the helmet’s full protective capacity can no longer be
guaranteed. As with the crumple zone of a car, the impact energy
of a collision is absorbed by the complete or partial destruction
of the outer and/or inner shell structure of the helmet. Because
of the design of the helmet, such damage is often not visible to
the naked eye. This helmet is designed to absorb the effect of
only one impact. The helmet must therefore always be replaced
after any fall, accident or other exposure to high forces. For safety
reasons, the old helmet should be rendered unusable.
The protection mechanism of the helmet described above can
cause small cracks in the shell even if the helmet is dropped from
a height of only one meter or less.
No helmet offers protection against all possible impacts. This
helmet has been specifically designed for use when motorcycling.
It is not suitable for any other purpose.
Depending on intensity of use and the care it is given, the helmet
should be replaced after 5-7 years. Although the outer shell is
suitable in principle for a longer period of use, we recommend
that, owing to the fatiguing and wear of the materials of other
components and of the overall system of the helmet’s functioning,
together with unknown framework conditions during use, you
replace the helmet after the time indicated above for your own
safety.
Exposure to intense heat (e.g. from exhausts) may damage the
finish, the inner shell and the internal elements!
Direct contact with fuels, solvents and thinners may damage the
structure of the inner and outer shells. Do not allow the helmet
to come into contact with such substances - not even for cleaning
purposes.
