This product is a motorcycle helmet.

Do not use it for any other purpose than riding a motorcycle. If you use the helmet for anything else, it may not provide sufﬁcient protection in an accident.

No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible impact scenarios.

For maximum protection, the Sena Cavalry Bluetooth Half Helmet must ﬁt properly on the head and its retention strap securely fastened under the chin. With the retention system comfortably but ﬁrmly adjusted, the helmet should allow sufﬁcient peripheral vision when secured. If the helmet is too large, it may move on your head while riding. If the helmet can be moved when pulled from the back

in an upward and forward direction, it’s not ﬁtted properly. This could cause the helmet to obstruct your vision while riding or come off in an accident, resulting in personal injury or death. Please refer to Section 1.3: “Wearing the Helmet” for more details about properly securing and wearing your helmet.

1.4.1 Checking the Exterior

Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small, superﬁcial scratches will not impair the helmet’s protective qualities. In the case of more serious damage (cracks, dents, ﬂaking and cracking paint, etc.), the helmet should no longer be used.

1.4.2 Checking the Chinstrap

1. Ensure that the chinstrap is properly routed under your chin.

2. To test chinstrap tension, slip your index ﬁnger under the chinstrap and pull. If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it needs to be tightened. If the chinstrap loosens when you pull on it, the helmet is not properly ﬁtted. Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it again, then repeat the test.

3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it ﬁts ﬁrmly against the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you.

Note: Repeat the test after each adjustment.
