Thank you for choosing a SHARK Nano/ SHARK Raw helmet. The SHARK Nano / SHARK Raw
is a top-quality helmet that is ideal for use for urban and extra urban area.
The helmet complies with international standards but does not purport to guarantee total protec-
tion in all circumstances.
Make sure you carefully read all of the following recommendations before using the helmet. Just
because you are wearing a helmet does not mean you should neglect driving carefully.
Standard: This SHARK Nano/ SHARK Raw helmet has been approved and conforms to the ECE R
22/05 standard. It therefore meets the requirements imposed on all the countries that recognise
this standard in their territory.
Warning : for French traffic, the Highway Code requires safety reflectors (supplied
separately in a packet) to be fitted in accordance with the enclosed plan. In the United
States and Canada, specific regulations require that helmets that only have ECE approval
cannot be used in these territories unless they have acquired additional DOT FMVSS 218
approval.

A HELMETS IN YOUR SIZE
For a helmet to provide effective protection while
remaining comfortable, it has to be perfectly
suited to its user.
Choosing the correct size is essential.
• Measure the circumference of your head with
a tape measure, positioning it about 2 cm above
your eyebrows: this is where your head is the
largest. Once you have taken this measurement,
compare it to the table of sizes. Try the size of
SHARK Nano and SHARK Raw helmet closest
to the measurement obtained, starting with
the size smaller than your head measurement.
If you feel that the contact is too hard, try the
size larger.
Your head should be held quite firmly but you
should feel no discomfort.
• Tests for size must be carried out with the
chin strap tightened (please refer to the section
on page 6-7 for instructions on tightening the
chin strap). Check that you have good vertical
and horizontal visibility.
Check that your head can carry out all of these
movements without any particular discomfort.
• Check that when the chin strap is tightened,
the helmet cannot be removed from your head
when you try to move it forward by force. If the
helmet comes off or nearly comes off, it is too
big or else the chin strap is not correctly tightened. Keep trying on helmets until you find the
ideal size.
WARNING: do not lend your helmet, even for
a short journey, if its size is not perfectly
suitable. For each use of your helmet, it is
absolutely necessary to make sure that the
helmet is well positioned on your head, and
that the chin strap is properly adjusted, following the instructions of this manual (see
page 6-7).

ADVISE FOR USE
1/ Putting on the helmet
Once the chin strap is released, you have to
take hold of the two sections by the buckles and
hold them slightly apart to facilitate the passage
of your head. While carrying out this movement,
you are advised to keep the two sections of the
chin strap apart with your thumbs so that they
are properly positioned. Position the protective
parts of the chin strap buckle correctly and fasten it in accordance with the recommendations
that are appropriate to the versions and country
(see page 6-7).
Check that the tension and therefore the positioning of the helmet are correct for all positions.
2/ Removing the helmet
Release the chin strap; hold the two sections
slightly apart as for putting the helmet on and
remove the helmet.
CHIN STRAP MICROMETRIC BUCKLE
A
B
CHIN STRAP Micrometric buckle
Holding system
Depending on the various versions and the
country concerned, your SHARK Nano / SHARK
Raw helmet is equipped with a chin strap with
a “Precise Lock” rapid buckle with a snap lock.
The “Precise Lock” snap lock system gives you
precise and accurate adjustment because of
the considerable length of its notched section.
However, it is essential on purchase to adapt
the length of the chin strap to your measurements.
Adjust the length of the strap using the adjusting buckle (Figs. A, B, C and D).
Page 7

CHIN STRAP MICROMETRIC BUCKLE
C
D
E
Choose your SHARK Nano or SHARK Raw and
attach the holding system. When the “Precise
Lock” is adjusted to the medium position, the chin
strap must be correctly tensioned under the chin
to hold the helmet firmly without causing you any
discomfort or pain.
To fasten the chin strap, all you have to do is to
thread the tongue into its place on the buckle until
tension is perfect (Fig. B).
The tongue connects and is automatically blocked.
To release the chin strap, you have to pull on the
lever and remove the tongue from the buckle.
Although the notched tongue enables you to
change the adjustment precisely on each use, it is
important to check frequently that the adjustment
of the strap length is correct.
Warning: never ride with the chin strap loose or
insufficiently tightened. Even though the interior padding gives you the impression of being
held, your helmet risks coming off in a fall.
Never apply lubricating or acid products or
grease or solvents to the chin strap buckle
parts.

VISOR • MAINTENANCE
VZ140 «long trip» visor of your SHARK Nano
helmet is injected into a polycarbonate material
specifically developed for its excellent optical
quality and high performance shock resistance.
With a thickness of 2.2mm, it offers a good
strength.
It was developed from a complete aerodynamic
simulation and is specifically recommended for
long journeys at high speed: the long trip makes
it possible to have a good field of vision at slow
speed such as faster.
VZ140 screen is optical class 2.
It has three technical areas that allow a greater
demisting surface and a better visibility:
- One come with air diffusers for a larger demisting area
- Two shaped air outlets to force the extraction
of hot and humid air, by «Venturi effect».
- Baffles channeling air flow away from the
plates, thus reducing the noise associated with
the aeroacoustics.
With its curved profile, this screen provides
protection against wash air even at high speed.
The outer surface of the screen has a treatment
with high resistance to scratches.

VENTILATION
To maximize comfort including ventilation of
SHARK Nano / SHARK Raw, R&D has produced
a new concept combining creating air channels in the damping elements and insertion of
broadcasters in the cap thermo compressed.
The air flow is optimal cooling and allows a
real skull.
Air enters through the upper front ventilation
(Fig. A), circulates and cools the head through
the diffusers integrated in internal damping
elements.
The quality and design of textile comfort participate in the dissemination of good air. The
position of the upper ventilation is determined
to maximize the effectiveness of its air intake.
Depending on your machine, the fairing can
reduce the effectiveness of the ventilation.

5 years Warranty
You have recently purchased a SHARK helmet for your
safety and pleasure. It has been designed with the greatest care to satisfy your every requirement. For your safety, and that of your passenger, you must respect all the
rules of prudence when using your two-wheeled vehicle.
The SHARK 5-YEAR warranty guarantees the initial purchaser that any possible manufacturing fault or material
defect will be covered by the SHARK warranty.
Limitations
If during the warranty period (5 years as from the date
of purchase), a problem covered by the warranty were
to arise, SHARK, through the intermediary of its sales
network, undertakes to repair or replace any defective
components, up to a maximum limit which is the purchase value of the helmet. Any labour costs are normally
paid by the SHARK network, but are submitted for approval prior to the work being carried out.
If the repair requires components to be dispatched incurring transportation costs, the SHARK network shall cover
these costs up to a limit which is the cost of transport by
the national postal service at the normal rate.
Exclusions
This warranty only covers problems related to materials
or manufacturing. SHARK cannot be held liable with
regard to the product in the following cases :
Any damage following
1) a fall or accident
2) a technical modification made by the user or a third
party (glue, adhesives, paint, screws, etc.)
3) use of or contact with: harmful chemical products
(including methylated spirits on the visor treatments), or
an intense heat source
4) incorrect use: abnormal conditions (e.g. underwater),
lack of maintenance or care
5) ageing due to normal wear of the inner fabrics or
foams, the appearance of the external parts, or the visor
(scratches, marks, etc.)
6) abnormal and prolonged exposure to ultra- violet
light, in particular for the decorative colours. In addition,
SHARK cannot consider subjective considerations related
to use of the helmet as defects covered by the warranty:
problems with comfort, size, noise or whistling, aerodynamics, etc.
SHARK cannot be held liable for the temporary non-availability of the helmet while it is being
enhanced to satisfy the needs of its owner. In all cases,
the maximum warranty period is 5 years. Replacement
of a component during this period does not prolong this
period.
Procedure
When the helmet is sold go to our website www.sharkhelmets.com in order to activate your warranty. All warranty claims must be made to the SHARK dealer that sold
the helmet.
For a warranty claim to be considered, the purchaser
must notify the dealer of the problem that has arisen, and
return the helmet that is the subject of the claim, together
with the warranty card filled out when the helmet was
purchased. This warranty does not affect in any way the
statutory rights of the purchaser as stipulated by directive 1999/44CE.
The effects of this specific and limited warranty shall
come to an end after a period of 5 years as from the
date of purchase. After this period, if you continue to use
a helmet regularly, we recommend that to benefit from
optimum protection and comfort you should replace your
helmet. This is because certain external factors - general
wear, certain impacts - could be prejudicial to the safety
characteristics of this essential piece of protective equipment.

SHARK reserves the right to carry out work within the
terms of the warranty using replacement parts from the
most recent version compatible with the model concerned, and is unable to guarantee perfect harmonisation of
the paint or decorative elements associated with specific
production runs and/or limited editions. In addition, the
natural deterioration of colours over a period of time can
cause mismatching in the adaptation of colours of spare
parts.
If SHARK is unable to carry out the repair for technical
reasons or because a component is not available, SHARK
undertakes to make the customer an advantageous offer,
taking account of the age of the helmet, consisting in
either an identical new helmet or an equivalent model
manufactured at the time of the repair, if the original
model is no longer available.
