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

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).
