A HELMET IN YOUR SIZE
WARNING! No helmet can protect
the wearer from all foreseeable
high or low speed impacts. However, for
maximum protection, the helmet must be
of proper t and the chin strap must be
securely fastened as described in this
manual. Failure to have a proper t and
to securely fasten the chin strap is dange
rous, as the helmet could come off in an
accident, resulting in severe head injury
or death.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
Each helmet is designed to corres-
pond to a head measurement (from for
shapes, this size reference can only be
considered as a guide. For maximum protection, it is necessary to check that the
helmet is well suited for the shape of your
head. When trying a brand new helmet,
make sure that your head is pushed into
the helmet as far as possible, with the
front part just above your eyebrows, and
with the chin strap securely fastened as
described on the next page.
1. The helmet should feel very snug all
around your head and fairly tight on the
cheek pads. If not, it is too big for you;
select a smaller size.
See gure A.

wrap a tape measure horizontally around
your head at a height of approximately
one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows.
If your head measurement falls between
two sizes, rst try on the smaller helmet.

(see instructions), be sure that the helmet
cannot be moved excessively from side to
side or up and down.
You should feel the skin of your head and
face being pulled as you move the helmet.

a smaller size. See gure B.
3. Grasp the back of the helmet at the
base and attempt to pull the helmet
off your head. Next, push the helmet
upwards from beneath the chin
guard. You should push and pull with
relatively signicant force. If the helmet
starts to come off, the helmet is too big
for you; select a smaller size.
4. Bend your head forward as far as possible. The chin guard must not touch your
chest. See gure C.
5. Bend your head backwards as far as
possible. The helmet shell must not touch
your back. See gure D.
Never wrap your hair inside the
assistance.
Each of these tests must be repeated
throughout the life of the helmet, as the
comfort padding may wear or change
over time. If, during the life of your helmet,
your helmet does not maintain the correct
t, you must replace the helmet.
WARNING! Never lend your helmet
to others without insuring a proper
t in accordance with these instructions.
WARNING! If you cannot obtain
a proper t in accordance with
these instructions, DO NOT USE THE
helmet, or place anything in or on your
hair inside the helmet. Never insert
padding to modify the position of the
helmet on the head.

CHIN STRAP
CHIN STRAP
Depending on the various versions and the
country concerned, your SHARK SKWAL helmet
is equipped with a chin strap with a “Precise
Lock” rapid buckle with a snap lock or one with a
double-D ring. Proper use of the chin strap is critical for proper performance of the helmet. Never
alter your chin strap in any way. For example, never
cut it or add holes, or apply buttons, studs or other
items to your chin strap. During the life of your
helmet, be sure that the chin strap never suffers
any type of abrasion or cut, and that its total length
does not change. If it does, replace your helmet.
PRECISE LOCK
The “Precise Lock” snap lock system gives you
precise and accurate adjustment because of the
considerable length of its notched section.
Choose your SHARK SKWAL helmet 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. E). The tongue connects and
is automatically blocked.
To release the chin strap, you have to pull on the
lever (Fig. F) 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
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).

your head completely unprotected and resulting
in severe head injury or death. Try to pull down
on the chin strap with your ngers. If the strap
loosens in any way, you have not properly tightened

completely unprotected.

system of your helmet, do not use the helmet. Contact
your dealer for assistance.

The parts in contact with the skin are made
in a fabric that is guaranteed to feel pleasant,
to absorb perspiration well and to resist wear
satisfactorily. We treat surfaces to limit the
risk of mould and bacteria.

The interior textile parts are washable; it is im-
portant to follow the instructions below scru-
pulously to avoid damaging them:
The cheek pads and head section must be
hand washed in warm, soapy water (about
30°). Do not use aggressive detergents but
either a product for delicate materials in
low dilution or household soap. It is essential
to dry textile and foam parts completely before
to normal wear depending on use and care
and maintenance, the length of use and also
the degree of acidity of your perspiration. If
you note any wear, we
advise you to replace the interior padding
in order to keep your helmet perfectly clean
and comfortable.
Your SHARK supplier can propose you with
replacement parts and also offer you cheek
pads of different thicknesses and densities,
using them. They must be dried at room tem-
perature. Never iron textile parts. For parts with
a leather appearance or textiles attached to
safety elements, use a slightly damp sponge or
cloth and household soap and rinse with clean
water. Avoid allowing too much water to
come into contact with polystyrene parts.

VENTILATIONS
VENTILATION INSIDE THE HELMET.
The upper air intake (Fig. A) allows air to enter onto
the upper part of the head and thus renew the air in
the head section. The channels incorporated in the
internal shock absorbers facilitate the circulation of
air over the surface of the head.
The quality and design of the textile comfort parts
contribute to the proper distribution of air. The position of the upper ventilation system is designed to optimise the effectiveness of its intake of air. Depending
on the type of your motorbike, the fairing may reduce
the effectiveness of this ventilation.
The ventilation is in the open position when the
tongue is pushed backwards (1) and closed when the
tongue is pushed forwards (2).
1
2
A
LOWER VENTILATION.
The principal function of this air intake is to direct a
flow of fresh air over the interior surface of the visor in
order to limit the risk of misting. The fresh air diffused
cuts off contact with the hot air emitted by breathing
or even by the head inside the helmet.
To open (1) or close (2) the lower ventilation, press
the button as indicated.
WARNING! Do not open or close any vents
while operating your motorcycle. You could
lose control of your motorcycle, resulting in an
accident, personal injury or death.
AERODYNAMICS AND ACOUSTICS
The SKWAL has been carefully designed to offer you
the greatest pleasure in use.
The profile of the helmet, its impermeability and the
quality of the materials used enable air noise on the
crown of the head and aerodynamic turbulence to be
filtered as far as possible. In order for the use of your
helmet to be as pleasant as possible, it is important
for turbulence or air eddies created by the fairings not
to impair the aerodynamic qualities of your SKWAL
helmet. The shape of the fairings of your motorcycle
and/or your size should not cause air eddies to reach
the lower part of your helmet.

5 YEARS WARRANTY
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-YEARS
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, under
takes 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 car
ried 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 modication made by the user or a third party
(glue, adhesives, paint, screws, etc.)
3) use of or contact with: harmful chemical products (inclu
ding 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 can
not 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-availa
bility 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.

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.
This warranty is only valid for european continent.

CHOISIR SA TAILLE CHOISIR SA TAILLE
ATTENTION ! Aucun casque ne peut
protéger entièrement l’utilisateur de
tous les chocs possibles à haute ou basse
vitesse. Toutefois, pour une protection
efficace, le casque doit être à la bonne taille et
la jugulaire doit être correctement serrée
comme indiqué dans le manuel. Il est
dangereux de ne pas utiliser un casque à sa
taille ou de ne pas serrer correctement le
système de fermeture de la jugulaire, car le
casque pourrait se séparer de la tête en cas
d’accident, entrainant des blessures graves
ou mortelles.
CHOISIR SA TAILLE
Chaque casque de XS à XL est conçu
pour une taille de tête donnée. Pour mesurer
votre tour de tête, utiliser un mètre ruban
vérifier que le casque correspond bien à votre
tête. Lorsque que vous choisissez un nouveau
casque, vérifier que votre tête soit bien
enfoncée dans le casque, le haut du champ
de vision étant positionné au dessus des
sourcils. Vérifier également que la jugulaire
soit correctement serrée comme indiqué dans
la page suivante.
1. La tête doit être bien enveloppée par le
casque et les joues doivent apporter un bon
maintien. Si ce n’est pas le cas, le casque
choisi est trop grand, essayer donc une taille
plus petite. Voir la figure A.
2. Avec la jugulaire correctement
en l’enroulant horizontalement à 2,5 cm au
dessus de vos sourcils. Si la mesure se trouve
entre deux tailles, essayez d’abord le casque le
plus petit. Toutefois, en raison des différentes
morphologies de crânes, les références de
taille servent uniquement à vous orienter vers
la taille la mieux adaptée à votre tête. Pour
une protection efficace, il est nécessaire de
serrée (voir page 10), assurez-vous que le
casque ne bouge pas trop de gauche à droite
et de haut en bas. Vous devez sentir votre
peau se tirer au niveau de la tête et du visage
lorsque vous bougez le casque. Si ce n’est pas
le cas, le casque choisi est trop grand, essayer
donc une taille plus petite. Voir la figure B.

du casque par la base et essayer de le retirer
de votre tête dans un mouvement rotationnel.
Ensuite essayer d’enlever le casque en le
saisissant par la base de la mentonnière. Vous
devez faire ces mouvements de manière
suffisamment énergique. Si le casque commence à se déchausser, le casque choisi est
trop grand, essayer donc une taille plus petite.
4. Penchez la tête vers l’avant le plus possible. La base de la mentonnière ne doit pas
toucher la poitrine. Voir la figure C.
5. Penchez la tête à l’arrière le plus loin possible. La base du casque ne doit pas toucher
le dos. Voir la figure D.
N’ayez pas les cheveux enroulés ou attachés
à l’intérieur du casque.

votre revendeur.
Chacune de ces étapes doit être répétée
pendant toute la durée de vie du casque, car
les mousses de confort peuvent évoluer au fil
du temps. Si, au cours de la durée de vie du
casque, celui-ci ne conserve pas une taille
correcte, il faudra le remplacer.
ATTENTION ! Ne jamais prêter votre
casque sans vous assurer, en suivant
les instructions dans ce manuel, qu’il convient
bien à la personne.
ATTENTION ! Si en suivant ces
instructions vous ne trouvez pas un
casque parfaitement adapté, NE L’UTILISEZ

JUGULAIRE
JUGULAIRE
Votre casque SKWAL est équipé selon les versions et les pays d’une jugulaire à fermeture rapide
« Precise Lock » à cliquet ou d’une boucle de jugulaire à double anneau.
PRECISE LOCK
Le système « Precise Lock » à cliquet vous permet
un réglage fin et précis grâce à la longueur importante de sa partie dentée.
Toutefois il est indispensable, lors de votre achat,
d’adapter la longueur de la jugulaire à votre morphologie. Ajuster la longueur de sangle à l’aide de
la boucle de réglage (Fig. A, B, C, D). Chausser votre
Pour bloquer la jugulaire, il suffit d’enfiler la languette dans l’emplacement prévu sur la boucle
jusqu’à ce que la tension soit parfaite
(Fig. E). La languette s’enclenche et se bloque automatiquement.
Pour débloquer la jugulaire, il faut tirer sur le levier
(Fig. F) et sortir la languette de la boucle. Bien que
la languette dentée permette d’affiner le réglage à
chaque utilisation, il est important de vérifier fréquemment que le réglage de la longueur de sangle
soit correct.
ATTENTION ! Ne jamais rouler avec la jugulaire non attachée ou insuffisamment tendue,
même si l’habillage intérieur vous procure un
casque SKWAL et attacher le système de rétention.
Lorsque le « Precise Lock» est réglé en position
moyenne, la jugulaire doit être correctement tendue sous le menton pour vous assurer un maintien
ferme du casque, sans causer de gêne ni douleur.

d’être correctement serrée, la jugulaire doit passer
selon les instructions dans les boucles double-D. Toute
mauvaise utilisation de la jugulaire peut faire

3. Tirez sur l’extrémité de la sangle jusqu’à ce que
la jugulaire soit bien tendue. La jugulaire doit être
positionnée contre le cou, et non sous le menton. Elle
doit être serrée le plus possible sans faire mal ou
gêner la respiration. Voir la figure C.

sangle dans les airs. Voir la figure D.
