WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS
1.This helmet is for use only with motorcycles ridden on the street or other paved surfaces. Never use this helmet off road, on snowmobiles, in automobiles, etc.
2.Always ride with care. Even though this helmet meets or exceeds many of the world’s most demanding standards for helmet production, no helmet can protect the wearer from all foreseeable high or low speed impacts. All safety equipment have limits, and you could still sustain a head injury in an accident even if you are wearing a helmet. However, for maximum protection against death or permanent impairment from a head injury, the helmet must fit firmly on your head and the chinstrap must be securely fastened as described in this manual.
3.The helmet is designed to absorb only one impact by partial destruction of the shell and/ or liner. This damage may not be visible to you. Therefore, if your helmet is subjected to any impact, even if it is only dropped to the ground, the helmet should be returned for inspection or replaced and destroyed even if it is apparently undamaged. If you have any doubts, and you are not sure whether this «one impact» rule applies, consult your dealer before you use your helmet again.
4.A helmet, like all products, may wear out over time depending on the conditions of use. Please check your helmet every time you use it for evidence of damage or wear. The helmet should always fit snugly all around your head. If it is not snug, it has become too big for you and should be replaced. Never wear a damaged helmet. Even if the helmet does not show any evidence of damage or wear, we recommended the helmet to be replaced five years after it is first purchased.
5.Make no modifications whatsoever to your helmet. Never drill or cut any component of the helmet. Modifications can significantly weaken your helmet, thereby eliminating its ability to protect you from an impact.
6.Handle your helmet carefully. Never sit on it or drop it to the ground. Never ride with
the helmet hanging from any part of your motorcycle.
7.Never use petroleum or petroleum products, chemicals or any other solvents to clean the helmet, shell or visor. In addition, never expose your helmet to the fumes of these solvents (for example by leaving it on top of the fuel tank cap on your motorcycle). Your helmet could be seriously damaged by these agents, without this damage being visible to you, thereby eliminating its ability to protect you. Use only mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth to wipe your helmet and visor clean.
8.Never apply any paint, stickers or adhesive tape to any part of your shell or visor. They could significantly weaken your helmet, without this damage being visible to you, thereby eliminating the helmet’s ability to protect you.
9. You will experience some reduction in hearing, peripheral vision and head movements while you are wearing your helmet. Please ride accordingly.
10.Dry your helmet at room temperature. Never subject it to heat in excess of 160°F/70°C, which can occur if your helmet is stored in the passenger compartment or trunk of a car.
11.If you ever have any comments or questions about this helmet, please contact Shark or your nearest dealer.
