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. Ne ver use pet roleum or pe troleum
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.
