PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Even if the helmet meets or exceeds
international standards applicable to the
manufacture of helmets, always ride with
care. The helmet cannot fully protect the
user from all possible impacts at high
or low speeds. All safety equipment has
its limits, and a head injury can occur in
an accident, even if a helmet is worn.
However, to protect yourself from death or
permanent impairment due to a head injury,
it is essential that the helmet size fits your
head size and that the chinstrap is properly
tightened as described in this manual.
2. This helmet is designed to cushion the
impact through the partial destruction of
the helmet shell and/or of the internal
impact absorber. This damage may be
invisible. Therefore, if the helmet suffers an
impact, even if it is merely dropped on the
ground, it must be returned to be inspected,
replaced or destroyed, even if it does not
appear damaged. If in doubt, and if you
are unsure whether this rule applies to the
impact in question, contact your supplier
before using the helmet again.
3. A helmet, like all products, can deteriorate
over time depending on how it is used.
Please check the helmet for any signs of
deterioration or damage before each use.
The size of the helmet must always match
the size of your head. If this is not the
case, then the helmet has stretched and
must be replaced. Never wear a damaged
helmet. Even if the helmet is not damaged
or deteriorated, it is recommended that you
replace it five years after purchase.
4. Do not modify the helmet in any way.
Never pierce or cut any part of the helmet.
Any modification may damage the helmet,
thereby reducing its ability to protect you
from an impact.
5. Handle the helmet with care. Never sit
on it or throw it on the ground. Never ride
with your helmet hanging over any part of
your motorcycle.
6. Never use
products, chemicals or any other solvent to
clean the helmet, shell or visor. Additionally,
your helmet should never be exposed to the
fumes from these solvents (for example,
by leaving it on your motorcycle's fuel
tank cap). These chemicals could cause
invisible, serious damage to the helmet,
2
thus reducing its ability to protect you.
petroleum, petroleum
Only use mild soap, warm water and a soft
rag to clean and wipe down the helmet
and visor.
7. Never apply paint, stickers or adhesive
tape to the shell or visor. These could cause
invisible damage to your helmet and thus
reduce the helmet's ability to protect you.
8. No modifications to the helmet must
affect its original design as manufactured.
Accessories must be installed according
to the helmet manufacturer's instructions.
Only the accessories tested during the
helmet certification process guarantee that
the helmet's performance, in terms of the
protection it provides when fitted with
these accessories, remains compliant with
its certification.
9. A reduction in hearing, in the field of
view, and in head movements will be
experienced when wearing the helmet.
Please adjust your riding accordingly.
10. Dry your helmet at room temperature.
Never expose it to temperatures above
approximately 160°F/70°C, which could
happen, for example, if your helmet is left
on the passenger seat or in the boot of
a car.
Always keep the helmet away from heat
sources, such as the exhaust pipe or the top
box of a motorcycle.
11. If you have any comments or questions
about the helmet, please contact SHARK or
your nearest supplier.
