Checking The Face Shield; For Your Safety; Safety Advice Concerning The Helmet - SCHUBERTH SR2 Manual

E. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY

3. CHECKING THE FACE SHIELD

Before every ride, check that the visor is fit for function and that it offers
sufficiently good vision. Any dirt should always be removed before you ride.
Check the visor for mechanical damage and/or cracks. A badly scratched
face shield will considerably impair your vision and should be replaced before
setting off on a journey.
Caution:
A heavily scratched face shield considerably interferes with visibility and
should be replaced if necessary before riding.
Caution:
Stop riding if visibility is poor.

F. FOR YOUR SAFETY
SAFETY ADVICE
1. CONCERNING THE HELMET
Motorcycling is associated with particular risks and dangers for the
rider and passenger. These risks and dangers can be reduced, but not
eliminated completely, by wearing a helmet. It is impossible to state
precisely what the protective effect of a helmet will be in the event of
an accident. Safe riding techniques, adapted to the particular road and
weather conditions, are essential for your safety.
To provide adequate protection, the helmet must fit well and be
securely fastened.
Always fasten the chinstrap before setting off and check that the
fastening system and strap are correctly in position.
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The
chinstrap must be correctly positioned and must not come loose when
pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes
loose when pulled.
The full protective function of a helmet can no longer be guaranteed
after an accident or impact. Like the crumple zone of a car, the impact
energy of a collision is absorbed by complete or partial destruction of
the structure of the outer and/or inner shell of the helmet. Because
of the way helmets are designed, this damage is rarely visible from the
outside. The safety helmet is designed to absorb only one impact. It is
therefore essential to replace the helmet after a fall, accident or other
violent impact. For safety reasons, the old helmet should be rendered
unusable.
The helmet safety mechanism described above can also cause small
cracks in the shell when the helmet is dropped from a small height
(less than 1 metre).
Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact should be
replaced.
