Wind Deflector; Chin Bar - SCHUBERTH C3 PRO Manual Del Usuario

C. THE HELMET

8. WIND DEFLECTOR

The wind deflector prevents the unpleasant effect of the wind
created as you ride flowing into the helmet. In addition, the
riding noise in the helmet is reduced.
1. The wind deflector is attached
by Velcro strips on the inside of
the acoustic collar and can be
removed when required to provide
an additional flow of fresh air,
especially in hot weather.
Tip:
The fit of the bottom of the helmet is extremely important in
ensuring that the helmet is as quiet as possible. If you have a
smaller neck size, we recommend that you also wear a scarf.

9. CHIN bar

The C3 is equipped with a chin bar that pivots up and can be
easily opened and closed by means of the operating element
located in the middle of the chin bar. The movement of the
section required for this is optimised for convenient, smooth
operation.
Lock system
The chin section is equipped with a specially developed lock
system on the left and the right side. The construction design
of the lock system is similar to the door lock systems used in car
design. Despite there being locks on both sides, the chin section
opens with only one button. The lock in the opposite side is
simultaneously operated by bowden cable. The mechanically
62
optimised system reduces the force need to operate the two
locks to a comfortable 16 N, although the safety-relevant overall
locking force is many times this amount.
Operation
The chin bar can be opened at any time irrespective of the
position of the visor or sun visor. The stiff, positive engagement
at the end of travel ensures the chin bar remains safely in place
when raised.
Opening the chin bar
1. Open the chin bar by sliding the
red button located in the middle
of the chin zone forwards in the
direction of the arrow as far as it
will go, using your thumb.
2. The Bowden cable mechanism will
then release both locks and you
can pivot the chin section up to its
uppermost locking position.
