in normal conditions. This means that the light transmittance guaranteed by the approved
visor of the helmet is not at all reduced.
The VPS mechanism also allows to activate the sunscreen by simply lowering it until it par-
tially covers the visor field of vision. In this way, the desired light transmittance reduction
is achieved. At any moment, with a simple movement and independently from the visor,
the VPS can be deactivated and pulled up to restore the normal visibility and protection
conditions guaranteed by the approved visor.
Even when not in use, the VPS can serve as a partial peak, helping to indirectly protect
the field of vision, e.g. if it rains slightly.
The VPS has been designed to ensure an easy, quick and tool-free disassembly. For this
reason, special auxiliary side covers are supplied for the assembly on the helmet in case
the VPS system is not present.
Precautions for use
The current approval standards (EEC 22-05) state that the minimum light transmittance
levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not lower than 50% when riding
during the day. For this reason, when riding during the day in particular brightness weath-
er conditions, e.g. very strong sunlight, the use of sunglasses - determining a transmit-
tance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not compulsory, to reduce eye
tiredness in case of long trips. In the same way, sunglasses are necessary to reduce the
risk of direct dazzling as opposed to the use of the mere approved visors. The use of sun-
glasses makes it however difficult to carry out possible emergency operations when the
maximum visibility range of the visor is to be restored. Just think, for example, of what hap-
pens when you enter a tunnel or when unexpected changes in brightness occur. Thanks
to its operating mechanism and to its position on the approved visor outside, the VPS
makes these operations much easier.
ATTENTION
• The VPS can be activated only during the day and in the environmental conditions
described before.
• At night and/or in scarce visibility conditions, the VPS is to be deactivated or removed
from the helmet.
• Always check that the VPS is properly positioned according to the different weath-
er/environmental conditions and/or to the above mentioned usage recommendations.
• We recommend assembling the VPS only and solely together with the approved stan-
dard visor, which has a transmittance value greater than 80%.
• Always make sure that the VPS and the visor are clean and operating correctly in order
to avoid scratches and/or anomalous wear to the visor.
• If the VPS is not present, we advise you to always assemble the auxiliary side covers.
• As for the VPS maintenance and cleaning operations, please refer to the proper sec-
tion in the helmet user's manual.
VPS assembly instructions
Starting from the standard helmet, designed for the assembly of the VPS system, carry out
the following procedures and checkouts:
1. Pull the left auxiliary side cover outwards as in Fig. 18 to prize it off. Carry out the same
steps on the right side.
