For Your Safety; Safety Advice Concerning The Helmet - SCHUBERTH M1 DOT218 Manual De Usario

Clean your helmet carefully!
Only use lukewarm tap water, never benzene, gasoline, glass cleaner or other solvents.
Your helmet can be seriously damaged by these substances without visible damage.
A helmet damaged or weakened by a cleaning agent may not provide head protection
in an accident, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Always check your helmet before every ride!
1. Check the Face Shield and sun visor.
2. Check the correct function of the shield and visor mechanics.
3. Check for cracks in the helmet. Strong acid (e.g. battery acid) can damage
the shield bases. If you find cracks or damage, stop using the helmet
immediately.
4. Check helmet for deterioration. If you find deterioration in any part of a
component, either replace that component or get a new helmet. If these
parts come loose and/or fall off while you are riding, your vision may be
blocked, which could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury
or death.
5. Check the security of the retention system.
Maintain your helmet shields (shield and sun visor) in good condition!
If your shields become too scratched or uncleanable, replace them with new ones.
Impaired visibility may cause accidents. Clean your shields only with mild soap diluted
in tap water. Rinse well with clean tap water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Never use benzene, gasoline, glass cleaner or any other solvents.
Do not attach stickers or adhesive tape to the shields, as this will weaken the hard
coating, damaging the shields. Do not drive with a dim or blurred shield.
Impaired vision can cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death.
Never use the tinted sun visor at night, in poor visibility conditions or in
tunnels!
The tinted visor reduces light transmission and should never be used in situations
where vision is impaired (i.e. at night, in poor visibility conditions or in tunnels).
Do not repaint the helmet!
Repainting of your helmet is not recommended. Paint and thinner can damage the
helmet and reduce its ability to provide head protection in an accident.
Replace the helmet after no more than five years!
The useful life of the helmet depends on its use and care. We recommend that this
helmet has to be replaced after no more than five years from its date of purchase.

2. THE HELMET
Make sure that the sun visor is properly engaged in the sun visor sockets. If not
properly engaged the sun visor comes loose and/or falls off while you are riding, your
vision may be limited or blocked, which could cause an accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The chinstrap should
fit correctly and should not become loose when pulled. The fastener is not correctly
closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when pulled.

Safety Advice concerning the helmet

Never ride without a helmet!
No helmet is as safe as riding safely!
Motorcycle riding has special personal hazards. The risks that are being taken
by riding a motorcycle can be reduced but not eliminated by wearing a helmet.
No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts!
There are limits to the physical size and weight of the helmet a person can wear.
The ability of a helmet to protect the wearer is limited. No helmet can protect the
wearer against all foreseeable impacts.
Use only a helmet that fits snugly all around your head!
Fasten the chin-strap securely under your chin! A helmet can provide protection only
to the extent that your head is covered with the helmet. The use of a properly fitted,
securely fastened helmet can lessen the risk of death or permanent impairment due
to head injury. For maximum head protection, the helmet must be properly fitted.
The retention system must be correctly adjusted and securely fastened under the
chin. Failure to have a proper fit and to securely fasten the helmet is dangerous as
the helmet could come off in an accident resulting in severe head injury or death. For
detailed information regarding proper fit.
