Checking The Visor And Sun Visor; For Your Safety; Safety Advice Concerning The Helmet - SCHUBERTH S1 PRO Manual

F. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY
Note:
Repeat the test after each correction.
Caution:
Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted!
The chinstrap should fi t correctly and should not become loose
when pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap
becomes loose when pulled.

3. CHECKING THE VISOR AND SUN VISOR

Before every journey, check that the mechanisms of the visor and sun
visor are working properly and that the visor or sun visor will provide
suffi ciently good visibility. Any dirt should be removed before riding (for
instructions on care, see Section H.2.).
Check the visor and sun visor for physical damage and cracks. A
heavily scratched visor will considerably impair your vision and should
be replaced before setting off on a journey.
Caution:
Never use tinted visors in conditions of poor visibility or when
riding at night or in a tunnel.
Caution:
A scratched and/or dirty visor will seriously impair visibility. For
your own safety, replace it or clean it immediately.
Caution:
Make sure the visor is always in perfect condition. A damaged
visor is not suitable for riding and needs to be replaced.
Caution:
Stop riding when visibility is poor.

G. FOR YOUR SAFETY

1. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE HELMET

Never ride without a 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,
modifi ed for the particular road and weather conditions, are
essential for your safety.
Make sure your helmet is always correctly positioned and fi ts
your head.
To provide adequate protection, the helmet must fi t well and be
securely fastened.
Always fasten the chinstrap before setting off and check the
fastening system and strap for correct 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 to it! 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 to the observer.
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.
