Safety Advice Concerning The Visor / Sun Visor; Safety Advice Concerning Modifi Cations / Accessories - SCHUBERTH S1 PRO Manual

G. FOR YOUR SAFETY
The helmet safety mechanism described above can also cause
small cracks in the shell when the helmet is dropped from a low
height (less than 1 metre).
Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact should be
replaced!
No helmet provides absolute protection from all conceivable
impacts. This helmet has been specially developed for
motorcycle riding and is unsuitable for other purposes.
Examine the helmet regularly for damage. Small scratches will
not impair the protective function of your helmet.
The helmet should be replaced after 5 to 7 years, depending on
use and care. Although the outer shell is in principle capable of
a longer service life, the occurrence of material fatigue and wear
to other components as well as the overall action of the helmet
and the unknown conditions in which the helmet has been used,
make it advisable for your own safety to replace the helmet after
the aforementioned period of use.
Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to
graphics, the inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining!
Direct contact with motor fuel, thinners or solvents can destroy
the structure of the inner and outer shell. Make sure the helmet
does not come into contact with such substances, even for
cleaning purposes.

2. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE VISOR / SUN VISOR

The protective fi lm fastened to the visor with special adhesive
dots to protect it from scratches in transit should be removed
before use.
A scratched and/or dirty visor or sun visor considerably impairs
visibility – especially at night or when riding into the sun – and
increases the risk of an accident. For your own safety, replace or
clean the visor immediately.
Never use a tinted visor in conditions of poor visibility or at night
or in a tunnel!
Benzene, solvent and fuel vapour can cause cracks on the visor.
Keep the visor away from such vapours and do not allow these
kinds of substances to come into direct contact with the visor!
For that reason, never place the helmet on the tank of your
motorcycle.
Make sure the visor is always in perfect condition. Don't ride
when visibility is poor!
3. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS /
ACCESSORIES
Original parts (especially on the outer shell, inner shell and
retention system) should not be modifi ed or removed. The
fi tting of non-genuine, non-recommended parts can partially
or completely counteract the protective function of the helmet
and invalidate the ECE approval together with all guarantee and
insurance rights.
Use only original parts, replacement parts and accessories that
SCHUBERTH has expressly approved for your helmet!
