Safety Advice Concerning Modifications / Accessories - SCHUBERTH M1 Instrucciones De Seguridad

The full protective function of a helmet can no longer be guaranteed after an accident
or impact. 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 from
the outside. 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.
The helmet safety mechanism described above can also cause small cracks in the shell
when the helmet is dropped from a small 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 for damage at regular intervals. 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 this period of use.
Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the decoration, 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.
3. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE FACE SCHIELD /
SUN VISOR
The protective film used during shipping should be removed before use.
Any scratches and/or dirt arising from the use of the face shield and/or sun visors
significantly impair your vision in any driving situation and thus increase the risk
of an accident. For your own safety, replace them or clean them immediately.
Never use a tinted face shield or sun visor in conditions of poor visibility, at night
or in a tunnel!
Benzene, solvent and fuel vapour can cause cracks in the face shield. Keep the face
shield away from such vapours and do not allow these kinds of substances to come
into direct contact with the face shield! Never place the helmet on the tank of a
motorcycle.
Make sure the face shield is always in perfect condition. Don't ride when visibility
is poor!

4. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS /
ACCESSORIES
Original components (in particular on the outer shell, inner shell and restraint
system) should not be altered or removed. The fitting of additional parts from other
manufacturers that have not been recommended can reduce the protective effect
and renders the ECE certification and all warranty and insurance claims invalid.
Use only original parts, replacement parts and accessories that SCHUBERTH has
expressly approved for your helmet!
Never clean the visor / sunvisor with gasoline, solvents, window or glass cleaner
or any other cleaning agents containing alcohol.
The installation of a communication system (including basic headsets) constitutes
a modification to the helmet. For this reason it is necessary for any communication
system and headset intended for installation into a specific model of helmet to
be tested and approved in line with the ECE­R 22.05 European helmet standard,
otherwise the helmet's approval and compliance with insurance requirements become
invalid on installation. Evidence of approval in line with ECE­R 22.05 in connection with
a specific communication system is only valid if certified by an official regulatory office
of an EU member state. Any other form of information
from these or other institutions (e.g. on the general suitability of communication
systems for use in motorcycle helmets) is of no relevance and the helmet will lose
its approval.
For safety reasons, all other helmet components not generally available in specialist
shops may be replaced only by SCHUBERTH repair service. Your dealer will be happy
to assist you with this service.
