C. READ FIRST

Warning:

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. There are numerous variations in accidents; the protective capability of a helmet is difficult to measure at the time of purchase.

Warning:

No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts!

There are limits to the physical size and weight of the helmet a person is willing to wear. The ability of a helmet to protect the wearer is limited. No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts.

Warning:

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 and should provide adequate peripheral vision. The retention system must be 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, see section D.

Warning:

Never use the helmet with the lining removed!

If the lining is not installed before use, the helmet may not fit properly and could come off in an accident, resulting in severe head injury or death.

54

Warning:

After your helmet has protected you from an impact or suffered a hit, you must get a new one!

Your helmet is designed to distribute the force incurred during an impact over a wide area. Even if your helmet looks visibly undamaged, its useful life has come to an end after only one impact during riding, i.e. an accident where you and your helmet hit the ground or an object. In an impact, the helmet’s impact absorbing liner becomes compacted.

Once this has happened, the helmet no longer has the ability to absorb further impacts. Your helmet may look the same, but it will not provide protection in an accident. Therefore, a helmet that has experienced an impact should be destroyed and replaced.

Warning:

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.

Warning:

Never modify your helmet!

It is very dangerous to drill holes or to cut the shell and/ or the shock absorbing liner. Modification can seriously weaken the helmet. Modifying the retention system weakens it, increasing the likelihood of snapping during impact. Removing parts such as the mouth guard or rubber face molding can expose edges that may injure you in an accident. Always use approved Schuberth parts when replacing shields, screws, or any other parts. A weakened helmet will not provide head protection.

55

C. READ FIRST

Warning:

Don’t mistreat your helmet!

Never ride with the helmet hanging from the helmet holder, and do not hang the helmet from angled supports such as a mirror. Do not sit on or throw your helmet. You should not expose the liner of your helmet to strong sunlight and excessive heat such as near heaters or where temperatures exceed 50°C (122°F). Avoid spraying insect repellent chemicals

(such as "naphthalene") near the helmet. Mistreating your helmet will damage the shell and impact absorbing liner, reducing the helmet’s ability to protect you in an accident.

Warning:

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 (see section G.3.).

For checking instructions and procedure see also section G.

(before every journey) of this manual.

Warning:

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

56 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.

Warning:

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).

Warning:

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.

Warning:

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.

Caution:

To avoid liner damage, do not hang the helmet on the mirror

or the handlebar.

Caution:

Do not carry the helmet on the motorcycle’s helmet storage

lock while riding in order to avoid exhaust pipe burns, tire

abrasion, and strap damage to the helmet.

Caution:

Keep the helmet outside the reach of pets to avoid the helmet being damaged by chewing, scratching or other mistreatment.

Caution:

Do not expose the helmet to solvents including gasoline or

any fumes thereof in order to avoid damage to shields, shell,

plastic components and interior.

4. OUTER SHELL

Retention system

(with anti-roll-off system)

Operating slide for sun visor

The outer shell of the S2 combines an aerodynamically optimal shape that is suitable for racing with thorough protection.

It consists of glassfibre reinforced vinylester (GRP) with polyethylene fibre reinforced layers. This structure gives the helmet the high level of strength and rigidity needed for your protection*.

* The helmet is designed to provide the safety performance required by the United

States DOT 218 Standard in combination with the European ECE R 22.05 Standard

Warning:

The safety helmet is designed to absorb the effect of only one impact. The helmet must be replaced after a fall, accident or any other impact.

Note:

For cleaning instructions see section H.1. (maintenance and care –outer shell) of this manual.

59

D. THE HELMET

5. INNER SHELL

For optimized impact absorption properties, the inner shell of the helmet consists of several components. This complex segmenting achieves better absorption and distribution of impact forces and gives you a high level of protection. The large side sections ensure

the helmet provides optimum fit and the greatest comfort.

6. AERODYNAMICS

All SCHUBERTH motorcycle helmets are developed and optimized in SCHUBERTH’s own wind tunnel under scientific, precisely defined conditions. The S2 is specifically designed for a sporty riding posture and remains stable in the air current. Even when traveling at higher speeds, the S2 generates practically no upward lift. Other characteristics of the S2 are improved air resistance, reduced buffeting and directional stability.

Note:

Please note that strong eddy currents that may occur around edges of a motorcycle fairing (wind shadow) can have a considerable negative effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of a helmet.

7. AEROACOUSTICS

We have paid particular attention to improving the acoustic properties of the S2 with no detriment to comfort. Various measures developed in SCHUBERTH’s wind tunnel (such as special adaptation of the wind deflector in the chin area and the shape of the neck pad) as well as the choice of special materials ensure that the helmet does not pull and makes the helmet quieter**.

This enables relaxed and enhanced concentration - especially on long journeys. A quiet helmet is characterized by low wind noise. Wind noise arises through turbulent swirling of the air that flows around the helmet. The turbulence generates local pressure

60 fluctuations, which are detected inside the helmet as noise

(so-called pseudo noise). Only the wearer of the helmet hears this noise. With most motorcycles and helmets, engine noise is covered up by this wind noise from around 60 mph upwards.

**Acoustic values can vary depending on type of motorcycle, fairing design, riding posture and body size.

Warning:

The actual road speed can be underestimated slightly as a result of the acoustic optimization of the helmet and the accompanying low wind noise. I.e. don’t rely on your sense of hearing to judge road speed - check your speedometer.

Note:

Please note that with faired motorcycles strong eddy currents occur at the edges of the wind shadow. This can considerably reduce the aero-acoustic performance of the helmet. The fairing of the motorcycle should be adapted so that the departing turbulence does not strike the bottom surface of the helmet.

Tip:

To ensure the helmet is as quiet as possible, the fit on the underside of the helmet is important. This area needs to be well sealed off. If you have a slim neck, it is advisable to use a scarf additionally.

61

D. THE HELMET

Turbulators

The patented turbulators on the top of the face shield also optimise the aeroacoustic properties when riding and prevent acoustic disturbances in the form of whistling sounds that can be created by smooth and straight edges.

Warning:

The improved sealing in the lower section of the helmet can lead to an increased concentration of moisture inside the helmet, and thus to misting of the face shield, sun visor and eye glasses. This effect takes place when the helmet is not in an airstream but the face shield is closed (e.g. behind high motorcycle fairing or in immobile state at traffi c lights) and the venting element in the chin section is thus unable to function or to function adequately. If misting occurs, please open the visor so that there is a small gap through which the moisture can escape. Never ride with restricted vision.

62

8. WIND DEFLECTOR

The wind defl ector prevents the unpleasant effect of the wind created as you ride fl owing into the helmet. In addition, the riding noise in the helmet is reduced.

1. The wind defl ector is attached by Velcro strips on the inside of the acoustic collar and can be removed when required to provide an additional fl ow of fresh air, especially in hot weather.

Tip:

The fi t of the bottom of the helmet is extremely important in ensuring that the helmet is as quiet as possible. If you have a smaller collar size, we recommend that you also wear a scarf.

9. RETENTION SYSTEM

The retention system of the S2 consists of a chinstrap that is additionally secured with neckbands at the back of the helmet shell (the anti-roll-off system, see section D.14.).

Chinstrap with Micro-Lock ratchet fastener

The S2 comes with a ratchet fastener. This locking system is easy to use and enables you to adjust the chinstrap perfectly to your head every time you put the helmet on.

63

D. THE HELMET

Adjusting the chinstrap

The length of the chinstrap is adjusted by increasing or reducing the length of strap pulled through the metal buckle. Adjust the length of the chinstrap so that it fi ts fi rmly but comfortably under your chin and fi x the end of the strap using the retaining loop with comfort pad.

Caution:

When adjusting the strap, make sure that the helmet cannot be pulled off in a forward direction with the chinstrap closed

Caution:

Check the adjustment of the chinstrap length at regular intervals (see section F.2.).

Opening and closing

To close the chinstrap fastener, slide the ratchet tongue step by step into the locking buckle. If you fi nd that the chinstrap fi ts too loosely around your chin, slide the ratchet tongue one step further into the locking buckle.

When adjusting the chinstrap, make sure that it rests fi rmly but not uncomfortably around your chin. To open the chinstrap, pull the red ribbon on the ratchet fastener upwards to release the locking buckle. Then pull the ratchet tongue out of the locking buckle.

64

Warning:

The chin strap must be positioned under the chin!

Warning:

Never ride without making sure that the chinstrap is correctly fastened and adjusted and properly positioned. If the chinstrap is not correctly adjusted or fastened, the helmet could be displaced in the event of an accident.

Warning:

Do not twist the strap! The dented part of the tongue must be facing the inside of the helmet!

Warning:

Closing the comfort pad of the chinstrap alone will not provide adequate protection. The chinstrap must always be fully fastened.

Warning:

Never open the chinstrap while riding.

Warning:

Pull the red strap only to remove your helmet!

Never pull the red strap while riding!

65

D. THE HELMET

10. PINLOCK ® VISOR

The Pinlock ® visor is a double-wall visor that does not mist up.

The two visor plates are separated from each other and sealed with transparent, flexible silicone. The inner visor plate is fixed in place by eccentric pins, which pretensions the two visor plates towards each other and creates the sealing effect. An insulating air cushion is thus formed between the visor’s main plate – i.e. the outer plate – and the inner plate, which prevents any fogging up of the inner plate.

COATING

The main plate has a HighClear ® anti-scratch coating on both sides.

Note:

The helmet should never be used to hold gloves or any other objects as this may damage the scratch-sensitive Pinlock ® inner visor shield.

Note:

The Pinlock ® inner visor is supplied with a protective film.

Remove this film before using the helmet for the first time.

Note:

The Pinlock ® inner visor may only be used in conjunction with the SCHUBERTH main face shield that has been specially designed for this purpose. Other face shields must not be fitted.

Opening the face shield

To open the face shield, use your thumb to push the face shield up using one of the finger tabs situated to the left and right of the face shield, and move it to the desired position.

66

Face shield (including urban position)

The face shield can be locked in any one of seven positions.

The second position (urban position) locks in place more firmly, providing greater resistance when the face shield is in this position. This makes it easier to lock the face shield in the urban position, especially while riding.

When you push the face shield open, it may well travel beyond the urban position, but it is easy to find this position by moving it downwards again. The face shield mechanism requires no additional lubrication. The face shield can be operated at any time irrespective of the position of the sun visor.

Closing the face shield

To close the face shield, grip the finger tabs at top left and right and press the face shield down with one movement until it audibly locks into place.

REPLACING THE VISOR SHIELD

Changing the visor shield is easy to do without tools using the convenient EasyChange visor mechanism. To replace the visor, it is helpful to place the helmet on a flat surface or on your lap while seated.

67

D. THE HELMET

Removing the face shield

1. Move the face shield into the uppermost locked position.

2. Press the spring underneath the face shield mechanism on one side towards the face shield opening, then do the same with the spring on the other side.

3. Move the face shield upwards until it is released from the face shield mechanism.

Fitting the face shield

1. Using both hands, guide the face shields locking studs into the respective recesses in the face shield mechanism.

68

2. The face shield will then audibly lock into place when you press it gently towards the helmet with a simultaneous closing movement.

3. Make sure that the face shield mechanism is functioning properly by opening the face shield once to its maximum extent.

PINLOCK ® VISOR

Fitting

1. Lay the Pinlock ® visor in the face shield in such a way that one side of it is already slotted into the locking pin and the silicone seal is on the side facing the face shield.

2. Now grasp the other side of the

Pinlock ® visor by its upper and lower transverse edges and use your index finger to gently press the end of the visor into a slight

"S" shape. Now you can easily guide the slot over the locking pin and release the Pinlock ® visor into place.

69

D. THE HELMET

3. The Pinlock ® visor should now be positioned in the face shield with its lower edge parallel to the lower edge of the face shield. If you need to change the positioning of the Pinlock ® visor, use the balls of your thumbs to gently bend the face shield apart until the inner visor can be adjusted as required.

4. Check all round the visor to make sure that the silicone seal fits tightly and evenly against the face shield. Only if this is the case will the anti-misting properties function properly.

5. If you have not done so already, remove the protective film from the Pinlock ® visor

If the Pinlock ® visor is not air-tight and the face shield mists up, either the visor is not correctly in place or the pressure on the seal is inadequate. You can regulate the pressure on the seal by adjusting the eccentric locking pins. To do so, remove the Pinlock ® visor, then use a flat object with no sharp-edges to push the locking pins out of the face shield carefully from the inside; then rotate them by 180° and reinsert them. Fit the

Pinlock ® visor and check the seal.

Removal

1. Before starting to remove the

Pinlock ® visor, first lay the face shield on a soft, clean cloth so that its top edge is facing you.

70

2. To reduce the pretensioning of the

Pinlock ® visor slightly if necessary, use the balls of your thumbs to carefully bend the face shield sufficiently apart while applying pressure with your thumbs to release the Pinlock ® visor and move it approx. 2-3 mm forward.

3. Now grip the back of the Pinlock ® visor with your index and middle fingers and lift it off the face shield. In this position you can easily remove the Pinlock ® visor from the locking pin with your thumb.

4. You can now remove the Pinlock ® visor from the face shield.

Note:

• to avoid scratching the face schield, never remove or fit

the Pinlock ® visor unless the visor unit is clean and dry.

• When fitting the Pinlock ® shield, check that neither dust

nor moisture are able to get between the two plates.

• When removing or fitting the Pinlock ® visor, it is always

best to lay the face schield unit on a clean, dry cloth.

• Check regularly to ensure that the fit of the silicone seal

between the face shield and the Pinlock ® visor is tight

and even.

Note:

In view of the strong air pressure acting on the silicone seal when travelling with an open face schield, we recommend riding with a closed face schield at all times to prevent any dirt or moisture from getting inside the helmet.

71

D. THE HELMET

Note:

Never press the locking pins out with your fingers as they may break.

Caution:

As a result of the double shield lens structure, there is a possibility of greater light reflection in the face schield, especially when riding at night. As a rule, such light reflection is regarded as uncritical due to the absence of misting with this type of visor. However, if this light reflection should cause you difficulties - because of particular sensitivity to it, for example - you should refrain from using the Pinlock ® visor.

Caution:

If moisture is present in or has penetrated the airtight area between the two plates, you should remove the Pinlock ® visor immediately in order to prevent any interference with visibility. Do not re-fit it until both plstes are completely dry (we recommend air-drying). If you should subsequently detect any further penetration of moisture, the Pinlock ® visor should not be used on any account and must be replaced.

Safety note

Check before each journey that the face shield and suns visor mechanism are functioning correctly and that the face shield and sun visor will provide good visibility. Any dirt should be removed before setting off. Check the face shield and sun visor for physical damage and cracks. Severely scratched or matt face shields will seriously impair visibility and should be replaced before setting off on a journey.

Caution:

Petrol, solvent and fuel vapours can cause cracking of the face shield . Make sure that the face shield is never exposed to such vapours! Never place the helmet on the tank of your bike.

72

11. SUN VISOR

Sun visor

The sun visor is tinted grey and has a 3D shape. Thanks to the sun visor's 1.5mm thickness, it provides protection against small stone chips or insects when driving with the visor up. It is also scratch-resistant and offers effective UV protection* with its special polycarbonate structure.

* Tested in accordance with the Australian sunglasses standard AS/NZS 1067:2003 lens category 3.

Operation

The sun visor is operated by means of the slide positioned on the left in the chin area, which is easy to use even when wearing gloves.

Moving the slide towards the back lowers the sun visor, moving it forwards retracts the sun visor inside the inner helmet shell and locks it in position.

The sun visor can be operated irrespective of the position of the face shield.

Note:

Only use the slide to operate the sun visor.

Caution:

Never ride in the dark or in conditions of poor visibility with the sun visor down. Always raise the sun visor before entering a tunnel.

73

D. THE HELMET

Caution:

Riding without the face shield or with an open face shield can result in injury to the eyes and face from stones, dust, insects and other fl ying objects. The sun visor, when lowered, will offer a certain amount of protection from light impact from stones or insects but does not provide protection against all hazards.

REPLACING THE SUN VISOR

The sun visor can be replaced without tools.

Tip:

To avoid fi ngerprints and scratches, use a soft, clean cloth (we recommend a microfi bre cloth) to hold the sun visor when removing or fi tting it.

Tip:

Changing the sun visor is easier when the chin section is open and locked in place. It is also helpful if you place the helmet on a fl at surface or on your lap while seated.

Note:

Try to prevent the sun visor coming into contact with the helmet's inner shell when removing or fi tting it.

Removing the sun visor

1. Pivot the sun visor down.

2. Bend the middle snap connection with locating pegs gently outwards until the sun visor is released from the holder on one side.

3. Repeat this step for the other side.

74

Tip:

The sun visor holders should remain in the lower position until you re-fi t the sun visor.

Fitting the sun visor

1. Put the sun visor between the snap connections and fi t it on to the locating pegs on one side and then on the other.

2. Position the sun visor between helmet inner and outer shell and lower it with the operating slide.

3. For safety, check that the sun visor mechanism is functioning correctly

Warning:

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

12. INNER LINING

The replaceable inner lining of the S2 is washable and ensures both an excellent fi t and improved ventilation of the helmet.

The high-comfort cheek pads ensure that the helmet fi ts comfortably around the cheeks, and the headband pad provides an optimal fi t all around the head. The head pad sits comfortably on the head without covering the ventilation channels (see

Section D. 13, Ventilation systems/Head ventilation).

75

D. THE HELMET

All parts of the inner lining are made from materials that are gentle on the skin (especially those that come into direct contact with the head). The material used for the cheek pads is

Coolmax ® , a soft, breathable material that also conducts heat and moisture very well, while the headband pad is made from a special, cooling Thermacool material.

Removing the lining

Note:

When removing the lining, the cheek pads must first be detached before taking out the headband pad. When fitting the lining, remember to insert the headband pad before the cheek pads.

Removing the high-comfort cheek pads

1. Take hold of the sides of the acoustic collar and pull it out of its fitting.

2. Release the high-comfort chin pads by pulling the three red pins out of their plug fittings.

3. Take hold of the chinstrap pad and pull the loop of the neckband out from around the chinstrap.

4. Now pull the chinstrap backwards out of the cheek pad.

5. Pull the neckband out through the neckband channel.

6. Separate the chinstrap pad from the chinstrap by releasing the button fixing.

7. Repeat steps 2-5 for the second cheek pad.

76 77

D. THE HELMET

Fitting the high-comfort cheek pads

1. Button the chinstrap pad on to the chinstrap and thread the chinstrap through the loop on the chinstrap pad.

2. Thread the neckband through the neckband channel.

3. Push the chinstrap and chinstrap pad through the opening in the high-comfort cheek pad.

4. Now pull the loop of the neckband over the chinstrap and pull the neckband tight from the back.

78

5. Push the plastic tongue with round holes on the head pad over the pin sewn in to the back of the cheek pad and fix it in place using the red plug-in strip.

6. Fix the remaining two pins on the cheek pad into the red plug-in strips.

7. Replace the acoustic collar in the guide strip between the bottom edge of the helmet and the highcomfort cheek pads. Start inserting it at the back and slowly feed the acoustic collar along the guide strip.

8. Repeat steps 2 - 6 for the second cheek pad.

Note:

Ensure that the neckbands are not twisted.

79

D. THE HELMET

Removing the headband pad

1. First remove the high-comfort cheek pads.

2. The headband pad is attached to the inner shell by means of Velcro strips and clamps and can be removed by pulling it out carefully.

Fitting the headband pad

The plastic strip sewn into the front section and the clips in the neck area serve as attachments for the headband pad.

1. Slide the plastic strip gradually under the notches of the plastic strip attached to the inner shell.

2. Put the plastic tongue with the round holes over the pin sewn into the rear section of the cheek pad and fix this into place using the red plug-in strip.

Note:

When inserting the headband pad, make sure that the headband ventilation cut-outs are positioned over the ventilation channels at the back of the helmet and that the headband runs centrally between the two ventilation channels.

80

Caution:

Never ride when parts of the inner lining have been removed.

Caution:

Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage to the inner lining!

Note:

To avoid damage to the inner lining and inner shell, do not hang the helmet over the mirrors or handlebar grips.

13. VENTILATION SYSTEMS

Ventilation device 1 – face shield setting

The S2 has a face shield that adjusts to several positions. Depen- ding on your road speed and the tendency of the face shield to mist up, open the face shield sufficiently wide to stop it misting up but so that it still protects your eyes from excessive draft.

Urban position

In its second locking position, the face shield is automatically in urban position. Air entering through the bottom gap flows over the inside of the face shield and escapes through the opening at the top.

81

D. THE HELMET

Ventilation device 2 – inlet vent in chin area

(face shield ventilation)

To ventilate the face shield, the S2 is provided with an inlet in the chin area. Irrespective of riding posture, around 80-90% of the central airstream flows directly into this inlet when open. A deflector ensures that the air current ventilates the face shield effectively even at low road speeds. You can open and close the inlet by pushing the vent upwards or downwards.

Ventilation system 3 – head ventilation

There is a large air inlet cowl with a three-stage adjustable ventilation system on the top of the helmet shell for ventilating the top of your head.

Air entering the helmet through this inlet cowl is directed via channels to the top of the head. Inside the helmet, the head padding system enables direct contact between incoming air and the surface of the head, thereby conducting the heat away from the inside of the helmet quickly. The ventilation is adjusted by means of a slide on the air inlet cowl that is easy to operate even when wearing gloves. Moving the slide backwards to the first locking position produces partial ventilation, moving it further back opens the air inlet to its full extent.

82

Summer and winter adjustment

The ventilation of the S2 can also be adjusted to suit the seasons, weather conditions or your personal preferences. While you will prefer the cooling air current to flow directly on to your head in summer, in autumn/winter you can reduce the volume of incoming cold air, or divert it, by covering the ventilation channels with the head pad. To do so, raise the middle bar of the head pad slightly and fold out the fabric flaps located behind the front section.

Ventilation device 4 – interior air extraction

The S2 is equipped with an innovative air extraction system. Fresh air flowing in through the head vent is directed via the air channels in the inner shell to the back of the helmet.

The reduced pressure that prevails at the back of the helmet ensures that the air is constantly sucked out through the air vents and special netting material fitted to the neck pad, thus guaranteeing a pleasant climate inside the helmet.

83

D. THE HELMET

Ventilation device 5 – minimum level of fresh air

The special shaping of the top of the chin vent provides the helmet with a guaranteed minimum ventilation function that ensures a constant supply of fresh air. The air entering in this way is regulated so that the rider barely notices it, but it provides an effective supply of fresh air from a speed as low as 30 kph (provided the helmet is positioned fully in the air flow when travelling). This function counteracts any build-up of mist on the visor and any excessive concentration of CO

2

, even when the helmet is fully closed.

14. ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES

Anti-roll-off system (A.R.O.S.)

The anti-roll-off system specially developed by SCHUBERTH and provided as a safety feature in every SCHUBERTH motorcycle helmet ensures that, if the chinstrap is fastened and correctly adjusted a) the helmet cannot pivot off the head from behind, b) the risk of contact between the chin section of the helmet and the chin or neck of the rider is minimised due to the low angle of tilt and

84 c) the consequences of the helmet hitting the rib cage as the result of an accident are reduced.

Reflective panels

Together with the silver reflective strips located laterally at the back of the neck pad, the two reflective panels integrated into the left and right areas under the visor plate help make the motorcycle rider more noticeable on the road, especially in conditions of poor visibility. If the helmet is plain (no decoration), the SCHUBERTH name also appears on the front and back of the helmet in a reflective film.

Note:

Keep the reflective safety areas clean.

Note:

When riding in France, local law requires that further reflective safety stickers be attached to the front, back and both sides of the helmet.

85

E. PUTTING THE HELMET ON AND TAKING

IT OFF

1. PUTTING THE HELMET ON AND TAKING IT OFF

Note:

See section D.9. for operation of the chinstrap/fastener system

1. Open the chinstrap.

2. Take hold of the lower ends of the chinstrap and pull these apart.

3. It will now be easy to put the helmet on.

4. Fasten the chinstrap by pushing the ratchet tongue into the lock step by step so that you hear it engage properly.

5. Make sure the chinstrap passes under the chin and fits firmly.

Note:

Check that the chinstrap fits correctly and is adjusted to the correct length at regular intervals (see section F. 2.).

2. TAKING OFF THE HELMET

1. Open the chinstrap by pulling the red strap on the ratchet

fastener and thus releasing the locking buckle. Having done

this, pull the ratchet tongue out of the locking buckle.

2. Grasp the ends of the chinstrap and pull the chinstrap ends

apart.

3. The helmet can now be removed easily from the head.

Tip:

To avoid scratching any objects on which you place the helmet when you take it off, we recommend closing the chinstrap after you have taken the helmet off.

86

F. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY

For your safety, check the following points before every journey:

1. CHECKING THE HELMET

Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superficial scratches will not impair the protective function of your helmet. In the case of more serious damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking paint, etc.), the helmet should no longer be used. If you wish, you can send your S2 to the SCHUBERTH customer service department to be checked free of charge (see Section J.1. After sales service).

Note:

If you have lost a significant amount of weight, you should check that your helmet is still the right size for you.

2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP (with helmet on and fastened)

1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.

2. Slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull.

- If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is too long and

needs to be tightened.

- If the chinstrap loosens when you pull it, it is not properly

fastened. Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it

again. Repeat the test.

3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it fits firmly against the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you.

Note:

Repeat the test after each adjustment.

Caution:

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.

87

F. BEFORE EVERY JOURNEY

3. CHECKING THE FACE SHIELD AND SUN VISOR

Before every journey, check that the mechanisms of the face shield and sun visor are working properly and that the face shield and sun visor will provide sufficiently clear visibility. Any dirt should be removed before riding (for care instructions, see

Section H. 2.).

Check the face shield and sun visor for physical damage and cracks. A badly scratched face shield will considerably impair your vision and should be replaced before setting off on a journey.

Caution:

Never use tinted face shield or sun visor in conditions of poor visibility, when riding at night or in a tunnel.

Caution:

A scratched and/or dirty face shield will seriously impair visibility. For your own safety, replace it or clean it immediately.

Caution:

Make sure the face shield and sun visor are always in perfect condition. A damaged face shield is not suitable for riding and needs to be replaced.

Caution:

Stop riding if visibility is poor.

4. CHECKING THE REFLEKTIVE AREAS

Before every journey, check that all the safety reflective areas are clean.

G. FOR YOUR SAFETY

1. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE HELMET

Warning:

Never ride without a helmet!

Warning:

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. There are numerous variations in accidents; the protective capability of a helmet is difficult to measure at the time of purchase. It is impossible to make definitive statements on the actual protective effect of a helmet in the event of an accident. A safe riding technique that is adjusted to the particular road and weather conditions is essential for your safety.

Warning:

No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts!

There are limits to the physical size and weight of the helmet a person will wear. The ability of a helmet to protect the wearer is limited. No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts.

Warning:

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 and should provide adequate peripheral vision. 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

89

G. FOR YOUR SAFETY in an accident resulting in severe head injury or death. For detailed information regarding proper fit, see section D.

Warning:

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 (see section G.3.).

For checking instructions and procedure see also section F.

(before every journey) of this manual.

Warning:

Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact should be replaced!

Your helmet is designed to distribute the force incurred during an impact over a wide area. Even if your helmet looks visibly undamaged, its useful life has come to an end after only one impact during riding, i.e. an accident where you and your helmet hit the ground or an object. In an impact, the helmet’s impact absorbing liner becomes compacted.

Once this has happened, the helmet no longer has the ability to absorb further impacts. Your helmet may look the same, but it will not provide protection in an accident. Therefore, a helmet that has experienced an impact should be destroyed and replaced.

90

Warning:

Don’t mistreat your helmet !

Never ride with the helmet hanging from the helmet holder, and do not hang the helmet from angled supports such as a mirror. Do not sit on or throw your helmet. You should not expose the liner of your helmet to strong sunlight and excessive heat such as near heaters or where temperatures exceed 50°C (122°F). Avoid spraying insect repellent chemicals

(such as "naphthalene") near the helmet. Mistreating your helmet will damage the shell and impact absorbing liner, reducing the helmet’s ability to protect you in an accident.

Warning:

Don’t use the helmet for anything than motorcycling!

No helmet provides absolute protection from all conceivable impacts. This helmet has been specially developed for motorcycle riding. It may not be suitable for other purposes.

Warning:

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.

Warning:

Never use the helmet with the lining removed!

If the lining is not installed before use, the helmet may not fit properly and could come off in an accident, resulting in severe head injury or death. Excessive heat (e.g. exhaust heat) can cause damage tographics, the inner shell of the helmet and the interior lining!

Warning:

Never modify your helmet!

It is very dangerous to drill holes or to cut the shell and/or the shock absorbing liner. Modification can seriously weaken

91

G. FOR YOUR SAFETY the helmet. Modifying the retention system weakens it, increasing the likelihood of snapping during impact.

Removing parts such as the mouth guard or rubber face molding can expose edges that may injure you in an accident. Always use approved Schuberth parts when replacing shields, screws, or any other parts. A weakened helmet will not provide head protection.

Warning:

Do not repaint the helmet!

Repainting of your helmet is not recommended. Certain types of paint and thinner can damage the helmet and reduce its ability to provide head protection in an accident.

Warning:

Avoid direct contact with aggressive substances!

The direct effect of motor fuels, 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!

Warning:

Clean your helmet carefully!

For cleaning instructions see section H.1. (maintenance and care – outer helmet shell) of this manual.

Caution:

Do not carry the helmet on the motorcycle’s helmet storage lock while riding in order to avoid exhaust pipe burns, tire abrasion, and strap damage to the helmet.

Caution:

Keep the helmet outside the reach of pets to avoid the helmet being damaged by chewing, scratching or other mistreatment.

92

2. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING THE FACESHIELD / SUN VISOR

Warning:

Keep your helmet (faceshield and sun visor) in good condition!

If your faceshield or sun visor become too scratched or uncleanable, replace it with a new one. Impaired visibility causes accidents. Clean your faceshield and sun visor 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 faceshields and sun visor, as this will weaken the hard coating, damaging them. Do not drive with a dim or blurred shield. Impaired vision can cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death.

Warning:

Remove protective film before using the helmet!

The protective film fastened to the faceshield to protect it from scratches in transit must be removed before use.

Warning:

Keep the helmet away from aggressive substances.

Motor fuel and solvent vapor can cause the faceshield and sun visor to crack. Keep the faceshield and sun visor away from such vapors and do not allow kinds of substances to come into direct contact with the faceshield or sun visor!

For that reason, never place the helmet on the tank of your motorcycle.

Warning:

Don’t ride when visibility is poor!

Make sure the faceshield and sun visor are always in perfect condition. If for any reason, the visibility is poor, don`t ride.

Warning:

Don’t ride with a fogged up faceshield.

Never try to manually clean a fogged up faceshield while riding, this could cause an accident resulting in serious

93

G. FOR YOUR SAFETY personal injury or death. In light stages of misting you may either open the chin ventilation or the faceshield to the town position. If the fogging is not immediately reduced stop your ride.

3. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS / ACCESSORIES

Warning:

Do not modify your helmet.

Original parts (especially on the outer shell, inner shell and retention system) must not be modified or removed. The fitting of non-genuine, non-recommended parts can partially or completely counteract the protective function of the helmet and invalidate the DOT approval with all guarantee and insurance claims.

Warning:

Use only original parts.

Use only replacement parts and accessories expressly made for your helmet by SCHUBERTH!

Warning:

Never modify your helmet!

It is very dangerous to drill holes or to cut the shell and/ or the shock absorbing liner. Modification can seriously weaken the helmet. Modifying the retention system weakens it, increasing the likelihood of snapping during impact. Removing parts such as the mouth guard or rubber face molding can expose edges that may injure you in an accident. Always use approved SCHUBERTH parts when replacing shields, screws, or any other parts. A weakened helmet will not provide head protection.

94

Warning:

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.

Caution:

Do not carry the helmet on the motorcycle’s helmet storage lock while riding in order to avoid exhaust pipe burns, tire abrasion, and strap damage to the helmet.

Caution:

Keep the helmet outside the reach of pets to avoid the helmet being damaged by chewing, scratching or other mistreatment.

95

H. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

1. OUTER SHELL

To clean the helmet shell, you can use water, soapy water or one of the commonly available motorcycle shampoos, cleaners, polishes and plastic cleaners, or cleaning fluid. The use of water and soapy water is usually sufficient. Make sure when using the other cleaning materials that these do not come into contact with the visor, since these can cause damage to the visor and coating.

Warning:

Never use motor fuel, thinners, glass cleaner or other solvents to clean the helmet! Your helmet can be seriously damaged by these substances without visible damage.

Warning:

A helmet damaged or weakened by a cleaning agent may not provide head protection in an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death!

Warning:

Never use hot or salt water to clean the helmet. Your helmet can be seriously damaged by this treatment without damage being visible to you.

2. FACE SHIELD AND SUN VISOR

PINLOCK® VISOR

Outer surface of the face shield

Use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution (< 20 °C) to remove dirt from the outside of the face shield. To dry the face shield, use a lint-free cloth and apply gentle pressure.

96

Inside surface of the face shield

The inside surface of the face shield must only be cleaned with a soft cloth, which may be slightly dampened if required (we recommend a mocrofibre cloth). Do not use any cleaning agents.

SUN VISOR

The sun visor should only be cleaned with a soft and, if necessary, slightly damp cloth (we recommend a microfibre cloth). Do not use any cleaning agents.

Note:

Only use tepid water (< 20 °C) for cleaning. Never on any account clean the face shield or sun visor with petrol, solvent, a window or glass cleaner or other cleaning agents containing alcohol.

Note:

The face shield should not be soaked in water even if it is very dirty on the outside, as this will severely reduce the surface hardness and thus the durability of the anti-fog/anti-scratch coating.

Note:

The face shield should not be completely closed when not in use (particularly during periods of storage), as the moisture contained on the inside cannot escape if closed and will largely be absorbed by the anti-fog/anti-scratch coating. This can lead to a reduction in the lifespan of the coating. Ideally, position the face shield in the third locking setting above the urban position.

Note:

Never attach labels, adhesive tape or stickers to the face shield or sun visor.

97

H. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Tip:

Stubborn dirt on the outer surface of the face shield (e.g. dried-on insect remains) can be easily removed by covering the closed visor with a moist or wet cloth and allowing the dirt to soften for around 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Note:

Always avoid temperatures above 40 °C and high humidity when choosing a place to store the face shield, as these conditions can cause damage to the face shield.

3. INNER LINING

The inner lining of the S2 can be removed completely. The head and cheek pads can be washed by hand using a mild soap solution (e.g. with highly diluted standard mild detergent) at a maximum temperature of 30 °C. Allow the lining to dry at room temperature and with good ventilation. (For removal of the inner lining, see Section D. 12.)

Tip:

If required (e.g. during a break in a journey), the headband can be hung out to dry over the mirror.

4. VENTILATION

Ventilation cowl

When necessary, the head ventilation system’s air inlet cowl can be removed to clean the ventilation mechanism.

98

1. To do this, first remove the control unit by simply lifting it out of the ventilation cowl.

2. Then slide the flat end of the control unit under the edge behind the ventilation cowl and remove the latter by levering it upwards.

3. On completion of the cleaning, fix the ventilation cowl back in place by hooking it into the front of the ventilation mechanism and pressing it into the helmet shell until you hear an audible click.

4. When this has been done, insert the control unit through the ventilation cowl and into the ventilation mechanism.

5. LOCKING SYSTEM

Ratchet fastener

The metal components of the locking system do not require maintenance.

99

H. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

6. STORING THE HELMET

When not in use, keep the helmet in the supplied helmet bag in a dry, safe place. Always store the helmet so that there is no risk of it falling onto the floor. Damage caused this way is not covered by the guarantee.

Note:

Store the helmet out of reach of children and animals.

Note:

The active anti-fog coating also absorbs other chemical substances such as solvents and can be damaged by them.

Therefore, avoid storing the faceshield and sun visor in the vicinity of aggressive substances such as motor fuels.

I. ACCESSORIES AND SPARE PARTS

For safety reasons, only Customer Service Department should replace non-replaceable parts of the interior lining.

3. COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Caution:

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 ECE-R

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 ECE-R 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.

Your S2 is supplied ready for installation of the SCHUBERTH SRC-

System™ as standard. The S2 is already fitted with two integrated antennas to amplify reception and a Bluetooth connection, to provide you with the best possible radio reception.
