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.
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.
6
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:
Don’t ride with an open Face Shield!
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 flying 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.

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.
C.READ FIRST
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.
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:
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.

english
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 ride) 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
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.
9
C.READ FIRST
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.

1. CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS
The helmet conforms to the DOT 218 Standard and the ECE R 22.05
standard. These test standards guarantee conformity to defined
safety standards in respect of impact absorption, penetration
resistance, lateral rigidity, retention system and field of vision.
The approval guarantees that you have approval for the USA
and all the countries of the European Union as well as countries
which recognize the ECE R 22.05 or DOT 218 standard. It is only
legal to use it in countries where these standards are valid.

4. OUTER SHELL
The outer shell of the SR1 combines an aerodynamically optimal
shape.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. (care and
maintenance – outer shell) of this manual.
12
For optimized impact absorption properties, the inner shell of
the helmet consists of several components. This combination of
different elements 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. DOWN FORCE (D-FORCE) SPOILER
The SR1's D-Force spoiler can assist the rider in maintaining
proper head angle in differing riding conditions, and assure
optimal aerodynamic performance, by varying the amount of
downward force applied to the helmet by the airstream. Two
spoiler positions are available.
Down position: Standard downthrust,
recommended for motorcycles with high
fairing, and riding in an upright position.
Up position: Achieves 60 % greater
downward thrust, recommended for
motorcycles with low or no fairing, and
riding in a crouched position.

7. AERODYNAMICS
All SCHUBERTH motorcycle helmets are tested in SCHUBERTH’s
own wind tunnel, to optimize stability, reduce air resistance and
buffeting and to afford directional stability.
8. AEROACOUSTICS
We have paid particular attention to improving the acoustic
properties of the SR1 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.
** 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.
14
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.

D.THE HELMET
SOUND-REDUCTION SYSTEM
The innovative sound-reduction system allows the sound level in
the helmet to be varied, thus enabling sounds to be experienced
at different volumes. Two settings are available.
Open:
In this setting sound levels are higher.
Closed:
In this setting, sound levels are lower.
Warning:
Riding with the sound-reduction system in the closed
position can prevent the rider from hearing important traffic
and warning sound (e.g., horns, bells, approaching vehicles),
and is recommended only for open road, rather than traffic
conditions.
16
english
9. WIND DEFLECTOR (included with helmet)
By fitting the wind deflector supplied, undesired entry of wind
from the airstream can be prevented. The device also further
reduces the noise level in the helmet.
To fit, slide the retaining pocket of the
wind deflector gradually outwards from
the centre into the guide gap between the
interior of the helmet and the outer shell.
Tip:
The fit of the underside of the helmet is very important for
further reducing the sound level in the helmet. Take care to
ensure that the helmet is properly closed. For smaller neck
sizes we recommend that you wear a scarf.
10. RETENTION SYSTEM
The retention system on the SR1 consists of a chinstrap that is
further secured with neckbands at the rear of the shell (anti rolloff system, see section D.14).
CHIN STRAP WITH DOUBLE-D FASTENING
The double-D fastener lets you adjust the length of the chinstrap
easily and precisely every time you put on the strap and fits tightly
and individually to your chin.
Closing and pulling tight
1. Thread the free end of the chinstrap,
as shown in the pictures opposite,
through the double-D fastener.
17
D.THE HELMET
2. Pull the strap tight. The
chinstrap should be taut but not
uncomfortable. Then feed the free
end of the strap back through the
first ring of the fastener.
Tip:
To ensure the correct position we recommend that you grasp
the helmet by the sides with both hands and use gentle
rotating movements on the head, and then pull the chinstrap
tight again.
3. The free end of the strap is tucked
away and fastened by means of
the snap. This prevents the strap
from flapping in the wind.
Loosening and opening
1. Release the snap and pull on the
little red lug of the double-D
fastener so that the strap is
loosened.
2. Now thread the free end of the
chin strap out of the double-D
fastener.
Warning:
Never ride without ensuring that the chin strap is properly
fastened, correctly adjusted and in the right position. If the
chin strap is not properly adjusted or fastened, it is possible
that in the event of an accident the helmet could come loose
from your head.
18
english
Warning:
Never open the chin strap while riding.
11. Face Shield WITH INTEGRATED PINLOCK®-LENSE
The Face Shield with integrated Pinlock®-lense is a doublewall Face Shield that reduces fogging. 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 Face 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.
19
D.THE HELMET
Opening the Face Shield
To open the Face Shield, grip the finger tab
below the Face Shield on the left-hand
side using the thumbs and push the Face
Shield upwards to the desired position.
Closing the Face Shield
Grip the finger tab and push the Face
Shield downwards with a movement of the
hand.
Locking the Face Shield
To lock the Face Shield when fully closed,
move the operating element towards the
rear with a movement of the hand. To
release the Face Shield again, move the
operating element back to its original
position.

The Face Shield can be changed easily and with the convenient
push-release system. It is helpful when changing the Face Shield
to place the helmet on a flat surface or on your lap.
Removing the Face Shield
1. Close the Face Shield. Press the
button of the push-release Face
Shield mechanism on one
side and hold it down.
2. Move the Face Shield upwards until
it is released from its fixing.
3. Repeat steps one and two above
on the opposite side of the Face
Shield.
Fitting a new Face Shield
1. Using both hands, guide the catch
pins of the visor into the recess
provided for them in the visor
mechanism.
21

CHANGING THE Face shield
D.THE HELMET
2. Apply light pressure directed
towards the helmet and a closing
motion until the visor engages
audibly.
3. Check the functioning of the Face
Shield mechanism by opening it
until it hits the end stop and then
closing it again.
Replacement Face Shield with Pinlock®-Lense
Fitting
1. Lay the replacement lense 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
replacement lense 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 replacement lense into
place.
22
english
3. The replacement lense 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 replacement
lense, 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 replacement lense.
If the replacement lense 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
replacement lense, 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
replacement lense and check the seal.
23
D.THE HELMET
Removal
1. Before starting to remove the
replacement lense, first lay the
Face Shield on a soft, clean cloth
so that its top edge is facing you.
2. To reduce the pretensioning of
the Pinlock®-lense 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 replacement
lense and move it approx. 2 - 3 mm
forward.
3. Now grip the back of the
replacement lense with your
index and middle fingers and
lift it off the Face Shield. In this
position you can easily remove
the replacement lense from the
locking pin with your thumb.
4. You can now remove the
replacement lense from the
Face Shield.
24
Note:
• to avoid scratching the face schield, never remove or fit the replacement lense unless the visor unit is clean and dry.
• When fitting the replacement lense, check that neither dust nor moisture are able to get between the two plates.
• When removing or fitting the replacement lense, 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®-lense is tight
and even.
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 shield. However, if this light reflection should cause you
difficulties - because of particular sensitivity to it, for example you should refrain from using the replacement lense.
Caution:
If moisture is present in or has penetrated the airtight area
between the two plates, you should remove the replacement
lense immediately in order to prevent any interference with
visibility. Do not re-fit it until both plates are completely
dry (we recommend air-drying). If you should subsequently
detect any further penetration of moisture, the replacement
lense should not be used on any account and must be
replaced.
Safety note
Check before each journey that the Face Shield and sun 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.
25
english
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.
D.THE HELMET
Caution:
Gasoline, 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.
12. INNER LINING
The washable, replaceable inner lining of the SR1 offers not only a
superb shape but also improved entry and exit of air to and from
the helmet.
The cheek comfort padding and ear pads provide soft cushioning
to the cheeks and the headband cushion offers good positioning
around the head. The central head pad ensures comfortable fitting
to the head while ensuring that the air channels do not become
blocked (see Ventilation systems/Head ventilation, section D.13).
The inner lining consists of skin-friendly materials throughout,
particularly in areas that come in contact with the head. These
are a soft, breathable COOLMAX® material that transports heat and
moisture very well, a special noise-reducing Polygene® material
with antibacterial properties and a sweat-absorbing Interpower®
material.
REMOVING THE INNER LINING
The inner lining is affixed to the inner shell of the helmet by
means of a clamp fastening. It can be removed by pulling it gently
out.

into the guide gap between the
inner and outer shells.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with the other
cheek comfort pad.
Ear-Pads
The ear pads supplied as standard can be
positioned individually in the ear area
of the helmet by means of a Velcro-type
fitting. For stronger padding around the
ears, pads with other thicknesses are
available as accessories.
Note:
For an overview of all accessory and parts please visit
www.schuberth.com and check the ‘Accessories’ section
of your helmet model.
Note:
When fitting the inner lining, ensure that the ventilation
gaps of the head band are positioned over the ventilation
30
Warning:
Never ride with any part of the inner lining removed.
Warning:
Strong heat sources (such as from exhaust) may 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 handlebars.
13. VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation device 1 – adjustment of the Face Shield
(Face Shield ventilation)
The SR1 features a Face Shield that can be adjusted to various
positions. You can open the Face Shield depending on the speed
so much that your eyes remain protected from unpleasant air
draughts.
Ventilation device 2 – Face Shield ventilation
To ventilate the Face Shield, the SR1
features an inlet vent in the chin area.
Regardless of the positioning of the
helmet, some 80-90% of the air in the
central flow pattern flows into the open air
inlet. A deflector ensures that even at low
speeds the airflow ventilates the inner side
of the Face Shield effectively. Pressing on
the lower or upper part of the ventilation
element will respectively open or close
the air inlet.
31
english
channels in the rear of the helmet and that the headband is
situated in the centre between the two ventilation channels.
D.THE HELMET
Ventilation system 3 – head ventilation
(Proactive-Dynamic-Ventilation-System)
To provide ventilation to the surface of
the head, two air inlet fairings are fitted
on the upper side of the helmet shell. Air
entering these inlets is guided effectively
via channels to the top of the head. The
advanced cushion system inside the helmet
allows direct contact between incoming air
and the head, making the collection and
removal of heat from the interior through
the air outlet vents on the rear of the
helmet and in the embedded mesh fabric
in the neck area. Moving the ventilation
sliders to the rear position opens the
ventilation channels in the helmet; if they
are in the forward position, the ventilation
is closed. The level of ventilation varies
with the current speed and sitting position.
The maximum volume of air intake is
obtained by assuming a sports sitting
position.
Ventilation device 4 – interior air extraction
The SR1 is equipped with a constant air
extraction system. Air present in the
interior and entering via the ventilation
is guided via channels towards the rear
of the helmet. The reduced pressure
present to the rear of the helmet ensures
a constant suction of the air from the
inside through the air outlets under the
spoiler and in the special mesh material in
the neck cushion ensuring a comfortable
temperature inside the helmet.

Ventilation system 5 – chin ventilation
(2-way chin ventilation)
The advanced two-way chin ventilation
provides for fresh air at all times around
the chin. If required, fresh air entering
the air inlet can be diverted through air
channels in the cheek comfort pads in
such a way that moisture and heat in the
cheek pads can be effectively removed from
the helmet. You can set chin ventilation
as required by means of the operating
element on the chin.
Switch to centre – ventilation disabled
Switch to right – ventilation of cheek pads
Switch to left – chin ventilation enabled

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, when the chinstrap is fastened (see section
D.10 for operation of the chinstrap/fastener system) 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
c) the consequences of the helmet
hitting the rib cage as the result
ofan 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.
34
1. PUTTING ON THE HELMET
Note:
See section D.10 for operation of the chin strap and fastening
systems.
1. Open the chin strap.
2. Take hold of the lower ends of the chin strap and pull these
apart firmly.
3. Place the helmet on your head.
4. Close the chin strap by threading the free end of the strap
through the double-D fastener, pull taut and fasten.
5. Ensure that the chin strap passes under your chin and is taut.
Note:
Check the correct position and length of the chin strap
regularly (see section F.2 ‘Checking the chin strap’).
2. REMOVING THE HELMET
1. Open the chin strap by pulling on the red lug of the double-D
fastener and pulling the strap out from the metal eyes.
2. Grasp the ends of the strap and pull them firmly apart.
3. Remove the helmet from your head.
Tip:
To avoid scratching objects where the helmet may be placed,
we recommend you close the chin strap after you have taken
the helmet off.
35
english
E. PUTTING THE HELMET ON
AND TAKING IT OFF
F. BEFORE EVERY RIDE
For your safety you should check the following points before every
ride:
1. CHECKING THE HELMET
Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superficial scratches
will not affect the protection afforded by the helmet. If more
serious damage (cracks, dents, chipped and cracked lacquer, etc)
is present, however, the helmet should no longer be used. If
necessary we will check your SR1 for any damage at no cost
(see section J.1, 'Safety Check').
Note:
If your body weight has significantly reduced, you must check
whether your helmet is still the correct 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.
36
english
Warning:
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.
3. CHECKING THE face schield
Before every ride, check that the visor is fit for function and that it
offers sufficiently good vision. Remove dirt before riding (see ‘Face
Shield’, section H.2).
Check the visor for mechanical damage and/or cracks. A badly
scratched Face Shield is detrimental to vision and must be replaced
before riding.
Warning:
Scratched and/or dirty visors interfere seriously with vision.
Change or clean the visor for your safety.
Warning:
Ensure that the visor is always in good condition. Damaged
visors are not safe for riding and should be replaced.
Warning:
If visability is poor, stop riding.
Caution:
Never use tinted Face Shields in conditions of poor visibility,
when riding at night or in a tunnel.
37
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.
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 can 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. 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, see
section D.
38
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 ride) of this manual.
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.
39
english
Warning:
Always check your helmet before every ride!
G.FOR YOUR SAFETY
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
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!
40
english
Warning:
Clean your helmet carefully!
For cleaning instructions see section H.1. (care and
maintenance – 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.
2. SAFETY ADVICE CONCERNING the Face Shield
Warning:
Keep your helmet (Face Shield) in good condition!
If your Face Shield becomes too scratched or uncleanable,
replace it with a new one. Impaired visibility causes
accidents. Clean your Face Shield 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
Face Shields, as this will weaken the hard coating, damaging
it. 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 Face Shield to protect it
from scratches in transit must be removed before use.
41
G.FOR YOUR SAFETY
Warning:
Keep the helmet away from aggressive substances
Motor fuel and solvent vapor can cause the Face Shield and
sun visor to crack. Keep the Face Shield and sun visor away
from such vapors and do not allow kinds of substances to
come into direct contact with the Face Shield 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 Face Shield 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 Face Shield.
Never try to manually clean a fogged up Face Shield while
riding, this could cause an accident resulting in serious
personal injury or death. In light stages of misting you may
either open the chin ventilation or the Face Shield 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.
42
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.
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.
43
english
Warning:
Use only original parts.
Use only replacement parts and accessories expressly made
for your helmet by SCHUBERTH!
h.CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
2. Face Shield
PINLOCK® VISOR
Outer surface of the Face Shield
Use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution (< 70 °F) to remove dirt
from the outside of the Face Shield. To dry the Face Shield, use a
lint-free cloth and apply gentle pressure.
44
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.
Note:
Only use warm water (< 70 °F) for cleaning. Never on any
account clean the Face Shield or sun visor with gasoline,
solvent, a window or glass cleaner or other cleaning agents
containing alcohol.
3. Inner LINING
The headband cushion, the cheek comfort pads and the ear pads
can be hand-washed using a mild detergent (best if well diluted
with water) at a maximum temperature of 80 °F. Allow damp
linings to dry at room temperature in airy conditions.
4. FASTENING SYSTEM
The double-D fastening system is maintenance-free.
Warning:
Do not oil or grease the metal parts of the double-D fastener.
5. STORAGE
Store the helmet in the pouch provided in a safe, dry place. To
avoid buildup of moisture inside and to prolong the life of the
anti-fog coating, ensure that the visor is not completely closed.
Ideally it should be set to the 2nd position above the urban mode
setting. Always place the helmet so that it cannot fall onto the
floor.
Note:
Keep the helmet out of reach of children and animals.
