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.

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.
