F. Before every ride. SCHUBERTH SR1

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.

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.
