IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
6. SHIELD LOCK
The Shield Lock (6) is located in the front of the helmet and locks the Shield (4) in its closed position, as well as
prevents the Shield (4) from accidentally opening.
To open the Shield (4), put your finger under the tab in the middle front of the Shield (4) and push it up, this will
disengage the Shield (4) that will then be free for further upwards movement by using the central plastic grab point.
To close the Shield (4), pull it downwards by using the central plastic grab point, until the Shield Lock (6) tab locks it
automatically.
See Figure 12, page 7.
Always ensure that the Shield (4) is closed before commencing your ride. If the
Shield (4) is not fully closed, it could suddenly open during a fall, resulting in
serious consequences such as injuries or death.
Important! – If the helmet is dropped, damaged or incurs a significant impact it MUST NOT be worn, as helmets are
designed in such a manner so as to absorb the forces from an impact in the event of a fall through the partial or complete
destruction of the helmets outer and/or inner shell. Even if after such an incident, there may be no visible damage to the
helmet, the helmet MUST be replaced for safety reasons, as the helmet's ability to absorb future impacts is compromised.
If you have any doubts about the integrity of the helmet, consult Alpinestars or your local Alpinestars' Dealer.
Important! Remember that helmets block vision and sound, which may reduce your ability to safely ride your motorcycle.
Helmets may reduce your awareness of traffic and/or road conditions and your surroundings. Become aware of how your
perception of traffic, road and other surrounding conditions are affected by helmet use. Do not use the helmet if it restricts
the safe operation of your motorcycle.
7. REMOVABLE LINING
In order to facilitate cleaning of the helmet, it is possible to remove the helmet lining. Once removed, the lining parts
are washable by hand using warm water (max temperature of 30° Celsius) and neutral soap. Never use harsh cleaners
or other chemical substances, as they may damage the lining. Always dry the lining completely, without exposure to
direct heat.
Crown/Neck Pad removal and replacement: the Crown Pad (9a) and the Neck Pad (9b) are elastically connected
and must be removed together simultaneously.
Crown Pad (9a) is removable by pulling the front plastic frame inwards, and the Neck Pad (9b) is removable by pulling
the two rear studs inwards. To reinstall the Crown Pad (9a) and Neck Pad (9b), reverse the procedure.
See Figure 13, page 7.
Top Pad removal and replacement: the Top Pad (10) is removable by pulling the four studs (two in the front and
two in the rear) inwards. For better washing the Top Pad (10) can be removed from the plastic frame by extracting the

See Figure 14, page 8.
Cheek Pads removal and replacement: the Cheek Pads (11) are removable by pulling the plastic frames inwards on
both sides to disengage the pins from their retaining orange counterparts. Then pull outwards to release the neck roll

retaining orange counterparts and push until they lock.
Check that the Chinstrap (8) is in the correct position after installation.
