to the essential components. It must be used exclusively for the activity for which it has been certified (see marking). Warning: a helmet cannot
always protect you from injury. In particular, it is important to remember that no helmet can protect your head from the forces generated by violent
impacts. After a violent impact, even if no damage is visible, replace the helmet, as it may have exhausted its capacity to absorb further impacts
and provide the expected protection. Warning: this helmet complies with the retention requirements of the above standards only when worn with
the chin strap closed and adjusted according to the instructions in this information note. Warning: The helmet is made of hypoallergenic materials,
however some particularly sensitive users may experience allergic reactions. In this case, we recommend that you stop using the helmet and, if
necessary, consult a doctor. Warning: Modifications to the helmet are not permitted. Do not apply labels and/or stickers that do not comply with
the manufacturer's specifications. Do not paint the helmet. Any intervention or modification not authorized by the Manufacturer can compromise
the protective function of the helmet and will void the product warranty. Warning: the helmet complies with the EN 1385:2012 standard only when
all the components of the 'Protective panels' accessory are correctly mounted. KASK S.p.A. declines all responsibility due to incorrect assembly. For
the correct assembly of the accessory, refer to the information note. Warning: the helmet must not be used by anyone who has not been trained in
