Care And Maintenance; Outer Shell; Face Shield And Sun Visor - SCHUBERTH S2 Handbuch

G. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. OUTER SHELL

To clean the helmet shell, you can use water, soap or one of the
commonly available motorcycle shampoos, cleaners, polishes,
plastic cleaners or cleaning fluids. Using water and soap is usually
sufficient. Make sure when using the other cleaning materials that
these do not come into contact with the face shield, since they
can cause damage to the visor and its coating.
Note:
Never use motor fuel, thinners or solvents to clean the
helmet. These substances can cause serious damage to the
helmet with no external signs. The full safety function of the
helmet can then no longer be guaranteed.

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.
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.
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.
