MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Remove the Pinlock ® inner visor from the visor. Using a damp and soft cloth, gently
clean it with neutral liquid soap. Remove the soap under running water.
Dry the inner visor with dry and lukewarm air without wiping it.
To keep the features of the inner visor in good conditions over time, let the helmet dry
in a ventilated and dry place with the visor open after use.
Keep it away from heat sources and store it in a place away from direct light.
Do not use solvents or chemical products.
VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS)
®
The new and exclusive inner Vision Protection System (VPS) is a -moulded
sun screen with scratch-resistant and anti-fog treatment. Using it is very simple and
practical: Just lower it to activate it or lift it to remove it from the field of vision. It is
useful in all sorts of situations, both on long journeys out of town and shorter town
trips.
Moreover, the fastening system allows you to assemble and disassemble the sun
screen without any tools to allow ordinary maintenance and cleaning operations.
VPS OPERATION
The VPS mechanism allows activating the sun screen easily and without operating on
the visor, by simply lowering it until it partially covers the visor field of vision. In this
way, the desired light transmittance reduction is achieved. At any time, without ope-
rating the visor, the VPS can be deactivated with a simple movement and easily pul-
led up to restore the normal conditions of visibility and protection guaranteed by the
approved helmet visor.
To activate the VPS, push the slider forward (Fig. 8 B) until you hear the click, which
means the slider and VPS are correctly in place.
To deactivate the VPS push the recovery button (Fig. 8A) until the VPS unlocks and
moves automatically in standby position.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

The current approval standards (ECE22-05) state that the visor minimum light tran-
smittance levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not less than
50% when riding during the day. For this reason, when riding during the day under
particularly bright weather conditions, e.g. very strong sunlight caused by high inten-
sity and/or incidence of the sunbeams, the use of sunglasses - which have a tran-
smittance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not absolutely neces-
sary, to reduce eye fatigue on long trips. Sunglasses also reduce the risk of direct
dazzling as opposed to the use of mere approved visors. However, the use of sun-
glasses makes it difficult to perform in emergency situations when the maximum visi-
bility range of the visor must be quickly restored. Just think, for example, of what
happens when you enter a tunnel or when unexpected changes in environmental bri-
ghtness occur. Thanks to its operating mechanism, the VPS makes these operations
much easier.
