PINLOCK Lens Adjustment Two Component Pin Instruction Manual

PINLOCK Lens Adjustment Two Component Pin

Product Information

The product is a helmet with a Pinlock system, which includes a Pinlock lens and two pins on the helmet visor. The Pinlock lens is designed to provide an additional thermal barrier to prevent fogging on the inside of the visor. The pins have an excenter that
allows for adjusting the tension on the lens. The product also includes a silicon seal that ensures a proper seal between the lens and the visor.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Remove the helmet visor from the helmet according to the helmet manufacturers’ instructions.
2. Gently flex the helmet visor to release tension on the Pinlock lens. Carefully remove the Pinlock lens, avoiding touching the lens surface.
3. Take note of the position of the excenter on the pins before removing them.
4. The pins can be adjusted to provide low tension or high tension on the lens. The indicator on the pin shows the position of the excenter. Turning the pin so that the indicator points inward increases the tension on the lens.
5. Adjust the tension on the pins according to your preference.
6. Place the Pinlock lens between the two pins on the helmet visor, ensuring not to touch the lens surface. Place the silicon seal against the inside of the visor.
7. Allow the helmet visor to regain its curved shape. Check with natural light if the silicon seal on the Pinlock lens makes full contact with the helmet visor, as this is necessary for creating a thermal barrier.
8. Reinstall the helmet visor onto the helmet following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check if you can read the logo from the outside of the visor.

Pinlock offers four types of pins that all have an excentric shape to enable tension adjustment on the lens. This allows users to keep the airtight seal at a perfect pressure.
Each type of pin has its own instructions for installation. When installing a new Pinlock® lens for the first time, always make sure that the indicator (little arrow) of the pins are facing outwards.

7. Check the seal
   Carefully allow the helmet visor to reacquire its curved shape. Check with natural light if the silicon seal on the Pinlock lens makes full contact with the helmet visor. This is needed for to create the thermal barrier.

8. Reinstall the visor
   Fit the helmet visor back on the helmet. Check if you can read the logo from the outside of the visor.
