Important Safety Information

The instructions in this manual are designed to help you select the right helmet, wear it properly, take care of , and know when toreplace it Failure to follow thes instruction may increase your risk of serious injury or eath in an accident.
In order to get the most protection possible from your helmet. you should always do the folowing:

• Wear your helmet when you ride;
• Handle your helmet carefully to avoid accidental damage; and
• Ride safely — do not take risks because you are wearing a helmet.

Although your HJC helmetis designed to reduce or prevent some injuries when wom, no helmet can protect you from all possible o foreseeable impacts. For example, your helmet cannot protect you from spinal or neck injuries. n additon, there i no guarantee  that your helmet will PREVENT injures 1o the area of your head thatis covered. A low speed accident may even resultin serous njury or death

Selecting the Right Helmet

This helmet does not provide as much coverage or protection as a full face helmet.
You can get more protection by purchasing a helmet with greater head coverage.

Never buy a used helmet or borrow someone else’s helmet. Over time the protective foam in helmets will adjust to the contours of a user’s head. A used or borrowed helmet may not offer as much protection as a new helmet.

Wearing the wrong size helmet can increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident. A helmet that is too large for your head may be dislodged or knocked off in an accident. To select the right size helmet for your head, follow these instruction :

1. Measure your head. Wrap a tape measure around your head about one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows.
2. Use the sizing chart to select the helmet size that corresponds most closely to your head measurement. if your head size falls between two helmet sizes, try on the larger helmet first and then the smaller size.

   **| XS| S| M| L| XL| 2XL**
   ---|---|---|---|---|---|---
   Hat Size| 6 3/4 – 6 7/8| 6 7/8 – 7| 7 1/8- 7 1/4| 7 1/2 – 7 3/8|  7 1/2 – 7 5/8| 7 3/4 – 7 7/8

The size chart is only for reference. Always try the helmet on and follow this manual’s instructions for a proper fit.

3. Try on the helmet by grasping both thin straps to pull the helmet completely onto your head, ensuring that the top of your head is in contact with the top of the helmet interior.

4. Check for a proper fit. To make sure your helmet is the right size, check that :
   • The helmet inner lining fits snugly around your head.
   • The top pad presses firmly on your head.
   • The cheek pads contact your cheeks.
   • There is no space around your brow under the inner lining. Test this by trying to insert your fingers. If the helmet does not fit snugly, try on a smaller size.

5. Check your field of vision when trying on a helmet. Some helmets may obstruct or block your vision when looking left, right, up, or down.
   Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your motorcycle.

6. Test the helmet fit by placing your hands on each side of the helmet. While holding your head as motionless as possible, try rotating your helmet from left to right then up and down. If you can feel the helmet padding sliding on your head, it is too big, try a size smaller. You should feel the helmet move the skin on your head and face as you try to move the helmet.

7. Fasten the retention system (chin strap) as tight as possible under your jaw without causing pain. There must be no slack in the strap, and the strap must be tight up against your jaw. See page 3-4.

8. Test the retention system (chin strap)
   • Put your hands on the back of the helmet and try to push the helmet off by rotating it forward.
   • Put your hands on the front of the helmet above your forehead (or on the chin guard) and try to push the helmet off by rotating backward.
   If helmet comes off or shifts over your eyes, try another size or another model or brand. You must be able to see the edge in your upper field of vision.

Repeat steps 3 throught 8 until you find a helmet that fits your head snugly and securely.

Using Your Helmet Correctly

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and to help prevent damage to your helmet :

• Never adjust your helmet accessories while riding — Only make helmet adjustments when stopped.
• Never drop your helmet — Dropping your helmet may crack the shell or damage the protective foam. The damage may not be visible. Your helmet is only designed for ONE impact. Refer to “Helmet Replacement” (p. 7) for more information on what to do after helmet has been dropped.
• Never wear anything between your head and your helmet — this may reduce the effectiveness of your helmet.
• Never hang or hook your helmet on anything including mirror stalks or sissy bars – Doing so may cause damage to the helmet protective foam or liner.
• Never use insect repellent on or around your helmet — insect repellant may damage your helmet’s visor(shield), shell, protective foam, or other components.
• Never expose helmet to gasoline or gasoline fumes — Gasoline may damage your helmet’s visor(shield), shell, protective foam, or other components.
• Never use a dark or tinted face visor(shield) at night or in low visibility conditions. – If you have any questions on what other substances may damage your helmet, please contact us.
• Always wear eye protection — If you are not using a helmet with a face visor(shield), always wear eye protection when riding. Always lock your face visor(shield) in place when you are riding.
• Always be alert for sounds — Your helmet may impair your hearing. However, your helmet is not a form of hearing protection.
• Always store your helmet in its helmet bag when not in use to help reduce accidental surface damage.

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, always use your helmet correctly.
Inspect your helmet
To ensure that your helmet is in the best condition to maximize your protection, always inspect your helmet for damage before riding :

• Check the visor(shield) and visor(shield) ratchet — re-tighten visor(shield) ratchet screws if necessary. Be sure not to over-tighten any screws. Plastic base plate screws can break and plastic screws can strip the screw sleeves if over-tightened.

• Check for helmet damage. If your helmet is damaged or cracked, stop using it immediately. See “Helmet Replacement” (p. 7) section for further information. If your helmet has been dropped, you may not be able to see the damage.

• Check for worn or damaged parts. Plastic components may wear out over time. If you find wom or damaged parts, replace them or purchase a new helmet. See “Replacement Parts” (p. 7) for information on parts replacement.
  If parts fall off while riding, your vision may be blocked which could cause an accident.

• Check the retention system (chin strap) for damage. If it is frayed or ripped, replace the helmet.

• Check that all pads are in place. Both of the cheek pads and the crown pads must be in place.

Check Your Face Visor(Shield)
If your face visor(shield) is scratched or damaged it may reduce the visibility-replace if necessary.
Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your motorcycle.
Fasten the Retention System
Fasten the retention system (thin strap) as tight as possible under your jaw without causing pain. There must be no slack in the strap, and the strap must be snug up against your jaw. If the retention system is not tight, your helmet may become dislodged or knocked off in an accident.

Double “D” Ring

Do not rely on the snap to secure the helmet. The snap is providedonly to prevent the strap from flapping in the air. Fasten the retention system only in the following manner:

Maintaining Your Helmet Correctly

Shell Cleaning

Do not apply paint, stickers, petrol, or other solvents to this helmet.
Only use approved methods to clean the helmet. Using other unapproved chemicals or methods may damage the helmet shell or lining. A damaged helmet may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Glossy Finish. HJC recommends cleaning your helmet with products designed for automotive cleaning and polishing. All HJC helmets are finished with an automotive type base coat/clear coat finish. Rubbing compounds can be used for deep cleaning to remove many scratches and scuffs. Follow the product’s instructions diligently. Over polishing with rubbing compounds can cause light abrasions which may dull the finish of your helmet. Stickers and decals will leave adhesive residue when removed. To remove the adhesive residue, use alcohol swabs. Be certain to immediately wipe away the excess liquid and clean the area with soap and water once the adhesive residue is removed. Do not use excessive pressure while rubbing when attempting to remove the adhesive residue, instead use multiple light treatments.
Non-Glossy Finish. For our flat finish (non-glossy) helmets, we recommend using warm water and mild soap. Use multiple treatments for heavier dirt. Do not use excessive pressure or rubbing compounds while cleaning the surface as a “glossy” effect could be created, running the flat finish appearance.

1. Please clean helmets from dust, bugs or grass within one day.
   ■ Cleaning progress

1. Clean the helmet with warm water and cloth.
2. If there are any remains left, dry the helmet and remove any remaining contamination with rubber eraser.
   Do not use any alcohol or thinner to clean the helmet because they may damage the paint.

2. Avoid oil contamination as it is extremely difficult to clean once exposed.

Interior Cleaning
Although we recommend changing a helmet every 3 to 5 years, the accumulation of sweat, humidity and dirt can deteriorate the fabric and stitching and this may cause odor. To wash HJC removable pads, hand washing is recommended. If you use a washing machine, please use on “Delicate” setting and air dry. HJC do not recommend using spin-dryer for the interior pads as it may damage the material. For non-removable interiors, HJC recommends using anti-bacteria and mildew eliminating products such as “Helmet Fresh.” or other similar product.
Vent Cleaning
Dirt and debris can find its way into venting of your HJC helmet. Compressed air cans used for cleaning computer keyboards may be used to blow the debris from the ventilation system. It is recommended that you remove any removable pads before doing this process.
Visor(Shield) Cleaning
The helmet visor(shield) is made of polycarbonate materials with a polyurethane abrasion resistance coating. It should be cleaned using mild soap and warm water. Never use hot water, salt water, benzene, thinner, gasoline or any other harsh agents. Additionally the use of commercial visor(shield) cleaners is not recommended because they may affect the quality of the visor(shield) material. Treat carefully when cleaning the visor(shield) to preserve the abrasion resistant coating.
When deep scratches are visible, it is highly recommended that the helmet visor(shield) be replaced. Tinted visor(shield) are for “Day time use only” and are not suitable for use at night or in conditions of poor visibility.

1. Gently pry the check pad away from the interior, releasing the snaps.
   

Cheek Pad Installation

1. Feed the chin strap through the opening in the cheek pad.
2. Clip the cheek pad’s 3 small male snaps to the 3 female snaps fixed on the shell interior.
   

Crown Pad Removal

• It has suffered an impact. Your helmet is only designed for ONE impact. An impact may fracture the outer shell or compress the impact absorbing liner. You may not be able to detect this damage. Any impact in a crash or a drop from as low as 4 feet is enough to damage your helmet.
• The shell, lining, or retention system is damaged. The helmet shell, the impact absorbing lining, and the retention system must be in good condition to provide you with the most protection.

Even if your helmet has not been damaged, it needs to be replaced every 3 to 5 years depending on how much you use it. Over time, UV rays and adhesive and component aging will damage your helmet. Wearing a damaged helmet may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident. If you are unsure if you need to replace your helmet, contact HJC Europe before using your helmet again. Helmet Disposal If you buy a new helmet, destroy the old one to ensure it cannot be reused. Do not sell or give away your old helmet, even if it has not been damaged. Over time the protective foam in the helmet will adjust to the contours of your head. If someone else uses this helmet it will not provide them with as much protection.
