MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF THE HELMET

  WARNING

The helmet and its components may be seriously damaged by some common substances without the damage being Use only lukewarm water and mild soap for maintenance and cleaning operations; dry at room temperature away from the sun and/or heat sources.
Never use petrol, thinner, benzene, solvents or other chemical substances, paints, and adhe- sives for maintenance and cleaning operations. These can irreparably damage the helmet and its components, modify its optical properties, reduce its mechanical properties and weaken the protective treatment of the visor and/or sunscreen that may be present in the helmet.

DUAL ACTION

This unique chin guard opening system – positioned in the centre of the chin guard – al- lows for easy, one-handed opening and prevents it from accidentally opening. The chin guard can only be opened after operating the first red lever (release lever) and then the second red lever (opening lever).
The configuration with chin guard open and VPS raised is recommended to ensure a better fit of the helmet.

CHIN GUARD OPENING

• Push the red release lever outwards by turning it with your thumb (Fig.1).
• Place your forefinger on top of the opening lever and push it downwards to lock the chin guard (Fig.2).
• Pull the chin guard forwards and then follow its rotation upwards (Fig.3).

If the helmet is used with chin guard open (J configuration), it is recommended that you place the left side locking slider in position “J” to secure the chin guard in lifted position (Fig.4B).

CHIN GUARD CLOSING WARNING

When the left side locking slider is in position “J” do not force the closing of the chin guard because it could damage the helmet’s closing mechanism. Move the locking slider to position “P” (Fig.4A) to close the chin guard.

• Pull the chin guard downwards, following its rotation, until you hear the closing mechanism clicking (Fig.3).
• Make sure the chin guard is correctly fastened by pulling it forwards and by check- ing that both sides remain fastened to the

When the left side locking slider is in position “P”, the chin guard can be opened and/or closed (Fig.4A).
When the left side locking slider is in position “J”, the chin guard cannot be closed and remains blocked in open position (Fig.4B).

WARNING

– The protection level of this helmet whilst riding depends on the configuration adopted by the user: total protection if the chin guard and visor are closed, partial protection if the chin guard and/or visor are open.

• Do not remove nor tamper with the fixing screws that connect the chin guard to the shell.
• Do not use the helmet without chin
• Never use the helmet in case of malfunctioning and/or damages of the chin guard opening system. In case of doubts regarding the correct operation of the chin guard opening mechanism, contact a Nolangroup authorized

 VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) – (VPS-16)

The exclusive inner VISION PROTECTION SYSTEM (VPS) is a LEXAN™ (*) polycarbonate moulded sunscreen with scratch-resistant/fog-resistant treatment. It is very simple and practical to use: just lower it to activate it or lift it to remove it from your 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 for ordinary maintenance and cleaning, using no tools.

OPERATION

The VPS mechanism allows to activate the sunscreen by simply lowering it until the visor field of vision is partially covered. In this way, the light transmittance is reduced as desired. At any time, without operating the visor, the VPS can be deactivated with a simple movement and easily lifted up to restore the normal conditions of visibility and protec- tion guaranteed by the approved helmet visor.

• To activate the VPS, move the slider as in Fig.10 until you hear a click that means that the VPS is in the desired position.

The VPS is adjustable in a range of intermediate positions to ensure the best comfort for the user with respect to the terms of use.

• To deactivate the VPS, press the recovery button as shown in 11 until the VPS unlocks and moves automatically in standby position.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Current homologation standards (ECE22-06) establish that the minimum light transmit- tance levels of visors should be no less than 80%; for homologated sunscreens, the minimum transmittance level should be no less than 20%.
This regulation also provides for the simultaneous use of the visor and sunscreen, both as standard.

WARNING

• We recommend you to use the VPS only and solely together with the homologat- ed standard visor, which has a transmittance value greater than 80%.
• The VPS does not replace the protection guaranteed by the

 LINER POSITIONING CONTROL (LPC)

ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE LINER

The different anatomic shape of riders heads at times requires the position of the hel- met to be adapted to the head in question. The LINER POSITIONING CONTROL (LPC) enables the position of the liner to be adjusted. This means that, unlike a standard helmet, the position of the helmet on the rider’s head can be changed without changing the size of the helmet, making it adaptable to multiple needs.
To adjust the liner, proceed as follows after releasing the rear part of the liner (see instructions above).

• Release the liner adjustment rear flap from the central locking pin on the rear frame of the liner (Fig.23).
• Pull the adjustment rear flap and fasten it to the central pin in one of the other 7 possible snap positions.
• By pulling the adjustment rear flap of the liner, the helmet is gradually posi- tioned higher on the head snap after snap.
• Fully reassemble the liner into the helmet (see instructions above) being careful to correctly insert the adjustment flap into the cavity between the outer shell and the polystyrene inner shell.
• Put on the helmet and check that the helmet is comfortable and suitably posi- If it is not, adjust it again.

WARNING

After adjusting the position of the liner, put on and fasten the helmet to check the correct adjust- ment of the chin strap (see attached label), the correct positioning of the helmet on your head in the riding position and the taking off (see “SAFETY AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE” above).

 WIND PROTECTOR

(Available as standard or accessory/spare part)
This accessory allows improved helmet performance under certain conditions of use. The Wind Protector reduces unpleasant infiltrations of air under the chin.See Fig.25 for assembly and disassembly instructions.

 VENTILATION SYSTEM

The ventilation system of the helmet consists of:

Lower ventilation

It allows ventilation around the mouth and channels the air directly on the visor to reduce fogging.
See Fig.26 for opening and closing instructions.

Top ventilation

It allows diffuse ventilation to the top of the head, even at low speed. See Fig.27 for opening and closing instructions.

Rear ventilation

It is integrated in a rear spoiler and allows warm and stale air to flow out ensuring an optimum comfort inside the helmet (Fig.28).

SETTING UP THE N-COM – HELMET COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

(Available depending on the product version)
Your helmet is factory-preset to be equipped with the N-Com communication system. If your helmet is homologated according to ECE/UN Regulation No.22, it has also been tested and homologated with the N-Com system installed. Installing a system other than the N-Com affects the helmet’s regulatory compliance.
During the communication system installation (see the specific instructions in the N-Com kit), it will be necessary to remove from the helmet the foam material fillers located in the polystyrene cheek pads next to the N-Com earphones housings.
The above-mentioned fillers should only be removed if the helmet is used with a compatible N-Com system installed.
