Introduction

Congratulations on acquiring a premium ScorpionExot helmet. This helmet embodies the latest, state-of-the-art design, engineering and technology available in the market today and is an excellent investment for your comfort and protection.
Please remember that no helmet can protect you against all possible or foreseeable impacts even when built with the latest and best materials and technology. The following information will help you to enjoy and properly care for your helmet.

Function

A helmet% main function Is to protect your head from impact in case of an accident. To accomplish this, a helmets surrounds your head with a matrix of materials designed to absorb and cushion Impact energy In some accidents. A helmet is also designed to provide you with comfort while riding at speed and in various weather conditions. Yet, there is a trade-off: A helmet decreases hearing sensitivity, peripheral vision and physical movement to a certain extent while providing protection and comfort

Fit

It is important for maximum safety that your ScomionExcP helmet fit snugly and comfortably on your head with the retention strap (chinstrap) properly and snugly fastened. With the chinstrap firmly fastened, grab the back of the helmet with both hands and try to roll the helmet forward. If you can roll the helmet over the eyes, it is too loose and you should try another size of helmet.

Faceshields

The face shield on your ScorpionExcP helmet provides protection from the weather, small flying objects and wind. Tinted shields are available to protect your eyes from excessive sunlight. The ScorpionExar SpeedViewe internal sun visor system allows you to instantly tint the sunlight.
NEVER USE A DARK OR TINTED FACESHIELD OR SPEED VIEW VISOR IN DARK OR POOR VISIBILITY RIDING CONDITIONS. This is not only unsafe but also illegal in most countries.
NEVER WEAR A FACE SHIELD THAT HAS BECOME SCRATCHED OR WORN OUT OR RIDE WITH A FACESHIELD THAT IS FOGGED BY CONDENSATION. SCORPIONID(0° FACE SHIELDS (CLEAR AND SMOKE ONLY) COME WITH A SCRATCH-RESISTANT COATING. The face shields and sun visors are coated, which also loses their capacity In about 2 years. For this reason, we recommend that you change your visor at least every two years with a new one.

Ventilation Systems

Ventilation systems are designed and engineered to maximize your comfort in a wide range of temperatures. Familiarize yourself with the vents on your street helmet. Some vents have detents allowing partial opening and closing, thereby controlling intake and exhaust airflow. Your helmet ventilation systems should be kept clear of any obstructions including dirt, insects, or other items which could interfere with the proper flow of air. The ventilation systems play an important role, especially during physical exertion or hot-weather riding. Ventilation helps decrease the possibility of fogging on the face shield.

**SpeedView®

Internal Sun Visor**

USING THE SUN VISOR
NOTE:
THE RETRACTABLE INTERNAL SUN VISOR CAN BE LOWERED AND RETRACTED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE FACESHIELD IS UP OR DOWN.

REMOVING THE SUN VISOR NOTE: FIRST, OPEN THE OUTER SHIELD TO THE HIGHEST POSITION. THEN LOWER THE SUNV1SOR TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POSITION. To remove the sunvisor, firmly hold the sunvisor with your hand and gently pull one side out away from the helmet to release. Repeat to release the opposite side. Reverse process for installation.
Faceshield Replacement
NOTE: THE FACESHIELD CAN ONLY BE REMOVED OR INSTALLED WHEN IN THE FULLY OPENED POSITION!!!
To remove the face shield, place the helmet in front of you with the eye-port facing away. Ratchet the faceshield up to the fully open position. Using both hands, push up the Y shape release latchet upward and the shield is able to release out of the locking mechanism. Then, with both of your thumbs pushing squarely on the center of the Ellis-TecE II, gently pull or “peel” the Faceshield away from the helmet. To install the face shield, make sure the Faceshield axis (1) and the stopper (2) are positioned properly as shown in the below picture. Then push the axis (1) first, and then push the stopper (2) strongly so that they can be set on the right track. Test the face shield by opening and closing it several times to verify it is properly installed.

IMPORTANT NOTE : Be sure to latch-up the “V” release latchet while removing the face shield!

KwikWIck® Ill Liner Removal

Reverse this process to re-install.
CROWN LINER REMOVAL
Occasionally the crown liner may require removal for washing, replacement or to change sizes.

  1. Remove the cheek pads.

For installation, reverse the above process and double-check that the cheek pad snaps are in the down location. They may have slid up upon removal (as part of the Emergency Release System).
Slide the snaps back down to their original position before reinstallation.
WARNING
Small neodymium magnets are used for easier operation. The magnet force is not very strong, and generally, each magnet size is not considered as dangerous. However, consult your physician before using if you are a pacemaker wearer, and/or not sure about the effect caused by their magnets.
DO NOT attempt to adjust the liner while riding.
Emergency Release System

Securing and Wearing Your Helmet
Do not simply pull your helmet down onto your head like a hat. Your ScorpionExo® helmet should be worn as follows: Using both hands grab the helmet’s bottom rim while holding the chin straps with your thumbs. Then “roll” the helmet onto your head starting at the forehead. Continue rolling the helmet on towards the back of the head until it comes to rest with your head fully in contact with the inner lining and cheek pads.
HOW TO USE CHINSTRAP**

  • Lead chinstrap through eyelets of both rings.
  • Curl back and thread through taller ring with nylon pull-tab.
  • Securely tighten strap until comfortable and safe.
  • Press and snap buttons together to manage excess strap.

FIRMLY AND SECURELY FASTEN YOUR CHINSTRAP Check your chinstrap for tightness occasionally as vibration or wind may loosen it.

Cleaning Your Helmet System

None of the components of your ScorpionExo® helmet can be damaged by water. All headliners and sweat-wicking cheek pads are machine washable. Wash them with a mild detergent in warm water and allow to air dry. Hand washing is recommended, but machine washing is also permitted. Use the “delicate” cycle to prevent the agitator from damaging the sweat-wicking material covering the liner parts, we recommend to place the parts in a wshing bag.
Do not place lining parts in the dryer: Excess heat may damage the foam and coverings. The faceshield may be cleaned with plastic polish or mild soap and water. The shell of your helmet should be cleaned using only a mild detergent and water. NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED CHEMICALS, SOLVENTS, GASOLINE, CLEANING AGENTS OR STICKERS to clean the shell, liners or faceshield of your helmet. Your helmet shell, liner and faceshield may be seriously damaged by the use of such products.

DO NOT drop your helmet from any height onto a hard surface. This could cause damage to your helmet’s finished and/or decrease its ability to protect you.
DO NOT place your helmet on your motorcycle’s rearview mirror: The sharp pressure from the mirror’s edge will compress and damage the helmet’s shock- absorbing liner.
