WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

1.  This helmet is for use only with motorcycles ridden on the street or other paved surfaces.
   Never use this helmet off-road, on snowmobiles, in automobiles, etc.

2. Always ride with care. Even though this helmet meets or exceeds many of the world’s most demanding standards for helmet production, no helmet can protect the wearer from all foreseeable high or low-speed impacts. All safety equipment has limits, and you could still sustain a head injury in an accident even if you are wearing a helmet. However, for maximum protection against death or permanent impairment from a head injury, the helmet must fit firmly on your head and the chinstrap must be securely fastened as described in this manual.

3. The helmet is designed to absorb impact by partial destruction of the shell and/or liner. This damage may not be visible to you. Therefore, if your helmet is subjected to any impact, even if it is only dropped to the ground, the helmet should be returned for inspection or replaced and destroyed even if it is apparently undamaged. If you have any doubts, and you are not sure whether this rule applies, consult your dealer before you use your helmet again.

4. A helmet, like all products, may wear out over time depending on the conditions of use. Please check your helmet every time you use it for evidence of damage or wear. The helmet should always fit snugly all-around your head. If it is not snug, it has become too big for you and should be replaced. Never wear a damaged helmet. Even if the helmet does not show any evidence of damage or wear, we recommended the helmet to be replaced five years after it is first purchased.

5. Make no modifications whatsoever to your helmet. Never drill or cut any component of the helmet. Modifications can significantly weaken your helmet, thereby eliminating its ability to protect you from an impact.

6. Handle your helmet carefully. Never sit on it or drop it to the ground. Never ride with the helmet hanging from any part of your motorcycle.

7. Never use petroleum or petroleum products, chemicals, or any other solvents to clean the helmet, shell, or visor. In addition, never expose your helmet to the fumes of these solvents (for example by leaving it on top of the fuel tank cap on your motorcycle). Your helmet could be seriously damaged by these agents, without this damage being visible to you, thereby eliminating its ability to protect you. Use only mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth to wipe your helmet and visor clean.

8. Never apply any paint, stickers, or adhesive tape to any part of your shell or visor. They could significantly weaken your helmet, without this damage being visible to you, thereby eliminating the helmet’s ability to protect you.

9. You will experience some reduction in hearing, peripheral vision, and head movements while you are wearing your helmet. Please ride accordingly.

10. Dry your helmet at room temperature. Never subject it to heat in excess of 160°F/70°C, which can occur if your helmet is stored in the passenger compartment or trunk of a car.

11. If you ever have any comments or questions about this helmet, please contact SHARK or your nearest dealer.

No warranty or representation is made as to this product’s ability to protect the user from all foreseeable high or low-speed impacts or from any injury or death; The user of this helmet recognizes and agrees that there are risks inherent in motorcycle riding, including but not limited to the risk that your helmet cannot protect against all foreseeable high or low-speed impacts. By his/her purchase and use of this helmet, the user expressly, voluntarily, and
knowingly accepts and assumes these risks and agrees to hold SHARK harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law against any resulting damages.

WARNING! for French traffic, the Highway Code requires safety reflectors (supplied separately in a packet) to be fitted in accordance with the enclosed plan.

WARNING! The United States has a specific regulation, the helmets ECE approved only cannot be used in these territories without the complementary DOT FMVSS 218 approval.

WARNING! The helmet STREET-DRAK is only approved in the jet. The mask does not protect the chin against the shocks.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE

WARNING! No helmet can protect the wearer from all foreseeable high or low-speed impacts. However, for maximum protection, the helmet must be of proper fit and the chin strap must be securely fastened as described in this manual. Failure to have a proper fit and to securely fasten the chin strap is dangerous, as the helmet could come off in an accident, resulting in severe head injury or death.

Each helmet is designed to correspond to a head measurement (from for XS up to XL). To measure your head size, wrap a tape measure horizontally around your head at a height of approximately one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows. If your head measurement falls between two sizes, first
try on the smaller helmet. However, because of different head shapes, this size reference can only be considered as a guide. For maximum protection, it is necessary to check that the helmet is well suited for the shape of your head. When trying a brand new helmet, make sure that your head is pushed into the
helmet as far as possible, with the front part just above your eyebrows, and with the chin strap securely fastened as described on the next page.

1. The helmet should feel very snug all around your head and fairly tight on the cheek pads. If not, it is too big for you; select a smaller size.
   See figure A.

2. With the chin strap properly fastened, be sure that the helmet cannot be moved excessively from side to side or up and down. You should feel the skin of your head and face being

pulled as you move the helmet. If not, the helmet is too big for you; select a smaller size. See figure B.

3.  Grasp the back of the helmet at the base and attempt to pull the helmet off your head. Next, push the helmet upwards from beneath the chin guard.
   You should push and pull with relatively significant force. If the helmet starts to come off, the helmet is too big for you; select a smaller size.

4. Bend your head forward as far as possible. The chin guard must not touch your chest. See figure C.

5.  Bend your head backward as far as possible. The helmet shell must not touch your back. See figure D.
   Never wrap your hair inside the helmet, or place anything in or on your hair inside the helmet. Never insert padding to modify the position of the helmet on the head.

If you have any questions about properly sizing your helmet, see your retailer for assistance.
Each of these tests must be repeated throughout the life of the helmet, as the comfort padding may wear or change over time.
If during the life of your helmet, your helmet does not maintain the correct fit, you must replace the helmet.

WARNING! Never lend your helmet to others without ensuring a proper fit in accordance with these instructions.

WARNING! If you cannot obtain a proper fit in accordance with these instructions, DO NOT USE THE

HELMET. Select a different helmet size or model.

CHINSTRAP

CHIN STRAP

Depending on the various versions and the country concerned, your STREET-DRAK is equipped with a chin strap with a “Precise Lock” rapid buckle with a snap- lock or one with a double-D ring. Proper use of the chin strap is critical for the proper performance of the helmet. Never alter your chin strap in any way. For example, never cut it or add holes, or apply buttons, studs, or other items to your chin strap. During the life of your helmet,  be
sure that the chin strap never suffers any type of abrasion or cut, and that its total length does not change. If it does, replace your helmet.

PRECISE LOCK
The “Precise Lock” snap-lock system gives you precise and accurate adjustment because of the considerable length of its notched section. However, it is essential for purchase to adapt the length of the chin strap to your measurements. Adjust the length of the strap using the adjusting buckle (figs. A, B, C and
D). Choose your STREET-DRAK and attach the holding system. When the “Precise Lock” is adjusted to the medium position, the chin strap must be correctly tensioned under the chin to hold the helmet firmly without causing you any discomfort or pain. To fasten the chin strap, all you have to do is to
thread the tongue into its place on the buckle until tension is perfect (fig. E). The tongue connects and is automatically blocked. To release the chin strap, you have to pull on the lever (fig. F) and remove the tongue from the buckle. Although the notched tongue enables you to change the adjustment precisely on each use, it is important to check frequently that the adjustment of the strap length is correct.

WARNING! Never ride with the chin strap loose or insufficiently tightened. Even though the interior padding gives you the impression of being held, your helmet risks coming off in a fall.
Never apply lubricating or acid products or grease or solvents to the chin strap buckle parts.

WARNING! Never use the strap loop to secure your helmet to your head. In order to be properly fastened, you must thread the strap through the double-D-rings. Failure to properly use the double-D-rings will cause your helmet to become dislodged during an accident, leaving your head completely unprotected and resulting in severe head injury or death. Try to pull down on the chin strap with your fingers. If the strap loosens in any way, you have not properly tightened the chin strap with the double-D rings. Repeat the steps above. Never ride with the chin strap loose, improperly fastened, or improperly
positioned. Even though the comfort padding gives you the impression that the helmet is securely held in place, it will come off in an accident, leaving your
head completely unprotected. If you have any doubt concerning the fastening system of your helmet, do not use the helmet. Contact your dealer for assistance.

DOUBLE-D RING
A – Slide the long part of the chin strap through the two D rings, positioning the comfort pad correctly between the chin strap and your neck.
B – Then bring the end of the chin strap back through the lower of the two D rings as shown in the diagram.
C – Pull the strap until you feel resistance from the strap and it is held in place under your chin without being too tight so that you have no difficulty in breathing.

ADVICE FOR USE

PUTTING ON THE HELMET
Once the chin strap is released, you have to take hold of the two sections by the buckles and hold them slightly apart to facilitate the passage of your head. While carrying out this movement, you are advised to keep the two sections of the chin strap apart with your thumbs so that they are properly positioned. Position the protective parts of the chin strap buckle correctly and fasten it in accordance with the recommendations that are appropriate to the versions and country. Check that the tension and therefore the positioning of the helmet are correct for all positions. If this is not the case, you must continue to adjust the length until you achieve the ideal positioning.

REMOVING THE HELMET
Release the chin strap. Hold the two sections slightly apart as for putting the helmet on and remove the helmet.

WARNING! If you cannot properly fasten your chin strap or obtain the correct fit of your helmet on your head, DO NOT USE THE HELMET! See your retailer for assistance.

TEXTILE PARTS

CLEANING THE INTERIOR
The interior textile parts are washable; it is important to strictly follow the instructions below to avoid damaging them:
The cheek pads and head section must be hand washed in warm, soapy water (about 30°). Do not use aggressive detergents but either a product for delicate materials in low dilution or household soap.
It is essential to dry textile and foam parts completely before reinstalling them in the helmet. They must be air-dried at room temperature. Never use a clothes dryer or other heat source. Never iron textile parts.
For parts with a leather appearance or textiles attached to safety elements, use a slightly damp sponge or cloth and household soap and rinse with clean water. Do not allow too much water to come into contact with polystyrene parts.
You must ensure that all interior parts are perfectly dry before using the helmet.

WARNING! Damaged interior padding will compromise the fit of your helmet on your head and could allow the helmet to come off your head in an accident, resulting in a head injury or death.

THE TEXTILE PARTS
The textile and foam parts providing comfort to the STREET-DRAK make it easy for you to appreciate the performance of your helmet to the full.
The parts in contact with the skincare are made in a fabric that is guaranteed to feel pleasant, to absorb perspiration well and resist wear satisfactorily.
We treat surfaces to limit the risk of mould and bacteria.

WARNING!
Although they are selected for their quality of resistance and satisfactory wear, all the comfort padding is subject to normal wear and tear.
The rate of wear and tear will depend on use, care and maintenance, the length of use and the degree of acidity of your perspiration.
Wear and tear of the comfort padding will eventually change the fit of your helmet on your head. If that occurs, you must immediately replace the helmet
or padding. See your retailer for advice.
