Note: Repeat this check each time you make an adjustment.
Warning: Never ride without the chin strap being fastened
and correctly adjusted. The chin strap must sit correctly and
must not come loose when pulled. The fastening is only
properly closed when the chin strap does not give.
3. CHECKING THE VISOR
Before every ride, check that the visor is fi t for function and that it
offers suffi ciently good vision. Remove dirt before riding (see ‘Visor
maintenance’, section H.2).
Check the visor for mechanical damage and/or cracks. A badly
scratched visor shield is detrimental to vision and must be replaced
before riding.
Warning: Scratched and/or dirty visors interfere seriously
with vision. Change or clean the visor for your safety.
Warning: Ensure that the visor is always in good condition.
Damaged visors are not safe for riding and should be
replaced.
Warning: If vision is poor, stop riding.
For your safety you should check the following points before every
ride:
1. CHECKING THE HELMET
Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superfi cial scratches
will not affect the protection afforded by the helmet. If more
serious damage (cracks, dents, chipped and cracked lacquer, etc)
is present, however, the helmet should no longer be used. If
necessary we will check your SR1 for any damage at no cost (see
section J.1, 'Safety Check').
Note: If your body weight has signifi cantly reduced, you must
check whether your helmet is still the correct size for you (see
'Checking that the helmet size is correct', section D.3).
2. CHECKING THE CHIN STRAP
(With helmet on and closed)
1. Check that the chin strap passes under your chin.
2. Place your forefi nger under the strap and pull.
- If the chin strap is loose against the chin, it is set too long
and must be drawn tighter.
- If the chin strap slackens or loosens, it is not properly
fastened. Open the chin strap completely and close it
again. Repeat the check.
3. If the chin strap cannot be closed in such a way that it lies
fi rmly under your chin, you should check whether the helmet
is still the correct size for you (see 'Checking that the helmet
size is correct', section D.3).
