General Rules - SUOMY MX SPEED Mode D'emploi

EN WARNING
Thank you for choosing SUOMY.
Designed and manufactured in compliance with the highest
qualitative standards specifically for motorcycle use, MX SPEED is
certified by the most important Certification Bodies.
Suomy cannot be held responsible for direct or indirect damages
resulting from an incorrect use of the product and/or for using the
helmet in situations that go beyond the normal conditions of use or
the modalities indicated in this booklet.
Before using the helmet, carefully read this manual. Keep it at hand
for future reference.
For further information, contact your Distributor or Suomy.
Use this helmet in compliance with the instructions contained in this
manual. Compliance with these instructions will make your helmet
last longer and will assure maximum product performances.
Modifications and/or alterations to the helmet and/or any of its
components shall make the warranty void and may jeopardize the
safety requirements or make the product non-compliant with the
certification standards.
All the Suomy products are constantly subject to a continual
improvement process, that's why Suomy reserves the right to make
changes, without prior notice, to the product object of this manual.
It is therefore not possible to exercise any rights on the basis of the
information, illustrations and descriptions contained in this manual.
MX SPEED was developed and tested to assure, together with the
safety features, the best level of comfort and noise reduction during
ordinary conditions of use. However, the particular configuration of
the vehicle and/or the position of the rider or both factors can entail
12
situations that could not be foreseen during the manufacturing of the
product that may generate aerodynamic rustles or hissing sounds.
Suomy therefore, cannot be held responsible if this should occur.
MX SPEED is not designed to be used with earphones and/or similar
devices.
FEATURES
The inner liner can be totally removed. It is made in excellent
anallergic fabric with anti-bacteria treatment.
All the parts in contact with the face are easily washable.
Interchangeable side cheek pads, available in different thicknesses
to assure the best fit for all head sizes.
The MX SPEED ventilation system along with the particular shape
of the internal polystyrene shell, optimizes outside and inside air
flows, fed by three air intakes, which exploit the Venturi effect thus
optimizing internal ventilation. The four back air inlets release the
air flows. This assures a more uniform and continuous flow of air
inside the shell, which is also enhanced by the extraction grid on
the back part.
The strap has a D-ring retention system in anti-corrosive stainless
steel, and a button on the strap. The fastening stud is positioned
in a completely free and accessible area. The stud is easy to lock
and unlock even with gloves. Thanks to the particular shape of the
D-Ring system, the retention system can be easily disengaged even
while wearing gloves: when the automatic button is fastened, the
strap forms an eyehole that can easily be used as «ring» to pull the
tab and release the D-ring fastening system.

GENERAL RULES

For maximum safety, MX SPEED must fit tightly and be correctly and
securely fastened, so it cannot be taken off neither by pulling it nor
by rotating it around the head (see figure 1). If it is too big it may slide
down over the eyes or turn in a lateral direction due to movement
during riding, thus blocking visibility.
FIGURE 1
Do not use scarves or neck guards which could make the strap slide
and the helmet fly off in case of crash.
MX SPEED was designed to be used with most of the eyeglasses on
the market. In any case check how the helmet fits with the glasses
before purchasing it.
The function of the helmet is to reduce stress on the user's head
in case of crash; this happens through a partial destruction and/or
deformation of its components (mostly the external shell and the
internal polystyrene shell). In this way part of the energy generated
by the impact is absorbed by the components of the helmet, thus
reducing the vibrations on the user's head, eliminating or limiting the
risk of traumas. The protection capacity of the helmet is not endless
and certain crashes may generate such high stress that even the
energy absorbed by the helmet is not enough to protect the user from
injuries: no helmet, even top quality helmets, can protect the head
