Precautions for use
The current approval standards (EEC 22-05) state that the minimum light transmittance
levels must be greater than 80% when riding at night and not lower than 50% when riding
during the day. For this reason, when riding during the day in particular brightness weath-
er conditions, e.g. very strong sunlight, the use of sunglasses - determining a transmit-
tance much lower than 50% - turns out to be advisable, if not compulsory, to reduce eye
tiredness in case of long trips. In the same way, sunglasses are necessary to reduce the
risk of direct dazzling as opposed to the use of the mere approved visors. The use of sun-
glasses makes it however difficult to carry out possible emergency operations when the
maximum visibility range of the visor is to be restored. Just think, for example, of what hap-
pens when you enter a tunnel or when unexpected changes in brightness occur. Thanks
to its operating mechanism and to its position on the approved visor outside, the VPS
makes these operations much easier.
ATTENTION
• The VPS can be activated only during the day and in the environmental conditions
described before.
• At night and/or in scarce visibility conditions, the VPS is to be deactivated or removed
from the helmet.
• Always check that the VPS is properly positioned according to the different
weather/environmental conditions and/or to the above mentioned usage recommenda-
tions.
• We recommend assembling the VPS only and solely together with the approved stan-
dard visor, which has a transmittance value greater than 80%.
• Always make sure that the VPS and the visor are clean and operating correctly in order
to avoid scratches and/or anomalous wear to the visor.
• If the VPS is not present, we advise you to always assemble the auxiliary side covers.
• As for the VPS maintenance and cleaning operations, please refer to the proper sec-
tion in the helmet user's manual.
VPS assembly instructions
Starting from the standard helmet, designed for the assembly of the VPS system, carry out
the following procedures and checkouts:
1. Pull the left auxiliary side cover outwards as in Fig. 17 to prize it off. Carry out the same
steps on the right side.
2. Take the VPS and verify that the external sliders on both sides are facing forward as in
Fig. 18.
3. Close the helmet chin guard and the visor, then position the VPS as in Fig. 19 ("active
VPS"), making sure that the reference pins "A" on both sides are fit in the proper mech-
anism slots (Fig. 20).
4. Fasten the VPS to the helmet by sliding the side sliders towards the helmet rear part as
in Fig. 21.
