visor must be quickly restored. Just think, for example, of what happens when you
enter a tunnel or when unexpected changes in environmental brightness occur.
Thanks to its operating mechanism, the VPS makes these operations much easier.
WARNING
- Use the special slider to activate/deactivate the VPS; do not deactivate the VPS by
handling it directly.
- The VPS can be used only during the day and under the environmental condi-
tions described before.
- At night and/or in poor visibility conditions, the VPS MUST be deactivated.
- Always check that the VPS is properly positioned according to the different
weather/environmental conditions and/or to the above mentioned recommenda-
tions for use.
- We recommend using the VPS only and solely together with the approved stan-
dard visor, which has a transmittance value greater than 80%.
- The VPS does not replace the protection guaranteed by the visor.
- Always make sure that the VPS is clean and that it is operating properly in order
to avoid scratches and/or anomalous wear on it every time it is activated.
- Please refer to the proper section in the helmet user's manual for the VPS and
visor maintenance and cleaning operations.
- The VPS antifog/antiscratch treatment remarkably reduces fogging. Protracted
periods of adverse weather and/or environmental conditions might cause fog-
ging and/or formation of condensation on the VPS, which entails a reduction of
visibility and/or sharpness of vision: In this case, deactivate the VPS.
- In case of rain, the direct contact of raindrops with the antifog/antiscratch-treat-
ed VPS quickly reduces sharpness of vision, thus causing scarce visibility: In this
case, deactivate the VPS.
- The special VPS antifog treatment is usually sensitive to high temperatures or
heat sources. In this case, contaminations caused by contact with other materi-
als might occur. These contaminations will cause marks and stains to develop.
In these cases (e.g. when the helmet is kept in the top case on hot days), it is
recommended to make sure the visor is not touching other materials.
