COOLMAX® is used for the interior fabrics in order to allow quick

evaporation of sweat and brings cool and comfortable use.
–Evaporate sweat quickly to achieve cool and comfortable use–
●When sweat comes out from the body, COOLMAX® allows discharging body moisture to the
outside and takes in air from the outside to cool and dry your body. As a result, the temperature on
the body surface is lowered and exercise great moist adjustment accordingly.
●COOLMAX® provides a natural touch to the texture with soft and light weight and good
permeability properties. *COOLMAX® is the registered trade name of INVISTA.

 NOTES BEFORE USE
ENG

Thank you very much for purchasing a KABUTO helmet.

This Instruction Manual describes proper handling, various functions and
remove/replace each part of this helmet. Please read this Instruction Manual
thoroughly prior to use.
After reading this, keep this Manual for future reference.
The helmet is just one element of protection, it is intended to minimize the risk
in the event of an accident. It cannot ensure complete safety.
Use this helmet properly based on this understanding.
Please understand and follow the instructions and information in this
Instruction Manual to enjoy your safe ride.

Select the proper size!

It is very dangerous to wear a too large sized helmet. This may wobble while riding. If you wear a
too small size helmet, it tightens up and hurts your head. Thus, it is important to select the proper
size.

Fasten the chinstraps before riding

The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the chin. In order to assure proper
protection, the helmet should fit your head. When worn, adjust it to rest properly on the head,
securely fasten the chinstraps to ensure safety. The chinstraps prevent the helmet from coming off
in most cases.

Never use the helmet once impacted

Liners are essential for the intended performance of the helmet.
This helmet has been designed to absorb the impact energy when components as shell and liners
are partially destroyed by an impact.
Even if visually no damage is apparent, it could be seriously damaged by a small impact.
Regardless of the degree of damage, the helmet that underwent an impact or was abused even
only once should not be used anymore.
Always handle the helmet with care and make sure that no one sits on it or drops it.

Never modify the helmet

In order to fully maintain the performance of this helmet, do not attempt to take apart or change the
helmet in any manner such as making holes in it or cutting it.

Helmet care and cleaning

Clean the helmet with soft cloth, using common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water. The
cloth should not be soaking wet. Then wipe the helmet gently with a clean wet soft cloth and leave
it to dry completely, but not in direct sunlight.
With regard to helmets with removable interiors, carefully read the instruction manual for that
model before attempting to remove the interiors and carry out cleaning according to the
explanation provided. To clean the helmet do not use saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).

4 4
ENG
 ENG
Do not paint or apply solvent
Any paint, glue, adhesive stickers, etc. (or the use of detergents and solvents other than those
prescribed) may not only reduce the original protective performance of the helmet considerably,
but may also cause damage to the helmet that cannot be detected by the naked eye.

Handle your helmet with care

Do not toss your helmet over a floor or sit on it. The helmet absorbs an impact every time it is
handled roughly and its impact-absorbing capacity will be decreased. Handle your helmet with
care to assure its full intended function in the event of an accident.
Do not use your helmet for any purpose other than to use for protecting your head while riding.

The storage of the helmet

After using the helmet, stow it away in the helmet bag and store on a level place such as a shelf;
the helmet may be damaged if it rolls around or falls down.
Do not leave the helmet in direct heat above 50ºC e.g. next to a heater or under direct sunlight in a
car.

Shield care and cleaning

After using your helmet, with a wet soft cloth, lightly wipe off any grime (e.g. dead insects, dirt,
sand, dust, etc.) on the shield and then fully wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth. When the shield
gets wet (e.g. rainwater), it should always be wiped with a soft cloth after use.
When cleaning the shield, never use any petroleum-based solvents or detergents containing
abrasives.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and reduce
the mechanical strength.
To clean the shield, apply some common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water using a soft
cloth and wipe gently. Finally, wipe it dry with a lint-free soft cloth. To clean the shield, do not use
saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).

Cautions for shield

If the visor is marked “Day Time Use Only”, visibility is limited to daylight conditions and it is not
suitable for use at night.
Tinted lenses are not suitable for use at night.
A visor and goggles with scratches lowers the visibility and this is very dangerous. Such visors
should never be used at night and should be replaced.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and weaken
the strength of the visor.
Never try to open or close nor remove the visor while riding.

Notes for use of full-face helmet

When you wear a full-face helmet, the temperature in the helmet is maintained nearly constant
while riding but the surroundings are constantly changing since you are moving at a high speed.
For this reason, in case of sudden rain, entering a tunnel or in a place with a large height
difference, the shield can be fogged suddenly because of the difference in temperature in-and
outside the helmet.
In case such a risk is expected, please use caution with adjusting the shield or slowing down your
speed in advance.
Never open or close the shield nor adjust the ventilation shutter while riding since it is very
dangerous. Adjust the shield before riding.

IMPORTANT Cleaning of Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers

CAUTION
●The interiors of this helmet are washable by a washing machine. Put each pad in a washing net and wash
them separately.
●Use detergent in cold water or warm water for cleaning. Never use hot water, chemical detergents, and organic
solvents for cleaning the pads. The use of these agents may degrade the quality and damage the pads.
●Even commercially-available detergent may cause a little discolouration of the pad depending on the type of
detergent. Thus, wash each pad separately as much as practical.
●If the pad is washed in a washing machine having a drying function in which the temperature is increased to
50ºC or more, it may cause deterioration in quality and damage of the pads. Do not use such a device for
cleaning of the pad.
● Drain a pad after washing and dry the pad in shade so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight. After making
sure that it is dried enough, attach it on the helmet.
●The inner pad and the cheek pad are consumable items. Even under normal usage, the fabric material and
inner foam may be worn and deteriorated depending on the frequency of usage. Please replace the pads with
new ones as appropriate.
