Genuine BRP parts should be used for replacement to maintain the warranty,
consult an authorized BRP dealer.
Use this User Guide to acquaint yourself with your new helmet and its various
functions. Make sure you read and understand the contents of this guide and
keep it for future reference. The information and components descriptions
contained in this guide are accurate at time of publication. The illustrations in
this document may not show the typical construction of the different
assemblies or may not reproduce the full detail or exact shape of the parts
shown, however, they represent parts which have the same or a similar
function.
This guide uses the following safety alert symbol in conjunction with signal
words to indicate a potential personal injury hazard.
W
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
Address practices not related to personal injury.
Simply reading this guide will not eliminate hazards. The user must
understand and follow the instructions. Because of its ongoing commitment to
product quality and innovation, BRP reserves the right at any time to
discontinue or change specifications, designs, features or equipment without
incurring obligation. If anyone seeks to translate any portion of this guide into
any language, he must ensure that the translation is accurate.
WARNING
Riding a motorized vehicle can be dangerous. This helmet provides limited
protection to the head. It complies with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 218.
However, it will not protect the wearer against all possible impacts. Some
LPSDFWVPD\H[FHHGWKLVKHOPHW·VFDSDELOLW\WRSURYLGHSURWHFWLRQDQGresult in
serious head, brain, spinal, or other injury including paralysis or death.
For maximum protection, the helmet must fit firmly on the head with the chin
strap securely fastened.
If your helmet is equipped with a main visor, it must be fully closed. If your
helmet is equipped with other component, such as wind deflector, breath
deflector, breathing mask, mandible, etc., make sure to install them in proper
position to direct exhaled breath away from the main visor.
Always wear appropriate protection against frostbite, which may include a
balaclava, neck tube, facemask or combination of these items.
Inspect the helmet before each use following the inspection procedure in the
instructions. Replace any part showing wear or damage. Do not alter the
helmet or attach any items not recommended by the manufacturer. The
helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction of the shell and it
should not be visible. Destroy and replace helmet if subjected liner, which may
not be visible. Destroy and replace helmet if subjected to a severe blow even if
it appears undamaged.
The helmet shell, liner and other components may be damaged and rendered
ineffective by petroleum products, cleaning agents, paint, adhesives, etc.,
without the damage being visible. Use only warm mild soapy water to clean
the helmet.
Follow all warnings and instructions provided with this helmet. For
replacement instructions, contact BRP. Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions can result in serious personal injury or death.

3. AEROACOUSTICS
Various features developed by BRP make the helmet agreeably quiet as far as
aeroacoustics are concerned, while providing optimized acoustic feedback
when riding.
Aeroacoustics values may vary according to the type of snowmobile, fairing
design, windshield size, seat position and physical size of the rider.
WARNING
Because of the aeroacoustics optimization of the helmet (and the lower wind
noise inside the helmet that comes with it), your actual speed can be
underestimated. Please do not rely on your sense of hearing to estimate your
speed or to estimate the distance with other vehicles ²always check it using
your speedometer and the surroundings.

4. PROTECTIVE COLLAR
The protective collar reduces air intrusion and unpleasant effect of the wind
created when you ride by flowing into the helmet. This feature allows to also
reduce the riding noises (such as wind, motor, track...).
The fit at the bottom of the helmet is extremely important to make the helmet
as quiet as possible. Even with the protective collar, we recommend you wear
a balaclava.
REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE COLLAR
1
1.
Take one side of the protective collar
and pull it out of its fitting (in red).
2.
To release the neck pad, pull gently
upward to disengage the plastic strip.
3.
Then, pull the 2nd notch out of its fitting
on the other side.
4.
The protective collar is also attached on

plastic strip inside their specific housing.
2.
Once the chin plastic strip is in position.
Insert one of the notches located on each
side of the neck pad plastic strip into the
red housing as shown on the picture.
3.
Then, insert the plastic strip between
the impact absorbing liner and the shell,
from the one side to the other, by pushing
it inside and backward at the same time
to be able to match the other notch with
the other red housing.
4.
Once it is done and the neck pad
plastic strip is in position, insert the
second notch into its red housing.
WARNING
Do not carry or hold the helmet by the protective collar. The protective collar
may come off, causing the helmet to drop.

B. THE HELMET
5. MICROMETRIC CHIN STRAP
The retention system of the OXYGEN helmet comes with a ratchet fastener.
This locking system is easy to use and enables you to adjust the chinstrap
perfectly to your head every time you put the helmet on.
ADJUSTING THE CHIN STRAP
The length of the chinstrap is adjusted by increasing or reducing the length of
strap pulled through the metal buckles. Adjust the length of the chinstrap so
that it fits firmly but comfortably under your chin and fix the end of the strap
using the retaining loop with comfort pad.
W
WARNING
When adjusting the strap, make sure that the helmet cannot be pulled off in a
forward direction with the chinstrap closed.
WARNING
Check the adjustment of the chinstrap length at regular intervals.
OPENING AND CLOSING
To close the chinstrap fastener, slide the ratchet tongue step by step into the
locking buckle. If you find that the chinstrap fits too loosely around your chin,
slide the ratchet tongue one step further into the locking buckle.
When adjusting the chinstrap, make sure that it rests firmly but not
uncomfortably around your chin. To open the chinstrap, pull the red ribbon on
the ratchet fastener upwards to release the locking buckle. Then pull the
ratchet tongue out of the locking buckle.
WARNING
Never ride without making sure that the chinstrap is correctly fastened and
adjusted and properly positioned. If the chinstrap is not correctly adjusted or
fastened, the helmet could be displaced in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Closing the comfort pad of the chinstrap alone will not provide adequate
protection. The chinstrap must always be fully fastened.
WARNING
Never open the chinstrap while riding.

uppermost locked position.
2.
On one side, pull the lever of the face
shield mechanism downward to release
the lower tab of the face shield.

Then, pull the face shield downward to
release the upper tab from the face shield
mechanism.
5.
Repeat steps 1 ²4 for the other side.
INSTALLING THE FACE SHIELD
1.
Insert the upper tab of the face shield

shield mechanism.
2.
Once the tab is in position, pull the
lever of the face shield mechanism
downward and slightly push the lower
portion of the face shield to put back in
position the lower tab of the face shield.
3.
Then, release the lever. Make sure the

5.
Once both sides are in position,
press the face shield pivots gently
towards the helmet with a
simultaneous closing movement.
6.
Make sure that the face shield
mechanism is functioning properly by
closing and opening the face shield to
its maximum extent.
7. SUN VISOR
OPERATION
The sun visor is operated by the lever
positioned on the left side of the helmet,
which makes it easy to use even when
wearing thick gloves.
Moving the lever upward lowers the sun
visor, moving it downward retracts the
sun visor inside the inner helmet shell
and locks it in position.
If during your ride you experience fogging or frosting on your sun visor, simply
raise it back to the up position, wait a minute, and then drop it back down. The
sun visor·s upper storage position is heated, that will disperse any fogging that
may have occurred.
REMOVING THE SUN VISOR
1.
Pivot the sun visor in the lower position.
2.
Pull the sun visor downward until you
see the upper edge.
3.
Hold your helmet in position and pull
the sun visor on the right side, toward the
outside of the helmet.
4.
Repeat steps 2-3 for the other side.
The sun visor lever should remain in the
same position while you install the visor.
