ScorpionExo EXO-200 Owner's manual

introduction
Congratulations for acquiring a premium ScorpionExo ™helmet.
This helmet embodies the latest, state-of-the-art design,
engineering and technology available in the market today
and is an excellent investment for your comfort and protection.
Please remember that no helmet can protect you against
all possible or foreseeable impacts even when built with
the latest and best materials and technology.
The following information will help you to enjoy and properly
care for your helmet.
function
A helmet’s main function is to protect your head from impact
in case of an accident. To accomplish this, a helmet surrounds
your head with a matrix of materials designed to absorb and
cushion impact energy .A helmet is also designed to provide
you with comfort while riding at speed and in various weather
conditions. Yet, there is a trade-off: A helmet decreases
hearing sensitivity, peripheral vision and physical movement
to a certain extent while providing protection and comfort.
fit
It is important for maximum safety that your ScorpionExo
™
helmet fit snugly and comfortably on your head with the
retention strap (chinstrap) properly fastened. If the helmet
moves side-to-side or forward and backward without pulling
the facial skin and scalp, it is too large. If the helmet is
constricting or painful, it is too small.
faceshields
The faceshield on your ScorpionExo
™helmet provides
protection from weather, small flying objects and wind.
Tinted shields are available to protect your eyes from excessive
sunlight. The exclusive, patent-pending ScorpionExo™
“SpeedShift ™” quick-change faceshield system allows
you to easily change your shield in less than 10 seconds.
See the instructions below.
NEVER WEAR A DARK OR TINTED FACESHIELD IN DARK
OR POOR VISIBILITY RIDING CONDITIONS. This is not only
unsafe, but also illegal in most states.
NEVER WEAR A FACESHIELD THAT HAS BECOME SCRATCHEDT
OR RIDE WITH A FACESHIELD THAT IS FOGGED BY
CONDENSATION. SCORPIONEXO FACESHIELDS (CLEAR
AND SMOKE ONLY) COME WITH A SPECIAL SCRATCH
RESISTANT COATING.
ventilation systems
Ventilation systems are designed and engineered to maximize
your comfort in a wide range of temperatures. Familiarize
yourself with the vents on your street helmet. Some vents
have detents allowing partial opening and closing, thereby
controlling intake and exhaust airflow. Your helmet ventilation
systems should be kept c lear of an yobstructions inc luding
dirt, insects or other items which could interfere with proper
flow of air. The ventilation systems play an important role,
especially during physical exertion
or hot-wea ther riding.

NOTE: THE FACESHIELD CAN ONLY BE REMOVED OR INSTALLED WHEN
IN THE FULLY OPENED POSITION!!!
To remove your faceshield, place the helmet in front of you with the eye
port facing away. Ratchet the faceshield up to the fully open position.
Using both hands, rotate both circular SpeedShifters ™ clockwise; because
they are on opposite sides of the helmet, it will feel like you are twisting
them in opposite directions. The shield will release immediately from
the SpeedShifters: Then simply pull or “peel” the shield off the helmet.
To install a shield

before riding.
securing and
wearing your helmet
cleaning your ScorpionExo™
helmet system
None of the components of your ScorpionExo™helmet can be dama ged by
water. All headliners and sweat-wicking cheek pads are machine washable.
Wash them with a mild detergent in warm water and allow to air dry.
Hand washing is recommended, but machine washing is also permitted.
Use the “delicate” cycle to prevent the agitator from damaging the
sweat-wicking material covering the liner parts. Do not place lining
parts in the dryer: Excess heat may damage the foam and coverings.
The faceshield may be cleaned with plastic polish or mild soap
and water. The shell of your helmet should be cleaned using
only a mild detergent and water. NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED
CHEMICALS, SOLVENTS, GASOLINE, CLEANING AGENTS OR ADHESIVES
to clean the shell, liners or faceshield of your helmet. Your helmet
shell, liner and faceshield may be seriously damaged by the use
of such products. A coatof automotive wax over the outer shell
(except matte finishes) will provide added shine and a protective
layer for the finish.
dont’s
DON’T ride without fastening your chinstrap.
clean your helmet with petroleum products, solvents,
benzene, thinner or cleaning agents.
paint over your helmet’s finish without totally protecting
and isolating the shock-absorbing liner and plastic parts.
Your warranty will otherwise be invalida ted.
drop your helmet from any height onto a hard surface.
This could cause damage to your helmet’s finish and/or decrease
its ability to protect you.
place your helmet on your motorcycle’s rearview mirror:
The sharp pressure from the mirror’s edge will compress and
damage the helmet’s shock-absorbing liner.
place your helmet on the motorcycle’s seat or fuel tank. It can
easily roll off and hit the ground causing damage to the helmet. It is
best to place your helmet on the ground so it cannot fall in any direction.
ride with a scratched faceshield. This can impair your
vision, especially at night.
modify any part of your helmet, e.g., drilling the shell
or cutting and pressing the shock absorbing liner. Installation
of sound systems, speakers and microphones reduces your
helmet’s ability to protect you and is not recommended.
use the helmet again if it has either been dropped or
involved in an accident. Replace it even if damage is not visible to
the naked eye .
wear a dark or tinted faceshield in dark or poor visibility
riding conditions.
place your headliners and cheek pads in the dryer after
washing. Allow them to air dry.
attempt to remove, change or replace your faceshield
while riding your motorcycle or ATV.
