WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS
1. This helmet is for use only with motorcycles
ridden on the street or other paved surfaces.
Never use this helmet off road, on snowmobiles,
in automobiles, etc.
2. Always ride with care. Even though this helmet
meets or exceeds many of the world’s most
demanding standards for helmet production,
no helmet can protect the wearer from all
foreseeable high or low speed impacts. All
safety equipment have limits, and you could
still sustain a head injury in an accident even
if you are wearing a helmet. However, for
maximum protection against death or permanent
impairment from a head injury, the helmet must
fit firmly on your head and the chinstrap must be
securely fastened as described in this manual.
3. The helmet is designed to absorb impact by
partial destruction of the shell and/or liner. This
damage may not be visible to you. Therefore,
if your helmet is subjected to any impact, even
if it is only dropped to the ground, the helmet
should be returned for inspection or replaced and
destroyed even if it is apparently undamaged.
If you have any doubts, and you are not sure
whether this rule applies, consult your dealer
before you use your helmet again.
4. A helmet, like all products, may wear out over
time depending on the conditions of use. Please
check your helmet every time you use it for
evidence of damage or wear. The helmet should
always fit snugly all around your head. If it is not
snug, it has become too big for you and should
be replaced. Never wear a damaged helmet. Even
if the helmet does not show any evidence of
damage or wear, we recommended the helmet to
be replaced five years after it is first purchased.
5. Make no modifications whatsoever to your
helmet. Never drill or cut any component of
the helmet. Modifications can significantly
weaken your helmet, thereby eliminating its
ability to protect you from an impact.
6. Handle your helmet carefully. Never sit on it or
drop it to the ground. Never ride with the helmet
hanging from any part of your motorcycle.
7. Never use petroleum or petroleum products,
chemicals or any other solvents to clean the
helmet, shell or visor. In addition, never expose
your helmet to the fumes of these solvents (for
example by leaving it on top of the fuel tank
cap on your motorcycle). Your helmet could be
seriously damaged by these agents, without this
damage being visible to you, thereby eliminating
its ability to protect you. Use only mild soap,
warm water, and a soft cloth to wipe your helmet
and visor clean.
8. Never apply any paint, stickers or adhesive
tape to any part of your shell or visor. They could
significantly weaken your helmet, without this
damage being visible to you, thereby eliminating
the helmet’s ability to protect you.
9 . You will experience some reduction in hearing,
peripheral vision and head movements while you
are wearing your helmet. Please ride accordingly.
10. Dry your helmet at room temperature. Never
subject it to heat in excess of 160°F/70°C,
which can occur if your helmet is stored in the
passenger compartment or trunk of a car.
11. If you ever have any comments or questions
about this helmet, please contact SHARK or your
nearest dealer.
No warranty or representation is made as
to this product’s ability to protect the user
from all foreseeable high or low speed impacts
or from any injury or death; The user of this
helmet recognizes and agrees that there are
risks inherent in motorcycle riding, including
but not limited to the risk that your helmet
cannot protect against all foreseeable high or
low speed impacts. By his/her purchase and use
of this helmet, the user expressly, voluntarily and
knowingly accepts and assumes these risks and
agrees to hold SHARK harmless to the fullest
extent permitted by law against any resulting
damages.
WARNING! for French trafc, the Highway
Code requires safety reectors (supplied
separately in a packet) to be tted in accordance
with the enclosed plan.
WARNING! The United-States have a specic
regulation, the helmets ECE approved only
cannot be used in these territories without the
complementary DOT FMVSS 218 approval.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
WARNING! No helmet can
protect the wearer from all
foreseeable high or low speed
impacts. However, for maximum
protection, the helmet must be
of proper t and the chin strap must be
securely fastened as described in this
manual. Failure to have a proper t and
to securely fasten the chin strap is dan-
gerous, as the helmet could come off
in an accident, resulting in severe head
injury or death.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
Each helmet is designed to corres-
pond to a head measurement (from for
XS up to XL). To measure your head
size, wrap a tape measure horizon-
tally around your head at a height of
approximately one inch (2.5cm) above
your eyebrows. If your head measure-
ment falls between two sizes, rst
try on the smaller helmet. However,
because of different head shapes, this
size reference can only be considered
as a guide. For maximum protection, it
is necessary to check that the helmet is
well suited for the shape of your head.
When trying a brand new helmet, make
sure that your head is pushed into the
helmet as far as possible, with the front
part just above your eyebrows, and
with the chin strap securely fastened
as described on the next page.
1. The helmet should feel very snug all
around your head and fairly tight on the
cheek pads. If not, it is too big for you;
select a smaller size.
See gure A.
2. With the chin strap properly faste-
ned, be sure that the helmet cannot
be moved excessively from side to
side or up and down.You should feel
the skin of your head and face being
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
pulled as you move the helmet. If not,
the helmet is too big for you; select
a smaller size. See gure B.
3. Grasp the back of the helmet at the
base and attempt to pull the helmet
off your head. Next, push the hel-
met upwards from beneath the chin
guard. You should push and pull with
relatively signicant force. If the hel-
met starts to come off, the helmet is
too big for you; select a smaller size.
4. Bend your head forward as far as
possible. The chin guard must not
touch your chest. See gure C.
5. Bend your head backwards as far
as possible. The helmet shell must not
touch your back. See gure D.
Never wrap your hair inside the
helmet, or place anything in or on your
hair inside the helmet. Never insert
padding to modify the position of the
helmet on the head.

hair inside the helmet. Never insert
padding to modify the position of the
helmet on the head.
If you have any questions about pro-
perly sizing your helmet, see your
retailer for assistance.
Each of these tests must be repeated
throughout the life of the helmet, as the
comfort padding may wear or change
over time. If, during the life of your
helmet, your helmet does not maintain
the correct t, you must replace the
helmet.
WARNING! Never lend your hel-
met to others without insuring
a proper t in accordance with these
instructions.
WARNING! If you cannot obtain
a proper t in accordance with
these instructions, DO NOT USE THE
HELMET. Select a different helmet size
or model.

CHIN STRAP
Depending on the various versions and the
country concerned, your Shark Nano is equipped
with a chin strap with a “Precise Lock” rapid
buckle with a snap lock or one with a double-D
ring. Proper use of the chin strap is critical for
proper performance of the helmet. Never alter
your chin strap in any way. For example, never
cut it or add holes, or apply buttons, studs or
other items to your chin strap. During the life of
your helmet, be sure that the chin strap never
suffers any type of abrasion or cut, and that its
total length does not change. If it does, replace
your helmet.
PRECISE LOCK
The “Precise Lock” snap lock system gives you
precise and accurate adjustment because of the
considerable length of its notched section.
However, it is essential on purchase to adapt
the length of the chin strap to your measure-
ments. Adjust the length of the strap using the
adjusting buckle (figs. A, B, C and D).
Choose your Shark Nano and attach the holding
system. When the “Precise Lock” is adjusted
to the medium position, the chin strap must
be correctly tensioned under the chin to hold
the helmet firmly without causing you any
discomfort or pain.
To fasten the chin strap, all you have to do is to
thread the tongue into its place on the buckle
until tension is perfect (fig. E). The tongue
connects and is automatically blocked.
To release the chin strap, you have to pull on
the lever (fig. F) and remove the tongue from the
buckle. Although the notched tongue enables
you to change the adjustment precisely on each
use, it is important to check frequently that the
adjustment of the strap length is correct.
WARNING! Never ride with the chin strap
loose or insufficiently tightened. Even
though the interior padding gives you the impres-
sion of being held, your helmet risks coming off
in a fall.
Never apply lubricating or acid products or grease
or solvents to the chin strap buckle parts.
CHIN STRAP
WARNING! Never use the strap loop to
secure your helmet to your head. In order to
be properly fastened, you must thread the strap
through the double-D-rings. Failure to properly
use the double-D-rings will cause your helmet
to become dislodged during an accident, leaving
your head completely unprotected and resulting in
severe head injury or death. Try to pull down on the
chin strap with your ngers. If the strap loosens
in any way, you have not properly tightened
DOUBLE-D RING
A - Slide the long part of the chin strap through
the two D rings, positioning the comfort pad
correctly between the chin strap and your neck.

Repeat the steps above. Never ride with the chin
strap loose, improperly fastened or improperly
positioned.
Even though the comfort padding gives you the
impression that the helmet is securely held in
place, it will come off in an accident, leaving your
head completely unprotected.
If you have any doubt concerning the fastening
system of your helmet, do not use the helmet.
Contact your dealer for assistance.

A - Slide the long part of the chin strap through
the two D rings, positioning the comfort pad
correctly between the chin strap and your neck.
B - Then bring the end of the chin strap
back through the lower of the two D rings

C - Pull the strap until you feel resistance from
the strap and it is held in place under your chin
without being too tight, so that you have no
difficulty in breathing.

PUTTING ON THE HELMET
Once the chin strap is released, you
have to take hold of the two sections
by the buckles and hold them slightly
apart to facilitate the passage of your
head. While carrying out this move-
ment, you are advised to keep the two
sections of the chin strap apart with
your thumbs so that they are properly
positioned.
Position the protective parts of the
chin strap buckle correctly and fasten
it in accordance with the recommen-
dations that are appropriate to the
versions and country.
Check that the tension and therefore
the positioning of the helmet are cor-
rect for all positions. If this is not the
case, you must continue to adjust
the length until you achieve the ideal
positioning.
REMOVING THE HELMET
Release the chin strap. Hold the two
sections slightly apart as for putting
the helmet on and remove the helmet.
WARNING! If you cannot
properly fasten your chin strap
or obtain the correct fit of your hel-
met on your head, DO NOT USE THE
HELMET! See your retailer for assis-
tance.

do not use the helmet. The sun shield
could suddenly and without warning
become detached from the helmet while
riding, causing you to lose control of
your motorcycle, resulting in an accident,
personal injury, or death. Contact your
retailer for any assistance or advice.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
The interior textile parts are washable; it is
important to strictly follow the instructions
below to avoid damaging them:
The cheek pads and head section must be
hand washed in warm, soapy water (about
30°). Do not use aggressive detergents but
either a product for delicate materials in low
dilution or household soap.
It is essential to dry textile and foam parts
completely before reinstalling them in the
helmet. They must be air dried at room
temperature. Never use a clothes dryer or
other heat source. Never iron textile parts.
For parts with a leather appearance or
textiles attached to safety elements, use a
slightly damp sponge or cloth and household
soap and rinse with clean water. Do not
allow too much water to come into contact
with polystyrene parts.
You must insure that all interior parts are
perfectly dry before using the helmet.
WARNING! Damaged interior padding
will compromise the fit of your helmet on
your head and could allow the helmet to come
off your head in an accident, resulting in a head
injury or death.

THE TEXTILE PARTS
The textile and foam parts providing
comfort to the Shark Nano make it easy
for you to appreciate the performance of
your helmet to the full.
The parts in contact with the skin are
made in a fabric that is guaranteed to feel
pleasant, to absorb perspiration well and
to resist wear satisfactorily.
We treat surfaces to limit the risk of mould
and bacteria.
WARNING! Although they are
selected for their quality of resistance
and satisfactory wear, all the comfort
padding is subject to normal wear and
tear. The rate of wear and tear will depend
on use, care and maintenance, the length
of use and the degree of acidity of your
perspiration. Wear and tear of the comfort
padding will eventually change the fit of
your helmet on your head. If that occurs,
you must immediately replace the helmet or
padding. See your retailer for advice.
WARNING! Each time you put on your
helmet, check the fit as discussed in
“Choose your size“.

OPEN CLOSE
EASYFIT • VENTILATIONS
EASY FIT
Your helmet Shark Nano has been designed
to provide additional comfort for eyeglasses
wearers with the EASY FIT SYSTEM.
The 2 cheeks are made in order to provide an
easiest passage to the glasses arms.
SYSTEM OF AERATION
Upper ventilation:
The upper air intake (Fig. A) allows air to
enter onto the upper part of the head and
thus renew the air in the head section. The
channels incorporated in the internal shock
absorbers facilitate the circulation of air
over the surface of the head.
The quality and design of the textile comfort
parts contribute to the proper distribution
of air. The position of the upper ventilation
system is designed to optimise the effec-
tiveness of its intake of air. Depending on
the type of your motorbike, the fairing may
reduce the effectiveness of this ventilation.
The ventilation is in the open position
when pushed backwards and closed when
pushed forwards (Fig. B).
WARNING! Do not open or close any
vents while operating your motorcycle.
You could lose control of your motorcycle,
resulting in an accident, personal injury or
death.
5-YEAR WARRANTY
You have recently purchased a SHARK helmet for
your safety and pleasure. It has been designed with
the greatest
care to satisfy your every requirement. For your safety,

rules of prudence when using your two-wheeled
vehicle. The SHARK 5-YEAR warranty guarantees the
initial purchaser
that any possible manufacturing fault or material
defect will be covered by the SHARK warranty.

If during the warranty period (5 years as from the
date of purchase), a problem covered by the war-
ranty were to arise, SHARK, through the intermediary
of its sales network, undertakes to repair or replace
any defective components, up to a maximum limit
which is the purchase value of the helmet. Any labour
costs are normally paid by the SHARK network, but
are submitted for approval prior to the work being
carried out. If the repair requires components to be
dispatched incurring transportation costs, the SHARK
network shall cover these costs up to a limit which is
the cost of transport by the national postal service at
the normal rate.
EXCLUSIONS
This warranty only covers problems related to mate-
rials or manufacturing. SHARK cannot be held liable
with regard to the product in the following cases :
Any damage following
1) a fall or accident
2) a technical modification made by the user or a third
party (glue, adhesives, paint, screws, etc.)

dynamics, etc. SHARK cannot be held liable for the
temporary non-availability of the helmet while it is
being enhanced to satisfy the needs of its owner. In
all cases, the maximum warranty period is 5 years.
Replacement of a component during this period does
not prolong this period.
PROCEDURE
When the helmet is sold go to our website www.
sharkhelmets.com in order to activate your warranty.
All warranty
claims must be made to the SHARK dealer that sold
the helmet. For a warranty claim to be considered, the
purchaser must notify the dealer of the problem that
has arisen, and return the helmet that is the subject
of the claim, together with the warranty card filled out
when the helmet was purchased. This warranty does
not affect in any way the statutory rights of the pur-
chaser as stipulated by directive 1999/44CE. The ef-
fects of this specific and limited warranty shall come
to an end after a period of 5 years as from the date
of purchase. After this period, if you continue to use a
helmet regularly, we recommend that to benefit from
optimum protection and comfort you should replace
your helmet. This is because certain external factors
- general wear, certain impacts - could be prejudicial
to the safety characteristics of this essential piece of
protective equipment.
LIMIT
SHARK reserves the right to carry out work within the
terms of the warranty using replacement parts from
the most recent version compatible with the model
concerned, and is unable to guarantee perfect har-
monisation of
the paint or decorative elements associated with
specific production runs and/or limited editions. In
addition, the
natural deterioration of colours over a period of time
can cause mismatching in the adaptation of colours
of spare
parts. If SHARK is unable to carry out the repair for
technical reasons or because a component is not
available, SHARK undertakes to make the customer
an advantageous offer, taking account of the age of
the helmet, consisting in either an identical new hel-
met or an equivalent model manufactured at the time
of the repair, if the original
model is no longer available.
