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 fit and the chin strap must be
securely fastened as described in this
manual. Failure to have a proper fit and
to securely fasten the chin strap is dange-
rous, as the helmet could come off in an
accident, resulting in severe head injury
or death.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
Each helmet is designed to correspond
to a head measurement (from for XS up
to XL). To measure your head size, wrap
a tape measure horizontally around your
head at a height of approximately one
inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows. If
your head measurement falls between
two sizes, first try on the smaller helmet.
However, because of different head
shapes, this size reference can only be
considered as a guide. For maximum pro-
tection, 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 figure A.
2. With the chin strap properly faste-
ned (see instructions), 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 pulled as you move the helmet. If
not, the helmet is too big for you; select
a smaller size. See figure B.

3. Grasp the back of the helmet at the
base and attempt to pull the helmet
off your head. Next, push the helmet
upwards from beneath the chin
guard. You should push and pull with
relatively significant force. If the helmet
starts to come off, the helmet is too big
for you; select a smaller size.
4. Bend your head forward as far as pos-
sible. The chin guard must not touch your
chest. See figure C.
5. Bend your head backwards as far as
possible. The helmet shell must not touch
your back. See figure 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.
If you have any questions about properly
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
fit, you must replace the helmet.
WARNING! Never lend your helmet
to others without insuring a proper
fit in accordance with these instructions.
WARNING! If you cannot obtain
a proper fit in accordance with
these instructions, DO NOT USE THE
HELMET. Select a different helmet size or
model.

ADVICE FOR USE – AERODYNAMICS AND ACOUSTICS
1/ PUTTING ON THE HELMET
To put on the helmet, lower the chin cover, take
hold of the two sections by the buckles and hold
them slightly apart to facilitate the passage of
your head (chin strap released).
While carrying out this movement, 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 recommendations that are appropriate to the
versions and country (see page 7-8).
Check that the tension and therefore the
positioning of the helmet are correct for all
positions.
2/ REMOVING THE HELMET
Unhook the chin strap, lower the chin cover and
hold the two sections slightly apart as for putting
the helmet on and remove the helmet.
3/ AERODYNAMICS AND ACOUSTICS
The SPARTAN has been carefully designed to
offer you the greatest pleasure in use.
The profile of the helmet, its impermeability
and the quality of the materials used enable air
noise on the crown of the head and aerodynamic
turbulence to be filtered as far as possible. In
order for the use of your helmet to be as pleasant
as possible, it is important for turbulence or air
eddies created by the fairings not to impair the
aerodynamic qualities of your SPARTAN and/or
your size should not cause air eddies to reach the
lower part of your helmet.

CHIN STRAP
CHIN STRAP
Depending on the various versions and the country
concerned, your SHARK SPARTAN helmet is equip-
ped 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 measurements.
Adjust the length of the strap using the adjusting
buckle (Figs. A, B, C and D).
Choose your SHARK SPARTAN helmet 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 dis-
comfort 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 buc-
kle. 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 impression 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 fingers. If the strap
loosens in any way, you have not properly tightened
the chin strap with the double-D rings.
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.
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.
B - Then bring the end of the chin strap back through
the lower of the two D rings as shown in the diagram.
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.
D - Slide the free end of the chin strap into the plastic
strap loop on the comfort padding, in order to prevent
the strap from fluttering in the wind.

The sun shield is operated using the button in the upper ventila-
tion. When the sun shield is lowered, the button is in a forward
position; to raise it, move the button toward the back. To ensure
its protection and lengthen its lifespan, the external surface of
the SPARTAN sun shield has been given an anti-scratch treat-
ment. To maintain and clean it, please follow the same instruc-
tions as for the external surface of the visor.
WARNING! If your visor and/or sun shield no longer pro-
vide you with excellent visibility after a period of service, it is ab-
solutely essential for you to replace them. We advise you always

TEXTILE PARTS - CLEANING
THE TEXTILES
The SPARTAN make it easy for you to ap-
preciate fully the performance of your helmet.
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 satis-
factory wear, all the interior padding is subject
to normal wear depending on use and care
and maintenance, the length of use and also
the degree of acidity of your perspiration. If
you note any wear, we advise you to replace
the interior padding in order to keep your
helmet perfectly clean and comfortable. Your
SHARK supplier can propose you with repla-
cement parts and also offer you cheek pads
of different thicknesses and densities, should
the standard selection not correspond to the
contours of your face.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
The interior textile parts are washable; it
is important to follow the instructions below
scrupulously 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 essen-
tial to dry textile and foam parts completely
before using them. They must be dried at
room temperature. 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. Avoid allowing
too much water to come into contact with
polystyrene parts.
WARNING! It is essential to ensure
that all interior parts are perfectly dry
before using the helmet.

VENTILATIONS
VENTILATION INSIDE THE HELMET.
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 po-
sition of the upper ventilation system is designed to
optimise the effectiveness of its intake of air. Depen-
ding on the type of your motorbike, the fairing may
reduce the effectiveness of this ventilation.
The ventilation is in the open position when the
tongue is pushed backwards (1) and closed when
the tongue is pushed forwards (2).
LOWER VENTILATION.
The principal function of this air intake is to direct
a flow of fresh air over the interior surface of the
visor in order to limit the risk of misting. The fresh
air diffused cuts off contact with the hot air emitted
by breathing or even by the head inside the helmet.
To open (1) or close (2) the lower ventilation, press
the button as indicated.
Warning! Do not open or close any vents
while operating your motorcycle. You could
lose control of your motorcycle, resulting in an acci-
dent, personal injury or death.
AERODYNAMICS AND ACOUSTICS
The SPARTAN has been carefully designed to offer
you the greatest pleasure in use.
The profile of the helmet, its impermeability and the
quality of the materials used enable air noise on the
crown of the head and aerodynamic turbulence to
be filtered as far as possible. In order for the use
of your helmet to be as pleasant as possible, it is
important for turbulence or air eddies created by the
fairings not to impair the aerodynamic qualities of
your SPARTAN helmet. The shape of the fairings of
your motorcycle and/or your size should not cause
air eddies to reach the lower part of your helmet.

5 YEARS WARRANTY
5 YEARS 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, and that of
your passenger, you must respect all the rules of prudence
when using your two-wheeled vehicle. The SHARK 5-YEARS
warranty guarantees the initial purchaser that any possible
manufacturing fault or material defect will be covered by the
SHARK warranty.
LIMITATIONS
If during the warranty period (5 years as from the date of
purchase), a problem covered by the warranty were to arise,
SHARK, through the intermediary of its sales network, under-
takes 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 car-
ried 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 materials 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.)
3) use of or contact with: harmful chemical products (inclu-
ding methylated spirits on the visor treatments), or an intense
heat source
4) incorrect use: abnormal conditions (e.g. underwater), lack
of maintenance or care
5) ageing due to normal wear of the inner fabrics or foams,
the appearance of the external parts, or the visor (scratches,
marks, etc.)
6) abnormal and prolonged exposure to ultra-violet light, in
particular for the decorative colours. In addition, SHARK can-
not consider subjective considerations related to use of the
helmet as defects covered by the warranty : problems with
comfort, size, noise or whistling, aerodynamics, etc.
SHARK cannot be held liable for the temporary non-availa-
bility 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.shark-
helmets.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
purchaser as stipulated by directive 1999/44CE.
The effects 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 bene-
fit 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 protec-
tive 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 harmonisation 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
helmet or an equivalent model manufactured at the time of
the repair, if the original model is no longer available.
This warranty is only valid for european continent.
