Thank you for choosing a Vancore hel-
met. The Vancore is a top-quality helmet
that is ideal for use for urban and extra
urban area. The helmet complies with in-
ternational standards but does not purport
to guarantee total protection in all circums-
tances.
Make sure you carefully read all of the
following recommendations before using
the helmet. Just because you are wearing
a helmet does not mean you should neglect
driving carefully.
Standard: This Vancore helmet has
been approved and conforms to the ECE
R22/05 standard.
It therefore meets the requirements
imposed on all the countries that recognize
this standard in their territory.
WARNING! for French traffic, the
Highway Code requires safety reflectors
(supplied separately in a packet) to be
fitted in accordance with the enclosed
plan. In the United States and Canada,
specific regulations require that hel-
mets that only have ECE approval can-
not be used in these territories unless
they have acquired additional DOT
FMVSS 218 approval.

A HELMETS IN YOUR SIZE
For a helmet to provide effective pro-
tection while remaining comfortable, it has to
be perfectly suited to its user.
Choosing the correct size is essential.
Measure the circumference of your head
with a tape measure, positioning it about 2
cm above your eyebrows: this is where your
head is the largest. Once you have taken this
measurement, compare it to the table of sizes.
Try the size of Vancore helmet closest to the
measurement obtained, starting with the size
smaller than your head measurement.
If you feel that the contact is too hard, try
the size larger.
Your head should be held quite rmly but you
should feel no discomfort.
Tests for size must be carried out with the
chin strap tightened (please refer to the sec-
tion on page 8 for instructions on tightening the
chin strap). Check that you have good vertical
and horizontal visibility.
Check that your head can carry out all of
these movements without any particular dis-
comfort.
Check that when the chin strap is tightened,
the helmet cannot be removed from your head
when you try to move it forward by force. If
the helmet comes off or nearly comes off, it is
too big or else the chin strap is not correctly
tightened.
Keep trying on helmets until you nd the
ideal size.
WARNING! do not lend your helmet, even for
a short journey, if its size is not perfectly
suitable. For each use of your helmet, it is
absolutely necessary to make sure that the
helmet is well positioned on your head, and
that the chin strap is properly adjusted, fol-
lowing the instructions of this manual.

CHIN STRAP MICROMETRIC BUCKLE
ADVISE FOR USE
1/ 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
movement, you are advised to keep the two
sections of the chin strap apart with your
thumbs so that they are properly positioned.
1 - Put the helmet rst against your neck (A).
2 - Then switch towards the front (B).
To remove, reverse operations
Position the protective parts of the chin strap
buckle correctly and fasten it in accordance
with the recommendations that are appro-
priate to the versions and country.
Check that the tension and therefore the posi-
tioning of the helmet are correct for all posi-
tions.
2/ Removing the helmet
Release the chin strap; hold the two sections
slightly apart as for putting the helmet on and
remove the helmet (D).

ADVICE FOR USE
HOLDING SYSTEM
Depending on the various versions and the
country concerned, your SHARK Vancore helmet
is equipped with a chin strap with a “Precise
Lock” rapid buckle with a snap lock. The “Pre-
cise Lock” snap lock system gives you precise
and accurate adjustment because of the consi-
derable 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 Vancore 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 rmly 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. B).
The tongue connects and is automatically bloc-
ked. To release the chin strap, you have to pull
on the lever 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
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.

GOGGLES
The helmet SHARK Vancore must be exclusi-
vely used with glasses of protection SHARK
reference VZ 7400 approved according to
the European standard IN 1938 2010. Your
Vancore helmet has a pair of goggles Optic
by Carl Zeiss used as glasses of protection
for your eyes.
These goggles feature a double cylindrical
lens to obtain better visibility. The internal
display has a high performance anti-fog
treatment.
WARNING! the category of tint of glasses
VZ 7400 is of category 2 and are not
thus adapted to the driving in every case
where the visibility is reduced: at the
beginning or at the end of day, at nights,
weather of rain or fog.
MAINTENANCE
For protection and improve its life, the outer
surface of your goggles Vancore is anti-
scratch treated. When cleaning the lens, use
lukewarm water (below 40 degrees) and
a soft cloth in microber delivered with
goggles to wipe the lens. Neutral soap as
“savon de Marseille” can help you clean up.

TEXTILE PARTS
Type
The textile and foam parts providing com-
fort to the Vancore make it easy for you
to appreciate the performance of your
helmet to the best. 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 satis-
factorily. We treat surfaces to limit the risk
of mould and bacteria.
Always in one concerns of hygiene, the
outer seal are treated against bacteria,
what allows avoiding their proliferation
when we put the helmet.
Treatment
WARNING! although they are selected
for their quality of resistance and sa-
tisfactory 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 replacement parts and also offer
you cheek pads of different thicknesses
and densities, should the standard
selection not correspond to the contours
of your face.
Maintenance
The interior textile parts are washable;
it is important to follow the instruc-
tions 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 aggres-
sive 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 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 house-
hold soap and rinse with clean water.
Avoid allowing too much water to come
into contact with polystyrene parts.
It is essential to ensure that all inte-
rior parts are perfectly dry before using
the helmet.

VENTILATION
To maximize comfort including ventilation
of Vancore, R&D has produced a new concept
combining creating air channels
in the damping elements and insertion
of broadcasters in the cap thermo com-
pressed.
The air ow is optimal cooling and allows
a real skull.
Air enters through the upper front ventilation
(Fig. A), circulates and cools the head through
the diffusers integrated in internal damping
elements.
The quality and design of textile comfort par-
ticipate in the dissemination of good air. The
position of the upper ventilation is determined
to maximize the effectiveness of its air intake.
Depending on your machine, the fairing
can reduce the effectiveness of the ventilation.
Ventilation is open when the selector
is on the back (Fig. A).
To close it, just put the selector ahead (Fig. B)

WARRANTY
5 years Warranty
You have recently purchased a SHARK helmet for your
safety and pleasure. It has been designed with the grea-
test care to satisfy your every requirement. For your sa-
fety, and that of your passenger, you must respect all the
rules of prudence when using your two-wheeled vehicle.
The SHARK 5-YEAR warranty guarantees the initial pur-
chaser 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, undertakes to repair or replace any defective
components, up to a maximum limit which is the pur-
chase value of the helmet. Any labour costs are normally
paid by the SHARK network, but are submitted for appro-
val 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 trans-
port 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 modication made by the user or a third
party (glue, adhesives, paint, screws, etc.)
3) use of or contact with: harmful chemical products
(including 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 cannot consider subjective considerations rela-
ted to use of the helmet as defects covered by the war-
ranty: problems with comfort, size, noise or whistling,
aerodynamics, 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.shark-
helmets.com in order to activate your warranty. All war-
ranty 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 lled out when the hel-
met 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 specic 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t from
optimum protection and comfort you should replace your
helmet. This is because certain external factors - gene-
ral 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 concer-
ned, and is unable to guarantee perfect harmonisation of
the paint or decorative elements associated with specic
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 of-
fer, 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
