Check the side mechanism for debris or dust and apply a light application of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal safety and performance, the helmet should fit snugly around the crown of your head without causing pressure points. When installing an intercom system, utilize the designated internal pockets to avoid wire strain. For care, clean the visor only with a microfiber cloth and mild soap or specialized visor cleaner; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the optical coating. The interior pads should be gently hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried to preserve their shape and material integrity.
