FAQs
How do I ensure the best fit with the Airfit® system?
Start with deflated cheek pads. Inflate slowly using the bulb until the helmet feels snug and secure without pressure points. You should not be able to easily rotate the helmet on your head.
Can I use prescription glasses with this helmet?
The wide eye-opening and the Airfit® system allow for reasonable space. However, fit can vary depending on the size and shape of your glasses. It's recommended to try them with the helmet if possible.
Is the Exolon® shield interchangeable with standard Scorpion shields?
The ADF-9000 Air is designed with the Exolon® shield system. While specific compatibility with other shield types may vary, it is designed for easy user replacement for maintenance or adaptation to goggle use.
How often should I clean the helmet's interior?
It is recommended to clean the interior liner and cheek pads periodically, especially after heavy use or sweating, to maintain hygiene and comfort. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembly.
What makes the ADF-9000 suitable for adventure riding?
Its versatility is key. The ability to switch between a shield and goggles, the durable yet lightweight construction, and the adaptable fit system make it suitable for both paved roads and rugged off-road trails.
What is the benefit of the emergency release system?
The emergency release system allows first responders to quickly and safely remove the helmet's cheek pads, which can help reduce pressure on the head and neck during extraction in critical situations.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or loose
Adjust the Airfit® system by inflating or deflating the cheek pads as needed. Ensure the liner is correctly seated.
Difficulty removing or attaching the main shield
Ensure visor screws are fully loosened by hand. Consult the manual for specific screw mechanisms if resistance is met.
Fogging on the SpeedView™ sun visor
Clean the visor with a soft cloth. For persistent fogging, consider a mild anti-fog treatment, ensuring it's compatible with the visor's coating.
Cheek pads are difficult to remove for cleaning
Familiarize yourself with the emergency release textile loops. Gentle but firm pulling on these loops should release the pads.
