4. Opsætning og montering

4.1. Proper Helmet Fit

A properly fitting helmet is crucial for safety. Follow these steps to ensure a correct fit:

1. Mål dit hoved: Use a flexible tape measure to measure the circumference of your head at its largest point, approximately 1 inch above your eyebrows.
2. Vælg størrelse: Refer to the size chart below. If your measurement falls between sizes, try the smaller size first.
3. Prøv hjelmen på: The helmet should feel snug all around your head, with no pressure points. The cheek pads should press firmly against your cheeks.
4. Tjek for bevægelse: With the chin strap fastened, try to rotate the helmet from side to side and front to back. Your skin should move with the helmet, indicating a secure fit. The helmet should not slide independently on your head.
5. Synstjek: Ensure your vision is not obstructed. The top edge of the eye port should be just above your eyebrows.

4.2. Attaching the Electric Shield Cable

The heated electric shield requires connection to a power source (typically your snowmobile's 12V accessory outlet). Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the helmet's shield port and the vehicle's power outlet. Route the cable carefully to avoid interference with steering or other controls.

4.3. Installing/Removing Breathbox and Chin Curtain

The breathbox and chin curtain are removable for customization and cleaning. They typically attach via snaps or hook-and-loop fasteners inside the helmet. Refer to the diagrams (if available in physical manual) for precise attachment points.

5.1. Helmet Configurations

The 509 Delta R3 Ignite offers three primary configurations:

• Full Face: Standard configuration with the main shield and chin bar in place, offering maximum protection.
• Dual Sport: The main shield can be removed, allowing for the use of goggles while retaining the chin bar and visor.
• Open Face: The chin bar and main shield can be removed, converting the helmet into an open-face style (use with caution and appropriate eye protection).

5.2. Main Electric Shield Operation

The main shield can be raised and lowered manually. For optimal fog prevention in cold conditions, ensure the electric shield is powered on. The ITO dual-pane design, combined with the heating element, actively prevents condensation.

5.3. Internal Sun Shield Operation

To deploy the internal orange-tinted sun shield, locate the slider mechanism on the side of the helmet (typically on the left). Slide it down to lower the sun shield and up to retract it. Use this feature to reduce glare in bright conditions.

5.4. Ventilationskontrol

The helmet features adjustable vents (e.g., chin vent, top vents) to control airflow. Open vents for increased ventilation in warmer conditions or during strenuous activity, and close them to retain warmth in colder environments.

5.5. Fidlock® Magnetic Buckle

To fasten the chin strap, bring the two parts of the Fidlock buckle together; the magnets will guide them into place. To release, slide the red tab away from the buckle body. Ensure the strap is adjusted snugly under your chin.

6. Vedligeholdelse og pleje

6.1. Rengøring af hjelmskallen

Clean the helmet shell with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or petroleum-based products, as these can damage the shell material and protective coatings.

6.2. Cleaning the Shields

The main electric shield and internal sun shield should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, which can scratch or damage the anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings. For the electric shield, ensure the power is disconnected before cleaning.

6.3. Cleaning the Interior Liner

The internal liner and cheek pads are removable and washable. Gently remove them from the helmet. Hand wash them with mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely before re-installing. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

6.4. Opbevaring

Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a helmet bag to protect it from dust and scratches. Do not store the helmet near chemicals or solvents.

6.5. Inspektion

Regularly inspect your helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the shell, frayed straps, or compromised EPS liner. If any damage is found, replace the helmet immediately.
