Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use, maintenance, and care of your Nolan N90-2 Euclid N-Com helmet. Please read it thoroughly before using the helmet to ensure your safety and to maximize the product's lifespan.
The Nolan N90-2 is a modular motorcycle helmet designed for comfort and safety, featuring an N-Com communication system predisposition and ECE 22.06 safety certification.
Safety Information
Always wear your helmet correctly and ensure the chin strap is securely fastened. A helmet cannot protect against all possible impacts. Replace your helmet after any significant impact, even if visible damage is not apparent.
Do not modify the helmet in any way, as this may compromise its protective capabilities and void the warranty.
Setup and Initial Use
Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the helmet from its packaging. Inspect the helmet for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is found, do not use the helmet and contact your retailer immediately.
Fitting the Helmet
The helmet should fit snugly around your head without causing pressure points. It should not move freely when you shake your head. If the helmet is too loose, it may not provide adequate protection.
To put on the helmet:
- Hold the helmet by the chin straps.
- Pull the chin straps outwards to widen the opening.
- Slide the helmet onto your head, ensuring your ears are not folded.
- Adjust the internal padding for a comfortable and secure fit.
Securing the Chin Strap
The Nolan N90-2 uses a micrometric buckle closure system.
- Insert the ribbed tab into the buckle until it clicks securely.
- Pull the strap to ensure it is tight under your chin. It should be snug but not uncomfortable.
- To release, lift the red lever and pull the ribbed tab out.
Ensure the chin strap is always securely fastened before riding.
Operating the Helmet Features
Visor Operation
The clear outer visor can be opened and closed using the tab located at the bottom center. It features multiple detent positions for airflow control.
Internal Sun Visor (VPS)
The integrated sun visor can be deployed or retracted using the slider mechanism on the left side of the helmet. This provides convenient sun protection without needing to change visors.
Do not use the internal sun visor in low light conditions or at night.
Modular Chin Bar Operation
The N90-2 is a modular helmet, allowing the chin bar to be raised. To raise the chin bar:
- Locate the release button on the chin bar.
- Press the button and lift the chin bar upwards until it locks into the open position.
To lower the chin bar, simply pull it down until it clicks securely into place.
Always ensure the chin bar is fully locked in the closed position before riding at speed.
Ventilation System
The helmet features adjustable vents for optimal airflow:
- Top Vent: Slide the lever to open or close the top vent for crown ventilation.
- Chin Vent: Slide the lever on the chin bar to open or close the chin vent for defogging and facial ventilation.
N-Com Communication System Predisposition
The Nolan N90-2 is designed to accommodate the N-Com communication system. Refer to the N-Com system's specific manual for installation and operation instructions.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning the Exterior
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 helmet's finish and materials.
Visor Cleaning and Removal
Clean the visor with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, soak the visor in warm water before cleaning. Do not use abrasive materials.
To remove the visor for cleaning or replacement, refer to the quick-release mechanism instructions provided with your helmet. Typically, this involves pressing a release button or lever on each side of the visor pivot.
Internal Padding Care
The internal comfort padding is removable and washable. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting into the helmet. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage
Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a helmet bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet feels too loose or too tight. | Incorrect size or improper fit. | Ensure correct size. Adjust internal padding if possible. If still loose, consider a smaller size. If too tight, consider a larger size. |
| Visor fogs up easily. | Lack of ventilation; temperature difference. | Open chin and top vents. Consider using an anti-fog insert (Pinlock, if compatible). |
| Chin bar does not lock securely. | Obstruction or misalignment. | Ensure no debris is blocking the locking mechanism. Push firmly until it clicks into place. If issue persists, contact support. |
