3. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to correctly install or replace your Soman helmet visor. Always handle the visor with care to avoid scratches.

1. Preparation: Ensure your helmet is clean and free of debris around the visor mechanism.
2. Remove Old Visor (if applicable): Locate the release mechanism on both sides of your helmet. This usually involves a lever or button. Carefully disengage the old visor from its pivot points.
3. Align New Visor: Position the new Soman visor with the pivot points on your helmet. Ensure the visor is oriented correctly (the top edge should be facing upwards).
4. Attach Visor: Gently press the visor into the pivot points until it clicks securely into place on both sides. Do not force it.
5. Test Functionality: Open and close the visor several times to ensure it moves smoothly and locks securely in both the open and closed positions. Check for any gaps or loose connections.

4. Operating the Visor

The Soman visor is designed for smooth operation. To open or close the visor, gently push it up or pull it down. The visor should move freely and securely latch into its fully closed position, providing full protection against wind and dust. Avoid sudden or excessive force when operating the visor to prevent damage to the mechanism or the visor itself.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the clarity of your Soman helmet visor.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Gentle Cleaning: Use only mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the polycarbonate material and any protective coatings.
• Soft Cloth: Wipe the visor with a soft, clean microfiber cloth. Do not use paper towels or rough fabrics, which can scratch the surface.
• Drying: Allow the visor to air dry or gently pat it dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Storage:

When not in use, store your helmet and visor in a protective bag or case to prevent scratches and exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Soman helmet visor, refer to the following common solutions:

• Poor Fitment: Ensure the visor is correctly aligned and securely clicked into both pivot points. Refer to the installation instructions and video.
• Visor Not Moving Smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the pivot mechanism. Clean the mechanism if necessary. Ensure the visor is not overtightened if adjustable.
• Scratches or Damage: Polycarbonate visors are durable but not scratch-proof. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials and rough handling. Minor scratches may be polished with specialized kits, but deep scratches may require replacement.
• Fogging: While the visor offers clear vision, extreme temperature differences can cause fogging. Consider anti-fog treatments or inserts if persistent.
