Safety Information

Your HJC i10 helmet is designed to provide significant protection. Adherence to safety guidelines is paramount.

• Certification: This helmet meets or exceeds U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) FMVSS No. 218 standards and Snell M2020. These certifications ensure the helmet has passed rigorous impact and penetration tests.
• Proper Fit: A helmet must fit snugly and comfortably. An improperly fitted helmet can compromise its protective function. Refer to the fitting guide (if provided separately) or consult a professional for proper sizing.

Setup and Initial Use

Helmet Fitting

Ensure the helmet fits securely on your head. It should be snug around your cheeks and crown without causing pressure points. The chin strap must be fastened correctly and tightly under your chin.

Visor Installation and Adjustment

The HJ-31 Pinlock ready shield provides 99% UV protection. If installing a Pinlock anti-fog insert (sold separately), follow the instructions provided with the insert. Ensure the shield operates smoothly and latches securely in both open and closed positions.

Bluetooth Communication System Integration

The i10 helmet is designed for seamless integration with Smart HJC Bluetooth communication systems (20B and 10B, sold separately). Refer to the specific instructions provided with your Smart HJC system for installation and pairing procedures.

Operating Instructions

Ventilation System

The Advanced Channeling Ventilation System is designed to maximize airflow, expelling heat and humidity. Locate the intake vents on the front of the helmet (chin and forehead) and exhaust vents at the rear. Adjust these vents as needed to control airflow and maintain comfort during your ride.

Visor Operation

The HJ-31 shield offers a large field of view and smooth operation. To open or close the visor, use the tab located at the bottom center. Ensure the visor is fully closed when riding to protect against wind, debris, and impacts. Optional mirrored shields are available (sold separately).

Maintenance

Interior Cleaning

The MultiCool interior features removable and washable crown and cheek pads. To clean:

1. Carefully remove the crown and cheek pads from the helmet.
2. Hand wash the pads in lukewarm water with a mild soap or helmet-specific cleaner.
3. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before re-installing. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Exterior Cleaning

Clean the helmet's exterior shell with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the HJ-31 shield, use a soft, damp cloth and clean water. Do not use harsh chemicals or paper towels, which can scratch the surface. Allow to air dry.

Storage

Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a helmet bag to protect it from scratches and dust.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your HJC i10 helmet.

• Visor Fogging: Ensure the Pinlock insert (if installed) is properly seated. Adjust ventilation to increase airflow. Consider using anti-fog treatments if fogging persists without a Pinlock.
• Excessive Noise: Check that the visor is fully closed and sealed. Ensure all vents are properly adjusted. Wind noise can vary based on motorcycle type, riding position, and external conditions.
• Discomfort/Pressure Points: Re-evaluate helmet fit. If discomfort persists, the helmet size or shape may not be suitable for your head. Consult a professional for assistance.
• Bluetooth System Issues: Refer to the specific user manual for your Smart HJC Bluetooth communication system for troubleshooting pairing, connection, or audio problems.
