The HJ-39 shield is designed for quick and secure attachment via its ratchet system. Ensure the shield is properly seated in its mechanism. The dark smoke sun visor is pre-installed and features a 3-step adjustable positioning. Familiarize yourself with its operation before riding.

3.3 Montaggio del casco

Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it fits snugly without excessive pressure points. The helmet should not move freely when you shake your head. Fasten the chin strap firmly, ensuring it is tight enough to prevent the helmet from rolling off your head but not uncomfortably restrictive.

4. Operativo

4.1 Sistema di ventilazione

The RPHA 31 features a comprehensive ventilation system with two intake vents at the front and four exhaust vents at the rear. Adjust these vents as needed to control airflow and maintain comfort during your ride. Open vents increase airflow, while closing them reduces it.

4.2 Sun Visor Operation

The integrated sun visor can be adjusted to three different positions to adapt to varying light conditions. Use the dedicated lever or mechanism on the helmet to deploy or retract the sun visor. Ensure it is fully retracted when not in use to avoid obstructing your vision.

The HJ-39 shield is Pinlock ready. If your helmet did not come with a Pinlock insert pre-installed, you can install one to prevent fogging. Follow the instructions provided with the Pinlock insert for proper installation and maintenance.

The HJC RPHA 31 helmet is designed for seamless integration with SMART HJC 21B & 50B Bluetooth communication systems. These systems are sold separately. Refer to the specific user manual for your SMART HJC Bluetooth system for detailed installation and operation instructions.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia dell'esterno

Clean the helmet's exterior shell with a soft cloth and mild soap diluted in lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the helmet's finish and materials. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

5.2 Pulizia degli interni

The crown and cheek pads of the RPHA 31 are removable and washable. Carefully detach them from the helmet. Hand wash them using a mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-installing them into the helmet. Ensure they are fully dry to prevent mildew.

5.3 Shield Care

Clean the HJ-39 shield with a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized helmet visor cleaner or mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive materials or paper towels, as they can scratch the shield's surface. For Pinlock inserts, follow the cleaning instructions provided with the insert.

5.4 Conservazione

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 when not in use. Avoid storing it near chemicals or fuels that could degrade the helmet materials.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

6.1 Visor Issues

If the visor does not close completely or appears loose, inspect the shield's ratchet mechanism for proper alignment or damage. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. If parts are broken, a replacement shield or mechanism components may be necessary. Consult an authorized HJC dealer for assistance.

6.2 Disagio da calzata

If you experience discomfort, particularly on the forehead, ensure the helmet is correctly sized and positioned on your head. The internal padding is designed to conform over time, but if discomfort persists, verify the helmet size or consider if alternative padding options are available from HJC.

6.3 Rumore eccessivo del vento

Ensure the HJ-39 shield is fully closed and properly sealed against the helmet's gasket. Check that all ventilation ports are closed if you are trying to minimize noise. A snug fit around the neck roll can also help reduce wind intrusion.
