Change The Face Shield On A Fulmer Helmet

Fulmer's line of full-face motorcycle helmets are equipped with the company's QR1 quick-release face shield mechanism, allowing the wearer to quickly and easily replace his helmet's face shield without tools. Release levers built into the face shields' base plates -- the pivot mechanisms on both sides of the helmet's eye port -- are easily operated with your thumbs to make the entire process as pain-free as possible. Once the old face shield is removed, installing the new shield takes only a few seconds, giving you more time to ride and less time fussing with your helmet.


Instructions


1. Place the helmet on your knee, facing away from you, and raise the face shield until it is completely open.


2. Place your palms on both sides of the face shield, and hook your fingers under the edge of the shield. Push down on the base plate's release levers with your thumbs, and lift the face shield upward with your fingers until it pops off of the helmet.


3. Hold the sides of your new face shield in your palms, and place it in a completely opened position against the helmet's base plates. Press the sides of the face shield against the round catch on the base plates with your palms.


4. Push the face shield down into a closed position until the base plates' release levers click shut.


5. Move the face shield between its fully closed and fully opened positions to ensure that the shield is locked into place against the base plates.
