REMOVAL OF KBC FFR HELMET SHIELD:

All KBC Helmets utilize a very simple and effective shield removal mechanism system.  NO TOOLS ARE REQUIRED.  The shield can be removed and replaced very easily and quickly.  Follow the diagram shown here.  First, open the shield and locate the shield spring pin.  Pull downward on this component to release the mechanism.  The shield will 'pop off' or release very gently.  Repeat on other side for total removal.  To reattach the shield, locate the shields central circular mechanism and push into central spring loaded fixing point on helmet ratchet plate.  Apply moderate pressure to both sides using your hands to latch the shield onto the guide pins.  Then gently close the shield.  Open and close the shield several times to ensure shield is fixed correctly, before using the helmet, as incorrect fixing could cause shield to shear or fall off when riding and could cause an accident.
NOTE: Some KBC helmets share a common shield system. Please ensure any new shield purchased is for the your helmet's system.
Models: VR3, VR2, Force RR, Force S share a shield system.  Models: FFR and TK8 use a different system. AR1 (Racer-1) and TK77 also use a different system.

KBC FFR HELMET SHIELD SEALING:
Your helmet is designed to offer a shield sealing effect to prevent rain and wind penetration.  To ensure this operates efficiently, make sure the shield ratchet system is correctly aligned.  Over time the factory fitting may become loose.  Adjust and tighten ratchet screws or ask your KBC dealer for technical assistance.
