The use of silicone oil on motorcycle helmets is mainly to lubricate the lens base or the gear part connecting the mask to the helmet to ensure that the lens or mask can be opened and closed smoothly. The following are the steps and precautions for using silicone oil on motorcycle helmets:
Usage steps
Prepare silicone oil: Make sure the silicone oil is designed for the helmet lens base or connecting gear, and avoid using other types of lubricants.
Clean the lens base: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently wipe the lens base and connecting gear parts to remove dust and impurities.
Apply silicone oil: Drop silicone oil on the lubrication points of the lens base or connecting gear. Usually only one drop is needed for each maintenance.
Apply evenly: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to apply silicone oil evenly on the lubrication points, making sure that each buckle point or gear is fully lubricated.
Test the lens or mask: Gently open and close the lens or mask to make sure they can move smoothly without jamming or abnormal noise.
Precautions
Appropriate use: Do not apply excessive silicone oil to avoid contaminating the inside of the helmet or affecting vision.
Regular lubrication: Lubricate the lens base or connecting gear regularly according to the use environment and intensity. It is usually recommended to lubricate once every six months.
Safe use: When applying silicone oil, make sure your hands are dry to avoid silicone oil entering the eyes or damaged skin.
Following the above steps and precautions can ensure the correct use of silicone oil on motorcycle helmets, thereby extending the service life of the helmet and improving riding safety.
