COMPATIBLE CLOTHING

ACCESSORIES

The vest is delivered with a CO2 gas cartridge, an arming key, its connection strap and its saddle strap. The gas cartridges must be used with care and stored at a temperature below 40°. It is imperative to buy only approved cartridges of the Helite brand, and to change them after each triggering!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The CO2 cartridge must be screwed firmly and completely into the case. Once in place, do not attempt to unscrew or remove it.

The two ends of the saddle cord must be attached to the knives of your saddle, before your stirrup leathers. Next, the connecting strap should be attached to the saddle cord, via its designated carabiner.

It is the connecting strap, directly connected to the gas cartridge with a ball, which will allow the release of the cartridge in case of a fall. The traction force necessary for the proper functioning of the airbag vest is 25kg for all sizes, or an internal pressure of the airbag of 350 mBar.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Brush the vest with a slightly dampened stiff bristle brush, then air dry on a hanger.
