Step 2
Attaching the cartridge
Check if the puncturing unit is clean before attaching the cartridge.
The piercing pin must be visible in the middle. Screw in the full
cartridge right up to the back stop and tight enough that there is
no possibility of another turn.
Check that the cartridge is
screwed in tightly before each
use of the airbag to avoid
leakage and malfunctions.
It should be easy to screw in the cartridge right up to the back
stop. Make sure that the cartridge doesn’t get screwed in on an
angle. If you experience any resistance or if it is really hard to
turn the cartridge right up to the back stop, then
this cartridge
cannot be used!
Your retail shop will exchange the cartridge at
no charge.
Step 3
Attaching straps and belts
Put the backpack on and adjust shoulder straps to fit your body.
Always fasten waist belt, chest and leg straps and fit them accord-
ing to your body. The ABS-System will only be of use to you if the
backpack stays on your body during an emergency!
Most of the weight of the pack should be resting on your hips
rather than being carried by your shoulders.
The carrying system meets
the high European standards
(TÜV guidelines) for extreme
operational demands. The
tensile strength for all weight
bearing straps equals 3000 N
(674lbs).
Tip!
Put on your backpack
before you attach the activation
handle. This way you avoid
an unwanted or inadvertent
activation.
