The protector can be removed via the filling opening to make any repairs.
Make sure to keep sharp objects, such as sticks, away from the harness.
THE PROTECTOR IS NO SEAT CUSHION! SITTING ON THE HAR-
NESS MAY DAMAGE THE PROTECTOR OR SHORTEN ITS LIFE.
IF YOU SUSPECT DAMAGE, TEST FOR LEAKS. WHEN IN DOUBT,
CONTACT YOUR FLARE DEALER OR US DIRECTLY.
INFLATION BY PERMAIR MOUTHPIECE
1. Open the small zipped compartment on the left side of
the PERMAIR protector.
2. Remove the safety cap from the valve.
3. Put the valve in the valve base and make sure that the valve
closes completely and there is no visible gap left. If the
back pressure valve is not yet in the base, press the valve
with both thumbs into the base until you hear a slight click
and no gap is left between valve and base.
4. Connect the gray part of the mouthpiece to the valve.
5. Make sure that the HME-Filter (blue sponge) is located in
the mouthpiece and blow the protector through the trans-
parent opening.
6. The protector is completely filled once you feel significant
air resistance when blowing inside.
7. Separate the inflation bag from the valve, close the valve
with the safety cap and close the zipper.
8. You can fix your mouthpiece on the mounting loop on the
top of the back storage compartment.
AFTER USING THE MOUTH PIECE MAKE SURE IT DRIES OUT
COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU STORE IT AGAIN. FOR HYGIENIC
REASONS PLEASE REPLACE THE MOUTH PIECE AFTER TWO
YEARS OR IF YOU SEE ANY SIGNS OF MOLD.
THE PROTECTOR IS ONLY LEAKPROOF WHEN THE BACK PRES-
SURE VALVE SITS COMPLETELY IN THE VALVE BASE. DUE TO
THE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT MATERIAL BEHAVIOR, IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT THE VALVE IS HARD TO CLOSE AT TEMPERA-
TURES BELOW 10°. IN ORDER TO STILL CLOSE THE VALVE, IT IS
HELPFUL TO PLACE THE HARNESS ON A HARD BUT SMOOTH
SURFACE AND THEN APPLY PRESSURE WITH BOTH THUMBS
ON THE INNER RING OF THE VALVE.
ADDITIONALLY, IT IS HELPFUL TO OPEN THE SAFETY CAP BEFORE
USE AS THE VALVE WILL BE MORE ELASTIC.
PACKING AND COMPRESSING
To deflate the protector, first open the zip compartment and then remove
the valve from the valve base. Be careful not to bend the polyethylen rein-
forcement pads inside the leg pads in order not to deform them constantly.
Therfore please follow the folding suggestion below:
1. Lay the harness flat on the ground and sort all the webbings and lines on
the harness.
2. Fold the harness in the midldle along the vertical axis.
3. Fold both ends into the midlle and make sure the reinforcements in the
leg pads are not bent.
4. Put the harness inside the storage bag
REPLACING THE PROTECTOR
To perform a leak test or to replace the protector, you can remove the pro-
tector from the harness. After each hard landing and any fall from a height of
more than 0.5m, a leak test (page 48) must be performed on the protector.
To remove the protector from the CONTOUR, follow these steps:
1. Open the small zipped compartment on the left side of the PERMAIR
protector.
2. Remove the valve from the valve base.
3. The valve can now be looped out of the fixing loop.
4. Push the valve base through the stiffening. You will need a bit of
strength to do that.
5. The protector is now separated from the shell. There is a small hole
between the outer wall and zipper compartment through which you
can pull out the protector.
