STEP 7
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE ACTIVATION HANDLE
a
Check when wearing the backpack if the
activation handle is positioned in a way that
works for you. Usually that is the case, if not,
the handle attachment can be adjusted to the
appropriate height. The proper position of the
activation handle should be between chest and
shoulder.
a
In order to adjust the height, open the broad
Velcro flap, remove the aluminium bar from the
shoulder belt and slide it into desired position
through the vertical band. Use the Velcro closure
to re-affix the handle plate to the shoulder belt.
STEP 9
PRACTICE ACTIVATION
a
We want you to feel 100% comfortable with the
ABS
®
-System. We therefore strongly recommend
that you practice the triggering as part of your
training so that the functional principle can be
demonstrated as realistically as possible. Please
ensure that during the practice activation the
distance to people and objects is approximately
1 m (3.28 feet) in order to avoid adverse affects.
Activate the handle with a strong, rapid pull.
a
The required activation force equals approx. 8 kg
(17.64 lb; 80 N). The airbags will inflate within 2-3
seconds.
a
Attention! Background noise after inflation is
caused by the release valve, which automatically
equalizes the pressure. The inflation of
the airbags varies according to the outside
temperature and elevation.
STEP 10
DEFLATE AIRBAGS
a
Grab with both hands under the net cover over
the valve. Now fold up the red cover and press
the release valve in the centre of the black suction
and release valve. At the same time, compress the
airbag until it is completely empty.
STEP 8
REMOVE ACTIVATION HANDLE
a
In order to remove the handle, push the coupler
upwards. The activation handle will pop out
without you pulling on it. Do not pull the charged
activation handle, the system will be activated! If
you are not able to remove the activation handle
refer to point 14.1.
a
Make sure that the activation handle is not
obstructed by clothing and that it can be easily
reached.
a
A retail shop will be able to attach the activation
handle on the right-hand strap if so desired by
left-handed clients. A special handle plate is
needed.*

Remove the handle when ABS backpack is not in
use and store it in the pocket located at the hip belt.
