If the
m
2
device has been activated, there are two ways in which the device can be again made functional:
Performance of a device and cutter: complete the form included in the manual with a detailed description of the event (activation) and send the
form, along with the entire
m
2
device, to the address of either the manufacturer, MarS a.s. or an authorized dealer. The cutter will be replaced by the
manufacturer or authorized dealer and the fully functional device will be sent back to the user within 14 days, at the latest, of having received the device.
Replacement of the activated cutter performed by the user or rigger. To
replace the cutter, the device must be switched off; the work should be
done in a clean and dry environment, according to the instructions below.
With a TORX T8 screwdriver, release and completely unscrew the retaining
screw (2) securing the connector (1) of the cutter (7) to the
m
2
device body
(4). Gently pull and turn the connector (1) in any direction and remove it
completely.
Check that the connector area on the
m
2
device body (4) is clean and
whether the old ‘O‘ sealing ring that was part of the original connector (1)
is still in place.
Lubricate the “O” rings on the connector of the new cutter with silicone
(7) (any silicone gel can be used, including silicone used for treating the closing lug on the reserve parachute - ATTENTION! – apply only a thin layer
of silicone) and check that the ‚O‘ sealing rings are correctly placed on the connector.
Insert the connector (1) of the new cutter (7) into the
m
2
device body (4) by gently pressing and turning the connector (1) in any direction until the
connector (1) is completely inserted into the
m
2
device body (4).
Check for proper functioning of the whole
m
2
device by switching it on.
If everything is correct, secure the connector (1) of the cutter (7) to the
m
2
device body (4) with the retaining screw (4).
Just slightly tighten the locking screw. Never use excessive force if you have a problem loosening the screw. Cool the device in the freezer
compartment, the contraction and expansion of various materials will loosen the screw.
Never place the used cutter in an open fire or common waste. The cutter remains under pressure!
