SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE NOTE:
The Helite Airshell Vest Outer, Helite Airshell Prestige Outer, Helite Airshell Jacket Outer and Helite AirJump Jacket Outer all require a Zip’In airbag in order to work correctly as a complete system. Failure to use a Zip’In Airbag with these products will not give adequate protection on its own. Each of these outers can, however, be used as a normal jacket or vest. The instructions below are intended for use with both the outer and Zip’In products together.
CAUTION, failure to follow safety instructions could lead to your airbag malfunctioning or reduce its effectiveness.
Be sure to choose the right size of airbag according to your body shape. If you need help with sizing or fitting please email orders@heliteuk.co.uk
The Helite airbag should not be considered as a substitute for other protective equipment such as helmets, back protectors etc.
You must not wear an Helite airbag if you weigh less than 35 kg.
Do not remove or modify any part of the airbag or the jacket fabric. This will invalidate your warranty and may stop the airbag from firing when needed.
Do not forget to remove the CO2 canister once used (use the same brand and same capacity when reloading).
Take out any sharp objects from your pockets before using your Helite airbag.
Check that your airbag is in good working condition, i.e. no rips or tears, before each use.
Store your Helite airbag on a clothes hanger in a dry place. Keep away from high temperatures and humidity
. Do not sew or stick anything onto the Helite airbag (neither the airbag itself nor its fabric) as it could pierce the airbag and prevent it from working properly. Please make sure that the lanyard is firmly attached to the saddle and that the saddle strap is fitted correctly whilst using the airbag system.
Keep out of reach of children.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The actual amount of force required to trigger the airbag varies depending on the size of your airbag (Child S -> 6XL). This mechanical system avoids unexpected airbag activation. If the rider forgets to detach from his/her saddle, they will feel a strong pulling tension prior to activation (the airbag may still be triggered).
An airbag cannot guarantee the complete safety of the rider, but it will offer considerable extra protection. It does not protect against injuries for the parts of the body that are not covered by the airbag.
The CO2 canister is not re-usable. A used or damaged canister will have to be recycled or disposed in accordance with your country’s legislation.
The airbag sheaths may get damaged or pierced during a fall if they hit a sharp object.
If the horse falls down and the rider stays in the saddle (rotational fall), the airbag system may not activate.
This PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) contains no known allergenic substances. The design will not cause any irritation or discomfort to the wearer.
No body protection can prevent death, serious injury or personal injury.
