5. Instructions
5.1 Preparing, putting on and deploying the air-
bag
01 Check that the airbag system has been installed
correctly before entering terrain with a potential av-
alanche risk. Follow the instructions in Section 5.3.
02 Always check the filling pressure of the cartridge
before use.
A Cartridge with pressure gauge: At a room tem-
perature of 20 °C / 68 °F, the arrow must be in the
green area.
B Cartridge without pressure gauge: the actual
weight of the cartridge (without protective cap)
must correspond to the weight indicated on the
cartridge (+/-5 g).

03 Screw the cartridge all the way into the mechanism,
secure it in the cartridge pocket using the Velcro
closure and close the pocket. Make sure there are
no foreign objects in the pocket. The Mammut air-
bag may be used only with Mammut or Snowpulse
cartridges.
CAUTION:
Screw the cartridge in completely (the
black rubber seal must not be visible). The cartridge
must be secured using velcro.

04 Adjust the height of the deployment handle on the
left shoulder strap. There are three different set-
tings (S/M/L). The handle should ideally be at chest
height. The hook should be pushed securely into
the loop, as shown in the graphic.
Close the upper zipper until it is just below the at-
tachment. Use the lower zipper to install and re-
move the handle.
You can lock the zipper by folding the handle up.

05 It is important to ensure that the Protection Airbag
System 3.0 is sitting correctly, since this deter-
mines the angle to the body at which the airbag
deploys. The back height of all Protection air-
bags must therefore be adjusted to the user. The
length of the back can be continuously adjusted.
In general, the backpack is sitting correctly if your
shoulders are in line with the airbag opening. The
diagram is provided for guidance. For comfort rea-
sons, the position may vary from the preferred set-
ting. However, make sure that the airbag does not
sit too low, as shown. Adjust the hip belt using the
Velcro closure on the back of the hip belt padding.
