least one test deployment before the winter season
begins.
Using the Trigger Test tool
01 Screw the Trigger Test tool all the way into the de-
ployment mechanism. Caution: the Trigger Test
Tool must not be overtightened.
02 Put the backpack on (see Section 5.1). In order to
make the deployment as realistic as possible, we
recommend wearing your skiing clothes during the
test deployment. Deploying the airbag while wear-
ing gloves is particularly good practice.
03 Deploy your avalanche airbag as described in Sec-
tion 5.1.
04 Then unscrew the Trigger Test tool from the deploy-
ment mechanism.

5.6 Attaching equipment to the backpack

Our backpack models offer a number of options for at-
taching a variety of equipment to your backpack. The
following points should be considered:
01 It is important to ensure that any attachment of
additional equipment does not inhibit the deploy-
ment of the airbag. In other words: Do not block
the opening of the airbag (e.g. attaching a rope to
the backpack).
02 Your shovel and probe can be placed in your back-
pack. Most backpacks have a separate compart-
ment for safety equipment.
03 Your ice ax can be attached to the outside of your
backpack. Always use a protective ax cap, such
as the Mammut Ice Spike Protection. This prevents
the tip of the ax damaging the avalanche airbag in
an emergency. The Ice Spike Protection is suitable
for most popular mountain tour ice axes.
04 We recommend that you always attach your skis
diagonally across your backpack. Although fix-
ing your skis in a A-shape is possible, we advise
doing so only in safe terrain. Fixing your skis in an
A-shape can impair the inflation of the airbag.

6 Cartridges

6.1. General

The pressure cartridges are the airbag system's en-
ergy store. We stock a number of cartridges that are
compatible with the Protection Airbag System 3.0. All
cartridges that were compatible with the Inflation Sys-
tem 2.0 (from 2011/2012) are also compatible with the
new Airbag System 3.0.
One cartridge allows only one deployment. After de-
ployment the empty cartridge must be refilled.

6.2 Types and refilling

Use only Mammut or Snowpulse cartridges with
Mammut airbags:
Carbon cartridges
These are the lightest cartridges we stock and must
be replaced by a Mammut retailer after deployment.
Many Mammut retailers offer a cost-effective price for
exchanging old cartridges for new ones. Not available
in the USA and Canada.
Steel cartridges
Steel cartridges must be replaced by a Mammut re-
tailer after deployment. Many Mammut retailers offer
a cost-effective price for exchanging old cartridges
for new ones. Not available in the USA and Canada.
Aluminum cartridges
Aluminum cartridges are distributed mainly in the
USA and Canada. Customers can refill the cartridges
themselves. Please read our manual for refilling car-
tridges and refer to the list of official filling stations for
207 bar aluminum cartridges:
