the airbag can now be deployed.
1. Grasp the Deployment Handle (1c) and firmly pull
downward to open the Release Flap (1l) that covers the
airbag and turn the fan on.
2. The airbag will begin to deploy immediately. The fan will
run at full power for 9 seconds, followed by lower speed
operation and short refilling bursts for 3 minutes.
3. The airbag will deflate after 3 minutes and then
automatically switch back to armed mode.
4. To interrupt the inflation/deflation process after the
initial 9 second deployment period and return to armed
mode, press and hold the red Power Button (1d) for
approximately 5 seconds.
REPACKING (Figure 5)
1. Prior to repacking, the airbag must be fully deflated.
2. To manually deflate the airbag:
a. Locate the cylindrical Fan Housing (5a) in the lower
left-side of Airbag Pocket (1i).
b. Locate the thumb-sized square Air Release Slider (5b)
on the fan housing.
c. Move the Air Release Slider upward to open the
valve, then compress the airbag to squeeze out the

remaining air.
3. Locate the Airbag Pocket - Zipper Pull (5c, labeled
"JetForce") underneath the Release Flap (1l) and move it to
the opposite side of the pack.
4. Connect the zipper ends together and zip closed while
evenly stuffing the airbag into the Airbag Pocket. Do not
roll or fold the airbag while stuffing it.
5. Close the zipper all the way to the bottom of the left side of
the pack.
WARNING! It is imperative that the zipper pull (5c) go past the
end of the short side of the zipper, otherwise the airbag will not
deploy. The zipper pull must be disengaged from the short side
of the zipper (see label 5d).
6. Locate the Reset Tab (5e), labeled with a white arrow, near
the bottom of the Release Flap (1l) and pull it downward to
reset the Airbag Release Mechanism (1j).
7. Snap the Release Clips (1k) located on the Release Flap
(1l) onto the Airbag Release Mechanism (1j) and tuck
the perimeter of the Release Flap under the surrounding
weather shield.
