• For safety reasons, we recommend that you check your cartridge annually. Uns-
crew and weigh your CO2 cartridge (this action does not cause the airbag to inflate).
Make sure that the weight of the cartridge is +/- 3g for the 50cc, 60 cc, 85 cc and
+/- 5g for the 100 cc compared to the initial weight (see information on the cartridge
label). If you encounter any problem, please contact your dealer.
• If rust or other corrosive marks appear on the outer surface of the cartridge,
change it immediately and contact your dealer.
• The cartridge should be stored and used in temperatures below 45°C. Do not
expose the full cartridges for a long time to high temperatures (in direct sunlight,
near a radiator, etc).
• The cartridge must be used at a temperature above 0°C. If stored below 0°C, warm
up before use or replace it with a cartridge stored at room temperature.
• Avoid shocks to the cartridge, this could damage it.
• The used or damaged cartridge will have to be recycled or disposed in accordance
with your country's legislation.

Saddle strap
The rider is responsible for the proper installation of the saddle strap. Make sure to
adjust your strap correctly:
• Make sure that your lanyard and saddle strap are not too long. It could delay or
prevent the trigger from firing efficiently.
• If your lanyard and saddle strap are too short this could bother you during riding
and cause unexpected activation particularly whilst jumping.
How to install your saddle strap?
Remove both stirrup leathers from your saddle.
Your saddle strap has the shape of a Y. Attach the
two Y arms on each side of your saddle to the stirrup
bars. You will probably have to loosen the strap to
reach the stirrup bars. Put your stirrup leathers back
in place. Once the installation is complete, be sure to
adjust your saddle strap correctly.
E
Lanyard
A clip and a key-ball are located at each end of the
lanyard. The key-ball is positioned on the release pin
and keeps the mechanical system energized. When mounting your horse, the clip
must be hooked to the metal ring of the saddle strap. CAUTION, we recommend
that you do not attach the clip directly to any part of your saddle as it may break in
the event of a fall. Also, make sure that your lanyard cannot wrap itself around any
part of the saddle whilst riding.
