The Zip’In 2 Airbag is designed for all the horse back riders who want
to incorporate both style and safety. The airbag is integrated in to all
compatible Zip’In outers within a few seconds and hence becomes
invisible.

The airbag liner is independent, but should be worn under compatible and
Zip’In approved clothing. Listed Below:

Airshell Prestige Vest Outer

Airshell Vest Outer

Airshell Jacket Outer

Airjump Jacket

As an independent unit, the airbag is also becoming popular in the
motocross and speedway disciplines due to its ease of use and impressive
results in saving lives.

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.

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR AIRBAG

Each Helite airbag has its own cleaning instructions, please visit our
website www.heliteuk.co.uk to know how to clean your model.

Do not expose your airbag to high temperatures (near heat source, flame
or radiator, etc.).

Do not leave your airbag within reach of rodents or other animals.

Store your airbag in a dry place, keep away from humidity.

Do not leave your airbag folded or rolled up for a long time. It is best
to store your airbag on a clothes hanger.

SERVICING/SAFETY CHECKS

For safety reasons, we ask you to check your airbag on an annual basis.
Ideally this would be by sending it in to us for an annual service check
https://heliteuk.co.uk/product/servicing/. Servicing annually is not
mandatory. However, to comply with the warranty terms and conditions
servicing every two years is required.

Should you wish to check your airbag manually at home please follow
these simple instructions.

Unscrew and weigh your CO2 canister on a scale. Please make sure it is
approximately +/- 3g for 50CC, 60CC and 85cc canisters or +/- 5g for
100CC canisters to the weight written on your canister (Helite sticker
on the canister). Our canisters are under warranty of 10 years.

Open the mechanical system using Allen key supplied with your purchase.
Be careful, keep the key-ball in position with your hand to avoid any
risk of ejection. Wipe dust off the components and check for rust or
corrosion. Put the elements back in the following order: piston, spring,
cap. Insert again the key-ball (the ring must be flat), keep it in
position and screw the cap with the Allen key.

If you encounter any of the problems described below or if you have any
doubt concerning the proper use of your airbag, please contact us ……….

If the textile is torn, the airbag is visible or pierced.

If a crack, breakage or corrosion appears on the parts of the release
pin or on the gas canister.
