General Information - Helite Zertifizierter Airbag Bedienungsanleitung

USER GUIDE
• Do not remove any part of the trigger system.
• Modifications or wrongly used airbag could decrease dangerously the effectiveness of your
system.
• Do not sew/iron or stick anything on the Helite airbag as it could pierce the airbags and
prevent them from working properly.
• Remove any pointed objects such as pens, pins, glasses and mobile phones from your
clothing before putting on the Helite Jacket.
• Check that your airbag is in good condition, i.e. no rips or tears, before each use.
• Store your Helite airbag on a clothes hanger. Do not fold it or hang anything else on top of
it. Keep away from high temperatures and humidity.
• Unclip from the motorcycle before dismounting to avoid accidental inflation. If you have a
passenger, check if he is attached when riding and unclips before dismounting.
• Take the time to install the motorcycle strap correctly to your motorcycle. Ideally under the
seat, close to your gravity centre.
• Once used, the CO2 cartridge must be replaced with a new cartridge of the same capacity.
• If you are unsure whether your airbag is working correctly, we recommend that you take it
to an authorized dealer.

2. General Information

• The airbag is worn like a normal jacket when riding. The user clips the strap to the jacket.
When the rider falls or is thrown from the motorcycle, the strap linking the rider to the
motorcycle tightens and forces out the key ball which activates the release pin. The CO2
cartridge is pierced by the release pin and discharges the gas in the airbags, to reach full
inflation in less than 0.1 seconds.
• Helite airbag absorbs shocks and offers the collar of the neck and trunk more support, thus
reducing the risk of over bending the spinal column.
• Helite airbag cannot guarantee the rider absolute safety. The Helite jacket protects only
when inflated and does not protect areas which are not covered by the airbags. The jacket
does not protect the rider from all injuries. Please respect both the speed limit and the driving
rules.
• Considerable force, around 35kg, is required to activate the trigger mechanism, so the Helite
system should not be activated during normal use.
• If the biker falls with his bike, the Helite system cannot be activated until the activation
distance is reached. If this happens, we recommend that you push yourself forcefully away
from the bike to trigger the airbag mechanism and distance yourself from the protruding
parts of the bike.
• The CO2 cartridge is not re-usable.
• This personal protection device contains no known allergenic substances. The design will
not cause irritation or any discomfort to the wearer.
