General Information - Held Air Vest Manuel D'utilisation

GB
• Do not remove any part of the trigger system.
• Modifications or wrongly used airbag could decrease dangerously the effectiveness of your
system.
• Once used, the CO2 cartridge must be replaced with a fresh cartridge of the same capacity.
• Remove any pointed objects such as pens, pins, glasses and mobile phones from your clothing
before putting on the Held Jacket.
• Detach the jacket 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.
• Check that your jacket is in good condition, i.e. no rips or tears, before each use.
• If you are unsure whether your jacket is working correctly, we recommend that you take it to
an authorized dealer.
• Store your Held jacket on a clothes hanger. Do not fold it or hang anything else on top of it. Keep
away from high temperatures and humidity.
• Do not sew or stick anything on the Held jacket as it could pierce the airbags and prevent them
from working properly.
• Make sure that the strap is firmly attached to a strong part of the motorcycle's structure

2. General Information

• The jacket 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 motorcyc-
le 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.
• Held airbag jacket absorbs shocks and offers the collar of the neck and trunk more support, thus
reducing the risk of over bending the spinal column.
• Held jacket cannot guarantee the rider absolute safety. The Held 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 Held
system should not be activated during normal use.
• If the biker falls with his bike, the Held 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.
