Resetting The Trigger - Point Two ProAir2 Adult User Manual

• Replace the stirrup leathers ensuring they are securely on.
CAUTION
Make sure that the lanyard cannot wrap itself around any part of the saddle when riding. Shorten it
accordingly and check that it does not restrict the rider's movements and that the chosen fixing point is
sturdy enough.
5 Attaching the Lanyard to the Attachment
The lanyard has a clip at the end, which simply clips onto the central ring of the adjustable attachment on
the saddle. The lanyard must be securely clipped on to the ring otherwise your jacket will not inflate in the
event of a fall.
Considerable force is required to activate the trigger mechanism, so the Point Two airbag system should
not be activated during normal use. Should the lanyard linking the saddle to the release pin catch on
any obstruction, accidental activation could occur. If the horse falls and the rider stays in the saddle, the
Point Two airbag system cannot be activated until the activation distance (full stretch of the lanyard) and
activation force are both reached.
Always detach the lanyard from the saddle before dismounting to avoid accidentally inflating the airbag
system. Forgetting to unfasten the lanyard before dismounting when the lanyard is too long or not enough
force is exerted will mean the wearer will still be attached to the saddle if the horse gallops off. If this
happens, push back forcefully to trigger the airbag system, which will also disconnect the lanyard.
6 Precautions after Activation
Pay attention to the following points when the airbag is inflated:
• Make sure you are out of danger before removing the Point Two body protector.
• The airbag will remain inflated for 15 – 20 seconds. The gas will then escape gradually through the
decompression outlet in the trigger body.
• If the cushions are punctured when the airbag is inflated, all the chambers will empty and the jacket will deflate.
• Do not block the decompression valve, which is located within the trigger body.
• If any external damage to the body protector is caused during deployment, contact Point Two Air Vests
Ltd. on 01403 732129, for servicing and replacement of the cartridge.
• In the event of serious damage to either the interior or exterior of the body protector, it may not be
possible to repair it.

9. Resetting the Trigger

If after reading the following instructions you remain unsure of the correct procedure to reset your Point
Two's airbag system, we recommend you take it to an authorised dealer for resetting and a further
demonstration of how you can reset the system yourself. The Point Two body protector can be reused if it is
reset according to the following procedure, but if it is not reset correctly there could be a malfunction. Using
the Point Two body protector without a correctly set airbag trigger system could deprive the wearer of the
protection provided by the airbags.
IMPORTANT
These steps must be followed in sequence before removing a spent cartridge to avoid damaging the
release pin. We recommend that an adult resets the jacket after activation or contact 01403 732129 for advice.
