HELITEÂ airbag jackets and vests are designed to be re-set by you. Â Carrying a spare CO2 canister provides redundancy in case of incident. The HELITE Lanyard trigger system uses a screw in CO2 canister – this is a proven and safe system. The canister must be screwed in fully; under no circumstances should the screw thread be visible. The bottom plug must also be fully engaged – a 5mm hex key and instruction booklet is supplied with the jacket. Â Please check your canister size as they are matched to different sizes of airbag jackets and vests.
Canister Annual Safety Check
- To ensure your canister is fully operational, visually check and weigh them on a regular basis. At a minimum, set yourself an annual reminder.
- Reject any canister which shows signs of corrosion, deterioration or variation in the standard weight printed on the label. A modern set of digital kitchen scales is ideal for this task. Please dispose of these responsibly.
- We recommend canisters are changed within their working lifespan to ensure reliable inflation.
