5.1 Preparing, putting on and deploying the airbag

01 Check that the airbag system has been installed
correctly before entering terrain with a potential av-
alanche risk. Follow the instructions in Section 5.3.
02 Always check the filling pressure of the cartridge
before use.
A Cartridge with pressure gauge: At a room tem-
perature of 20 °C/68 °F, the arrow must be in the
green area.
B Cartridge without pressure gauge: the actual
weight of the cartridge (without protective cap)
must correspond to the weight indicated on the
cartridge (+/–5 g).

03 Screw the cartridge all the way into the mechanism,
fasten in the cartridge pocket using velcro and
close the pocket. Make sure there are no foreign
objects in the pocket. Mammut airbags may only
be used with Mammut or Snowpulse cartridges.

black rubber seal must not be visible). The cartridge
must be secured using velcro.

04 Adjust the height of the deployment handle on the
left shoulder strap. There are three different set-
tings (S/M/L). The grip should ideally be at chest
height. The strap should be properly attached to
the hook.
Close the upper zipper until it is just below the at-
tachment. Use the lower zipper to install and re-
move the handle.
You can lock the zipper by folding the handle up.

05 To put on the avalanche airbag correctly, thread the
hip belt through the leg strap; close the hip belt (the
hip belt should sit approximately on the hip bone);
tighten the shoulder straps; tighten the chest strap.
The length of the leg loop can also be adjusted. The
leg loop should also fit tightly.
06 Before entering areas with an avalanche risk, re-
move the deployment handle from the pocket and
turn into a T position. To stow the deployment han-
dle, press the button under the grip and twist it into a
vertical position. Place the grip in the shoulder strap
and close the zipper.
07 If you become caught in an avalanche, deploy the
airbag immediately. It is better to use it once too of-
ten than once too little. Pull the deployment handle
hard and decisively.
The airbag will automatically fill in approx. three sec-
onds. You will hear a relatively loud noise as the airbag
fills.
