Usage and Maintenance:
- Activation: When the Float trigger is activated, the cylinder releases compressed air to inflate the airbag, providing immediate buoyancy to help you stay on top of the snow.
- Pre-Trip Check: Always ensure your cylinder is full and properly connected before heading out. This pre-trip check is vital for the system’s effectiveness in an emergency.
- Shipping and Handling: Due to its classification as a hazardous material, full cylinders incur an additional shipping fee and must be signed for upon delivery. This ensures safe and compliant handling of the product.
