Step 1 – Removing the used cartridge

After the airbag deploys, the ball is ejected, and the spring becomes visible.
Unscrew the used CO₂ cartridge, then remove it completely.

Step 2 – Loosening the system

Using the supplied Allen key (5 mm), loosen the cap.
Do not unscrew it completely, but only enough to reposition the piston.

Step 3 – Repositioning the piston

Reposition the piston using the Allen key or your finger.
Ensure that the piston's notch is perfectly aligned with the hole intended for the ball.

Step 4 – Replacing the ball

Replace the ball in its housing.
Make sure the ring around the ball is positioned flat.
Start screwing the cap back on by hand while firmly holding the ball.

Step 5 – Tightening the mechanism

Finish tightening the cap using the Allen key.
The cap must be in contact with the cylinder.
Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the system.

Step 6 – Installing the new cartridge

Screw in a new CO₂ cartridge suitable for your airbag size.
Tighten completely without forcing, ensuring the cartridge is correctly aligned.

Recommended cartridges

• 50 cc for sizes 3XS to XS

• 60 cc for sizes S to XL

Points of attention

• Always use a new cartridge after deployment

• Never reuse a cartridge that has already been pierced

• Never force when screwing

• In case of doubt about reassembly or the condition of the system, do not use the airbag and contact AXION Equestrian after-sales service

Recommendation

Correct rearming of the airbag is essential to guarantee its effectiveness in the event of a fall.

In case of doubt, it is recommended to have the product checked by AXION Equestrian after-sales service.

ARTICLE 1 – COMMISSIONING

Your AXION Equestrian airbag is delivered ready for use.

Before first use, it is essential to screw in a CO₂ cartridge suitable for the size of the vest.

The customer must ensure that the cartridge is correctly installed, not punctured, and perfectly screwed in before any use.

ARTICLE 2 – CHECKS BEFORE USE

Before each use, it is the customer's responsibility to:

• check that the cartridge is correctly screwed in and in good condition

• inspect the general condition of the vest (fabric, seams, trigger system)

• correctly install the tether strap at the level of the two stirrup leathers

• adjust the length of the tether strap

• verify the attachment of the connection cord

• wear the airbag closed and correctly adjusted

ARTICLE 3 – CONDITIONS OF USE

The airbag must be connected to the saddle before mounting a horse.

Use must comply with the following rules:

• use only the supplied tether strap

• never attach the cord to any point other than the one intended

• never use the airbag without a cartridge installed

• wear the airbag alone or under a compatible jacket

• maintain sufficient freedom of movement

Any non-compliant use is the sole responsibility of the customer.

ARTICLE 4 – AIRBAG SYSTEM OPERATION

The AXION Equestrian airbag operates using a mechanical trigger system connected to the saddle by a tether cord.

In the event of a fall, the tension exerted on the cord triggers the system, allowing the airbag to inflate in a few milliseconds.

Inflation helps absorb shocks and stabilize certain areas of the body.

The system is designed to limit accidental deployments, but accidental deployment remains possible, especially if disconnection is forgotten.

ARTICLE 5 – AFTER DEPLOYMENT

After deployment:

• the cartridge must be replaced with a new, suitable cartridge
