Pack Adjustments
Your pack should be properly fitted before you head into avalanche terrain. The forces of an
avalanche can rip the pack from your back if it is not secured to your body.
Attaching Leg Straps
The leg straps
} are stored behind the waist strap pockets
~. Pull one leg strap out and loosen the adjustment on the
strap so you have plenty of length to work with. With the
loop in your hand, bring the strap around the outside of
your leg then through your legs.
Insert the waist strap (the same side as the leg strap)
through the leg strap loop. Repeat process for the other
leg, then fasten the waist buckle. Tighten the adjustment
on the leg straps until they are snug but comfortable.
Waist Buckle
There are two parts to the buckle: male and female. Insert the male part into the widest opening of the
female part. Tighten the waist strap until snug. When attached correctly, the webbing and the buckle
should lay flat against your body.
Using the Avalanche Airbag
Be sure to complete the following steps before each use of the Float 30 avalanche airbag pack.
Refer to the numbered images and diagrams for visual reference.
System Fittings
Check the quick connect fitting
u between the compressed air cylinder v and the air hose w to
make sure it is attached securely. The plastic coupler gauge
x must fit in place to ensure the system
is properly connected.
Unscrew the trigger cover
y and make sure the trigger cable nut z is attached securely to the
trigger pin
{. Replace trigger cover.
Air Cylinder
Check the pressure gauge | on the compressed air cylinder and make sure it is between 2500
and 2700 psi at room temperature (approximately 70°F or 21°C). Pressure must be checked at
room temperature for the reading to be accurate. Check pressure before every use. Pressure must
be between 2500 and 2700 psi at 70°F (21°C) for system to operate properly. Once the system
is exposed to cold, the pressure will drop. If the pressure is ever observed below 2000 psi, at any
temperature, the airbag may not fill completely. PRESSURE MUST BE IN THIS RANGE OR THE
SYSTEM MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. See “Installing Compressed Air Cylinder” on page 9 for
replacement details.
Inspect the cylinder. Do not use a cylinder that is dented or damaged.
Pack
Check that the fabric inner liner that houses the compressed air assembly is zipped completely. Be
sure nothing is inside the inner liner other than the airbag components.
Check to make sure that nothing is obstructing the airbag compartment on the outside of the pack.
